“The Chocolate Factory – home of Bustler – will be transformed, with all the traditional Oktoberfest décor and we’ll have delicious street food, as always. In the line up are Squeaky Beaver serving up Poutine and Get Wurst, with handcrafted, authentic German sausages. Which is perfect for the Oktoberfest theme.”
