Is it a coven or a kindred? As far as I know Asatru don't have covens but if it's someone's house I would take some wine as a token.

Personally, I would call the "hostess" or "host" and ask their preference on this one. Different covens have different rules. If they say to bring something, I would suggest doing a search and finding an approprite food/recipe for the season/sabbat/esbat, preparing that and taking it. This time of year, most anything made from pumpkin, squash, blackberries, blueberries, and similar items would be fine, in my opinion. However, get togethers do not always cover meals, so you might try a nice blackberry wine, homemade pumpkin cookies, or sugar cookies shaped in a symbol special to the religion.

Hospitality is a major thing in all scandia lore and custom. Sweets like cookies or honeyed breads are always welcome, you know munchies.
Though it largely does depends on the time of meet and greet and the local. In a public setting, just bring yourself. If going to a private home, bring a bottle of wine, mead--depending on age of group--bread, or sweets.
One other note, I would suggest checking your totem spirits or guardians at the door. Hehheee a room does get crowded fast with people and all their 'friends'. Though a talisman of 'protection' or 'grounding' or 'clear seeing/thinking' are always benefical.

Suzanne gave you a very good answer. I would just like to add: bring something that you made yourself.
Home baked cookies will surely be more appreciated, especially if the kindred is very traditionalist. If you can't bake, ask mum/granny/best friend/somebody like that. It will still be appreciated more than if you just buy them in a shop.

bring a nice bottle of mead
i'm confused though as to what you're actually going to. in fact, it doesn't sound like you even know what it is, or even which faith group it is. you may want to research this a little more
good luck

You should bring a clove of garlic, a silver bullet, and a holy relic and hope to hell that they work. Otherwise, you are probably going to be turned into a frog or boiled alive in a big black cauldron.

A good bottle of wine is usually appreciated or some white candles.
