The Burns supper is a beloved tradition for many Scots, and is often seen as a way to honour the rich cultural heritage of Scotland. The event typically starts with a reception, where guests can mingle and enjoy some delicious canapés. After this, the focus shifts to the main event - the dinner itself. The highlight of the evening is undoubtedly the Pipping in of the Haggis, a ceremony where our haggis made of lentils, walnuts and mushrooms, is brought in and traditionally sliced open with a ceremonial knife.

The 5-course dinner that follows is a true feast for the senses, with dishes such as “Cullen Skink” vegan cream chowder, then haggis served with "Neeps and Tatties" (turnips and potato) followed by “Typsy Laird” at Karlo, a VanAlstine White Scottish vegan trifle followed by a vegan cheese course.   Of course, no Scottish celebration would be complete without a rousing reading of some of Burns' most famous works.

As the night draws to a close, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy some coffee or tea. There will be a toast to the lassies and the singing of Ald Lang Syne and we’ll be passing a quaich, a traditional Scottish cup used to signify love, friendship and trust to enjoy our port-style wines, VanAlstine White and VanAlstine Red.  All in all, it promises to be a truly unforgettable evening filled with good food, good company, and a celebration of Scotland's rich cultural heritage.
