Pig Roast — Whole Suckling Spanferkel in the Biergarten

Pig Roast — a whole suckling pig, roasted, in our Biergarten on Capitol Hill. Saturday 26 September from noon. $65 per person.

This is the first of three roasts in our Oktoberfest season and it is the one nobody has been waiting all month for yet, which is the best reason to come to it — the room is easier and the table is yours for longer.

$65 gets you: roast suckling pig, your choice of two Beilagen, Apfelstrudel with house-made vanilla ice cream, and a full litre of Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest bier in the proper Maß.

The sides are the real ones: Sauerkraut stewed with bacon, Rotkohl, Bratkartoffel with onion and bacon, Spätzle, Käsespätzle, Kartoffelknödel in the halb und halb style, Kartoffelsalat, Gurkensalat.

We open at noon for the roast — pig is served starting at 1pm. The Biergarten sits under full-size umbrellas, good for sun or a shower, and the dining room is inside if the afternoon turns cool.

$65 per person, plus tax and service. Reserve — this sells out, and one pig is one pig.
