Description

A celebration of Scotland’s favourite poet Robert Burns in music and food. We welcome back (by popular demand!) the dynamic duo Hilary Boxer and Alex Ennis with an exhilarating mix of traditional Scottish folk music. Gather in the drawing room to enjoy tunes and songs by Burns and his contemporaries, with airs, jigs and reels on violin, viola, cello and piano.

Then to the dining room for the Selkirk grace and to address the (vegan) haggis which will be piped in by Ashley’s finest piper. Enjoy a delicious plant-based meal with our modern vegan homage to the traditional Burns night supper. A delicious bright green leek and watercress soup followed by vegan haggis with tatties and neeps and a bowl of raspberry cranachan to finish, plus a dram of whisky to toast the haggis. Lighter and leaner but still full of traditional Scottish flavours. We dine on large shared tables and warmly welcome solo diners to join us to make new friends and acquaintances!

When the tables are cleared, we will learn/remember the words to Auld Lang Syne (properly) and have a great sing along to end the evening!
