The buffet is advertised as including Schweinshaxe pork knuckle, grilled Leberkäse and German sausages, with Weisswurst and Cheese Krainer among the varieties listed.
Other dishes include Obatzda cheese dip served with freshly baked pretzels, alongside Apfelstrudel for dessert. The programme also advertises beverages as part of the wider Oktoberfest offering.
The nightly change in accompanying performers gives each date a separate line-up while retaining Slipping Chairs throughout the event. The organisers describe the band’s appearance as exclusive to City of Dreams Sri Lanka during this Oktoberfest season.
The ticket announcement specifies the buffet and live entertainment as included in the advertised price. Tickets and further information are available by calling 077 962 8132.
