Droitwich Spa home to UK’s longest bratwurst, pub bosses claim

A 12.12m (39.76 ft) bratwurst, which pub bosses claim to be the UK’s longest, has been a sizzling hit for punters.

Chefs at The Castle in Droitwich Spa cooked the colossal banger, to celebrate Oktoberfest, the annual German beer event most associated with Munich.

They said they had followed a traditional German recipe, and then served it alongside crispy onions, mustard and curry ketchup.

The bratwurst’s length symbolises the 1,212km (753 miles) between the pub and Theresienwiese, the home of Munich’s Oktoberfest celebration.

Theresienwiese, which is an open space in Munich, Germany, is where Oktoberfest began, but it is now celebrated across the world, with many UK events.

Locals were able to tuck into the extra-large sausage at The Castle pub’s event on Saturday, which also featured an oompah band and stein-holding (strength) competitions.

“Droitwich Spa is a long way from Munich, so we wanted to give our customers a taste of Oktoberfest in their local pub,” said Rebecca Hall, general manager.

She added staff had had a lot of fun cooking up the meaty delicacy.

“It’s exciting to know that there will be enough of this authentic bratwurst for everyone to try, alongside other Oktoberfest staples like schnitzel and Bavarian beer,” said Marc Razzell, who supplied the porky delight.

Oktoberfest is always a raucous event, but while Munich is the centre of the celebrations, a “more sophisticated” version can be found three hours north in Bamberg, the true home of Germany’s beer culture.
