If you've ever strolled through Manning Road Farmers Market on a Saturday morning and caught the irresistible aroma of sizzling sausages, chances are you’ve found your way to Bratwurst with Attitude. This beloved market stall is a go-to destination for anyone craving authentic German sausages and small goods, all handcrafted right here in Perth.

Run by Armin and Sabine Podgorny, Bratwurst with Attitude has been serving up delicious, preservative-free sausages since 2010, and their journey to becoming a market favourite is as rich as the flavours they bring to every plate.

From German Chef to Perth Market Icon

Armin’s love for food started decades ago. Born and raised in Germany, he completed his chef’s apprenticeship in 1981 and later migrated to Australia in 1988, where he worked in some of Perth’s top kitchens as well as in the offshore and mining industries. But after years of travelling for work, his wife Sabine encouraged him to stay closer to home.

The turning point came in 2010, when Armin’s good friend Elmar from Elmar’s Smallgoods introduced him to a new opportunity. The manager of Manning Road Farmers Market was looking for an authentic German food vendor, and Armin was the perfect fit. From the very first trading day, the stall was a huge success, and Bratwurst with Attitude has been a staple of the market ever since.

What Makes Bratwurst with Attitude Special?

Unlike mass-produced sausages, Bratwurst with Attitude takes pride in locally made, preservative-free, and gluten-free small goods, ensuring every bite is packed with authentic German flavour. Everything is handcrafted at their Highgate premises, using traditional methods to deliver the best quality.

Their best-selling dish? The classic German Grill Bratwurst, served with sauerkraut, onions, and a freshly baked bread roll from Abhi’s Bread, straight from their giant frying pan. It’s the kind of hearty, flavour-packed meal that has customers coming back week after week.

A Stall with a Community Spirit

Over the years, Bratwurst with Attitude has built a strong and loyal customer base. Some of their regulars started coming as babies, holding onto their parents’ hands as they watched Armin cook, and now as teenagers, they still return for their weekly bratwurst fix.

Beyond the delicious food, it’s the friendly, welcoming atmosphere that sets this stall apart. Armin loves chatting with customers, especially kids who are curious about the sizzling sausages. This personal touch has made Bratwurst with Attitude more than just a food stall—it’s a community favourite.

The Challenges of an Outdoor Market

Running a food business at a farmers market isn’t without its challenges. While Bratwurst with Attitude has a loyal following, Perth’s unpredictable weather can sometimes affect business. Extreme heat or rain can keep marketgoers at home, but Armin takes it in stride, always looking forward to the next sunny Saturday.

Supporting Local & Staying Connected

A true advocate for local business, Bratwurst with Attitude collaborates with other vendors, sourcing fresh bread rolls from Abhi’s Bakery and regularly swapping or offering stallholder discounts to fellow market traders. This sense of community and mutual support is what makes Manning Road Farmers Market so special.

If you haven’t visited yet, Manning Road Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 7:15 AM – 12:15 PM at Hedley Park, Bentley. And if you’re already a market regular but haven’t stopped by Bratwurst with Attitude, then you’re missing out on some of the best German street food in Perth!
