Well that’s not all. Mouth-watering Bavarian street food from Brat Brothers will keep you fuelled with authentic Bratwurst, Weisswurst, Veganwurst, fries and all the trimmings. You can also look forward to freshly baked pretzels with sweet mustard sauce and the not so Bavarian but delicious churros with a selection of sweet sauces including peanut and chocolate and much more besides.
