OKTOBERFEST CATERING

Oktoberfest Catering

Celebrate Fall With Flavor, Warmth, and Festive Style

Oktoberfest might have Bavarian roots, but here in New York City, it’s evolved into a full-season celebration of warmth, food, and connection. At NY Green Apple, our Oktoberfest catering brings the best of the season to life—without the stress of cooking or cleanup. From corporate happy hours to rooftop gatherings, we deliver festive trays and individually boxed meals that honor Oktoberfest’s spirit while staying light, inclusive, and styled for fall.

Our menus are inspired by the classics—bratwursts, pretzels, mustard-dressed slaws—but we add a fresh, seasonal spin. Think roasted root vegetables with cider glaze, grilled vegan sausages, and warm apple desserts served in compostable jars. It’s Oktoberfest, done your way—clean, flavorful, and ready to serve anywhere in the city.

Oktoberfest Catering NYC

A Seasonal Favorite for Offices and Events

As fall settles over New York City and the weather turns crisp, workplaces and event hosts start looking for warm, seasonal ways to bring people together. Oktoberfest has quickly become one of NYC’s most popular autumn gatherings—a celebration inspired by Bavarian tradition, reimagined for offices, community groups, and private events across the city.

At Green Apple Catering, we bring the flavors of Oktoberfest directly to your event with ease. From bratwurst and soft pretzels to German potato salad and classic desserts, our menus make it simple to enjoy a taste of Munich in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and beyond. Similar to our
occasion-based catering services, our Oktoberfest menus combine seasonal comfort food with convenience for gatherings of any size.

Why Oktoberfest Works So Well for Office Celebrations

Oktoberfest offers a unique mix of fun and professionalism. It’s relaxed enough for lunchtime gatherings yet festive enough to anchor after-work social events. Unlike bigger holiday celebrations, Oktoberfest provides flexibility—making it a perfect choice for businesses wanting to build camaraderie or show appreciation in a casual, memorable way.

We’ve transformed conference rooms into cozy, Bavarian-inspired lounges complete with themed menus and branded touches. Much like our
Administrative Day catering, Oktoberfest gives organizations a fresh way to say thank you—this time with pretzels, mustard, and seasonal flavors.

Office Lunches and Corporate Happy Hours

Whether you’re planning a catered lunch or a relaxed happy hour, Oktoberfest gives teams a reason to connect outside their usual routines. Choose from fully staffed buffets or self-serve platters that are easy to set up and enjoy. Our
corporate catering services
are built for flexibility—perfect for multi-floor offices, hybrid teams, and a wide range of building requirements.

Most Popular Oktoberfest Menu Selections

Every fall, favorites like bratwurst with grain mustard, warm pretzel bites, schnitzel sliders, beer cheese dip, and root vegetable slaws make their return. Many clients customize their menus with a combination of classics and contemporary dishes, ensuring the spread feels fresh and inviting. Vegetarian-friendly German-inspired options are also available so every guest can enjoy the celebration.

One top pick is our
Build-Your-Own Dinner Buffet,
which lets you pair traditional Oktoberfest dishes with seasonal sides or a themed dessert display.

Add Variety with Sandwiches, Sides, and Salads

Not every Oktoberfest event requires a full hot buffet. For casual or mixed-group gatherings, our sandwich assortments and side salads offer a simple yet festive alternative. Guests can eat at their desks, mingle around shared tables, or grab a quick bite on the go. Our
sandwich and salad menu
can be customized with autumn flavors and paired with warm cider, pickled vegetables, or Bavarian treats.

Planning for Events of Any Size

Whether you’re hosting a 20-person rooftop gathering or catering lunch for 150 employees, our Oktoberfest menus scale effortlessly. Some clients choose a simple pretzel-and-sausage display, while others opt for full buffets with drinks and desserts. For large-scale events, we recommend browsing our
special buffet menus,
which can be tailored to your venue, timeline, and guest list.

Drop-Off Catering for Small Groups

For hybrid teams or smaller celebrations, our
lunch box catering
offers individually packaged meals with Oktoberfest flair—think brat sliders, cabbage slaw, and warm apple pastries. It’s a practical and festive option for groups with limited space or staggered schedules.

Connecting Oktoberfest with Other Fall Events

Oktoberfest frequently overlaps with key corporate dates such as Halloween, Veterans Day, and Administrative Professionals Day. Many clients opt for one coordinated seasonal event rather than multiple separate gatherings. We design Oktoberfest menus that blend seamlessly with other themes, similar to our
Halloween catering
or
Veterans Day meals.

We’ve also incorporated Oktoberfest into
Administrative Day celebrations,
creating unified events that engage multiple departments through one cohesive menu.

When to Book Oktoberfest Catering in NYC

Autumn is one of the busiest catering seasons in New York City. We recommend booking Oktoberfest events at least 7–10 business days in advance. Larger events requiring staff, rentals, or hot stations may need additional lead time, but we will always try to accommodate last-minute platter or drop-off orders whenever possible.

Seasonal Spins on German-Inspired Comfort Food

Oktoberfest menus are known for hearty, warming dishes—but we create them with a lighter, modern touch. Expect options like grilled chicken sausages with herb mustard, pretzel sliders with seasonal slaws, or dairy-free root vegetable gratins. Vegan or gluten-free guests will find just as much to enjoy.

Our dishes are designed to travel well, hold heat, and look beautiful in rustic fall displays—just like the thoughtful presentations featured in our
Valentine’s Day catering
programs.

Flexible Catering Formats for Corporate and Social Events

From backyard gatherings to large corporate lunches, our catering formats make planning easy. Trays arrive compostably packaged and clearly labeled for smooth buffet service. If you prefer individual servings, we offer boxed meals with entrées, sides, and desserts all portioned for one.

We also assist with planning, beverage pairing, and optional staffing for larger groups—delivering the same streamlined service found in our
Halloween catering
events.

Plant-Based and All-Inclusive Menu Options

Oktoberfest shouldn’t leave anyone out. Our menus include vegan sausages, gluten-free pretzels, dairy-free potato salads, and hearty lentil stews that fit a wide range of dietary needs. Every dish is clearly labeled and presented with care to match the season.

These inclusive options bring balance and variety to your event—just as thoughtfully designed as our
Mother’s Day catering
menus.

Desserts and Seasonal Drinks to Complete the Experience

No Oktoberfest event is complete without seasonal sweets and festive drinks. We prepare warm apple strudels, cinnamon-oat doughnuts, and flourless chocolate walnut bars, along with apple cider stations, pear punch with spices, and cozy tea setups perfect for cooler days.

Our beverage displays are styled with the same attention to detail as our
Administrative Day catering,
ensuring your event feels polished from start to finish.
