BRATWURST, German beer and other Oktoberfest festivities were enjoyed by all at a Balsall Common care home.
Residents at Harper Fields care home celebrated Oktoberfest with a variety of food delicacies prepared by the dining team led by head chef Marcin including pretzels and chocolate lebkuchen hearts and some German beers thanks to Byatt’s Brewery in Coventry.

“Thank you to all the team for dressing up in traditional costumes and to our residents for joining in the spirit of Oktoberfest, well done Racheal for providing German music and a ‘schuplatter’ dance, the day was truly wonderful.”
