There will be over 40 expert Bavarian waitresses dressed in traditional Dirndl dresses to serve the guest quickly, and live entertainment from famous Oktoberfest bands from Munich followed by modern pop acts and DJs that will run through the evening.

The food stalls will be selling traditional Bavarian cuisine including Haxn (pork knuckles), Leberkäs (beef/pork loaf), Sauerkraut, and of course the world-famous Bratwurst sausages. Visitors will also have the opportunity to buy merchandise articles and souvenirs as traditional Bavarian clothing that will remind them of a great day out at the ERDINGER Oktoberfest in London.
