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.

Seasonal Takes on German-Inspired Comfort Food

There’s a reason Oktoberfest menus lean toward the hearty: fall is the season for bold flavors and warming meals. But at NY Green Apple, we craft these comfort dishes with a lighter, fresher approach. Our menus feature grilled chicken sausages with herb mustard, pretzel sliders with seasonal slaw, and root vegetable gratins made without cream or gluten. Vegan and dairy-free guests will find just as much flavor on their plate as anyone else.

Our food travels well, holds heat, and is styled for rustic, autumn-themed events—indoors or out. These seasonal spins are the perfect companion to the thoughtful dining showcased in our Valentine’s Day catering, blending flavor with celebration all season long.

Flexible Formats for Corporate and Social Gatherings

Whether you’re planning a backyard Oktoberfest with friends or a company-wide lunch with branded touches, we make catering easy. Our trays come compostably packaged and labeled, ready for buffet service. Need something more individualized? We offer custom boxed meals, each with warm entrées, sides, and dessert, portioned for one and packed with care.

We also provide help with portion planning, beverage pairings, and optional staff support for larger events. Clients often appreciate how we coordinate multi-theme events with the same seamless service found in our Halloween catering, where presentation and logistics work hand in hand.

Plant-Based Options and Inclusive Entrees

Oktoberfest catering should never be one-size-fits-all—and with NY Green Apple, it isn’t. Our menus include house-made vegan sausages, gluten-free soft pretzels, dairy-free potato salad, and hearty lentil stews that comfort without compromise. Each dish is clearly labeled, intentionally styled, and prepared to match the season’s tone.

These inclusive dishes offer full flavor for all guests, echoing the balance and beauty seen in our Mother’s Day catering, where variety and intentionality are central to the experience.

Desserts & Seasonal Drinks That Celebrate the Moment

No Oktoberfest is complete without something sweet and something festive to sip. We offer warm mini apple strudels, cinnamon oat donuts, and flourless chocolate walnut bars—each plated or boxed to match your event’s theme and style.

For drinks, skip the beer if you want to: we serve cider stations with cinnamon, pear punch with mulling spices, and warm tea setups perfect for crisp outdoor evenings. Seasonal drink displays are styled just as beautifully as the spreads in our Office Catering: Administrative Day Menu, where presentation elevates the experience.

Seamless Ordering and Styled Delivery

With NY Green Apple, your Oktoberfest planning is as enjoyable as the event itself. Choose from curated catering bundles or let us build something just for you. We’ll help you select portions, arrange for allergen accommodations, and manage delivery windows—all with an eye toward detail and style.

All packaging is labeled, seasonal garnishes are included, and optional upgrades like signage or warming trays are available on request. This full-service support is part of every themed menu we offer, just like in our Administrative Day catering packages, where ease and elegance always align.
