Griffith gets its first Filipino eatery – and it opened with a pig feast

Key points

• Griffith has its first Filipino eatery, Vince Lechon, which held a soft opening over the weekend with a free buffet and suckling pig feast. Siblings Jon and Jen Paclibare took over the former Fishsmiths seafood store on Probert Avenue at the East Griffith shops.
• Jon said the town had never had a Filipino restaurant and that locals showed enthusiasm for trying something new.
• The main dishes will be pork lechon and barbecue pork skewers, with fish and chips and possibly chicken added later.
