Discover the Authentic German Sausage That Started It All
The Bratwurst – Germany’s Most Iconic Sausage
Few foods capture the heart of German cuisine quite like the Bratwurst. This traditional sausage, with its juicy texture and lightly seasoned aroma, has been part of German life for centuries. From bustling Christmas markets to family garden barbecues, the Bratwurst stands for community, warmth, and unmistakable flavour.
At The Sausage Haüs, we bring this beloved classic straight from Germany to the UK. Our Bratwurst is produced by Hardy Remagen, a butcher family with more than 300 years of experience. Through our partnership and Baird Foods logistics network, we deliver genuine German quality — frozen, pre-cooked, and ready to serve — to caterers, retailers, and event organisers across Britain.
What Makes a True German Bratwurst
The name Bratwurst is derived from the old German words brät (finely chopped meat) and wurst (sausage). Yet, true Bratwurst is far more than just meat in a casing. It’s a symbol of precision, patience, and respect for tradition.
At The Sausage Haüs, every Bratwurst follows time-tested German standards:
- High-quality pork with more than 85% meat content for a full-bodied flavour.
- Natural casings that create the classic snap when you bite into the sausage.
- Traditional seasoning with salt, white pepper, nutmeg, and marjoram — carefully balanced for aroma and taste.
- Gentle pre-cooking to preserve moisture and ensure perfect consistency.
Each sausage is vacuum-packed and frozen immediately after cooking. As a result, it keeps its freshness, structure, and flavour for months without preservatives.
This combination of craftsmanship and convenience makes our Bratwurst ideal for both large-scale catering and small local events.

Cooking the Bratwurst – Fast, Easy, Authentic
Because our Bratwurst is fully pre-cooked, you can prepare it in minutes without worrying about undercooking.
- For authenticity: avoid heating the Bratwurst in a water bath — it needs to be grilled or pan-fried until browned, as the caramelisation is essential to unlock its full flavour potential.
- For flavour and texture: Grill or pan-fry until nicely browned.
- For volume service: Reheat evenly on a hotplate or roller grill.
This flexibility means caterers can adapt easily to every setting — whether serving hundreds at a festival or a few dozen at a pub beer garden.
Furthermore, the Bratwurst’s even texture and reliable quality make portioning simple and consistent. Each serving delivers the same satisfying flavour and presentation, no matter who’s behind the counter.
Serving Ideas – From Street Food to Fine Dining
The Bratwurst may have humble origins, but it fits almost every type of menu. Here are a few proven ways to serve it:
1. Classic German Bratwurst Roll
Place your Bratwurst in a crusty roll (Brötchen) with mustard and sauerkraut. Add crispy onions for extra texture — the perfect grab-and-go snack.
2. Currywurst Style
Slice the sausage, drizzle with ketchup, and sprinkle with curry powder. This Berlin favourite brings bold colour and street-food appeal to any event.
3. Pub-Style Comfort Plate
Serve Bratwurst with mashed potatoes, onion gravy, and garden peas. This fusion of German and British comfort food has become a hit in pubs across the UK.
4. Festival Grill Platter
Offer a trio of our premium sausages — Bratwurst, Cheese Frankfurter, and Bacon Krakauer — with potato salad and pickles. Ideal for Oktoberfest menus and outdoor events.
5. Rustic Wedding BBQ
Swap traditional BBQ sausages for authentic Bratwurst. Their rich flavour and golden colour make them a standout feature at weddings, corporate parties, and beer festivals.
Because the Bratwurst is both mild and full-flavoured, it appeals to all ages and tastes — making it a dependable bestseller in every season.

A Little History of the Bratwurst
The Bratwurst dates back to medieval Franconia, where butchers used every part of the pig to create a hearty, spiced sausage. Over time, each German region developed its own signature version. The Nürnberger is small and spicy; the Thüringer is long and smoky; the Coburger includes a hint of lemon zest.
Our recipe takes inspiration from the Rheinland tradition — mild, balanced, and perfect for modern palates. It combines the warmth of nutmeg and marjoram with a natural beechwood aroma. That’s why it performs so well in both traditional dishes and contemporary menus.
Even today, the Bratwurst remains a staple of German culture. It’s the first choice at markets, beer festivals, and sports events. By serving it in the UK, you bring that same spirit of hospitality and celebration to your customers.
