Melbourne Cup at Pig 'N' Whistle South Bank

A proper lunch and something sweet to finish: Melbourne Cup at Pig 'N' Whistle South Bank is a three-course catch-up with mates.

There's a choice of local tiger prawns, beef pan rolls or truffle arancini to start. Mains include 200g eye fillet steak, Atlantic salmon fillet or potato gnocchi, followed by sticky date pudding or chocolate fondant.

Half a dozen oysters and a bottle of Pirie are available as an optional extra for the table. With lunch taken care of, there's plenty of time for good company and a little Cup Day cheer.
