Pickwick & Cherry

Halfling Birthday Party - Second Lunch
2026-09-22 18:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
There are many ways to celebrate a birthday (or two!). We prefer the kind that involves pastry, potatoes, cake, and perhaps one meal too many.
Join us for a cozy fantasy-inspired cooking experience as we prepare a feast fit for a very special occasion. Together we’ll make Mushroom Hand Pies, Pork & Apple Sausage Rolls, Rosie’s Party Potatoes, Gaffer’s Garden Salad, Apple Dumplings, and a Honey Spice Birthday Cake.
Along the way we’ll work with pastry dough, learn a few kitchen tricks, share a meal, and create the sort of spread that would make any lover of comfort food feel right at home.
Choose your preferred seating:
• Elevensies
• Second Lunch
Costumes are welcome but not required. Good appetites are strongly encouraged.
Whether you’re a fan of fantasy adventures, cozy kitchens, abundant tables, or simply eating delicious food with interesting people, this class is for you.
After all, birthdays come but once a year. Extra meals are sensible whenever you can get away with them.

BYOB

Crisp cider, brown ale, mead, sparkling apple juice, strong black tea, or anything that sounds good.

ADMIT ONE

Each ticket admits one person, but don’t let that stop you. This is a great experience to share with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, frenemies, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with!

Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience

About our Oktoberfest Date Night Cooking Experience
Prost! Get ready to raise a glass and celebrate Oktoberfest with a night full of flavor, laughter, and hands-on Bavarian cooking. This isn’t just any cooking class—it’s a lively date night that captures the warmth, heartiness, and cheer of Germany’s most famous festival. Think clinking steins, the smell of fresh-baked pretzels, and the joy of cooking something delicious together. Lederhosen and dirndls are totally optional—but if you wear them, you’ll definitely earn extra applause!
We’ll kick things off with warm pretzel pockets—golden brown on the outside, soft on the inside, and stuffed with gooey cheese, smoky ham, and tangy mustard. (We’ll prep the dough in advance so you get straight to the fun part: stuffing, shaping, and baking!) Then, roll up your sleeves to hand-make spätzle noodles just like Oma would have made them. Next, we’ll simmer beer-braised bratwurst with sauerkraut until juicy and savory, and toss together a warm German potato salad that’s bright, tangy, and just the right amount of comfort food.
And because no Oktoberfest is complete without something sweet, dessert is a show-stopping, team effort: a giant, six-foot-long apple strudel! Together, you’ll stretch the dough paper-thin (don’t worry, we’ll teach you the tricks of the trade), fill it with cinnamon-spiced apples and toasty breadcrumbs, and roll it into a golden, fragrant masterpiece. When it comes out of the oven, the first slice will have everyone grinning.
Bring your favorite Oktoberfest brew, your favorite person, and your best appetite. We’ll bring the recipes, the music, and the fun. By the end of the night, you’ll feel like you’ve danced, cooked, and feasted your way through Munich—without ever leaving the Ozarks.

BYOB

We suggest an Oktoberfest/Märzen beer, of course! If you prefer wine, any white German or Austrian wine would be perfect (dry or sweet, take your pick!)
