The event is taking place on Saturday 28^th January 2023 at Cadbury House in Congresbury where guests will not only be able to tuck into some delicious Haggis, neeps and tatties but enjoy the sounds of a pipe band and drummers which will give the evening a true Scottish flavour.

Burns is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and his birthday, which is on 25^th, is traditionally celebrated worldwide in late January.

The evening at Cadbury House, which is raising money for the Guide Dogs for the Blind, will follow many of the traditions that has made Burns Night such an important date on the Scottish calendar.

After grace the supper will start with a traditional Scottish broth. This will be followed by the arrival of the haggis which will be brought in on a large plate by the head chef supported by the pipers.

The cutting of the haggis will be accompanied by Burns' famous poem, Address to a Haggis with plenty of wee drams to help the proceedings go smoothly!

For starters there’s a parsnip and Scottish heather honey soup with nutmeg cream.

Guests will then tuck into their haggis, neeps and tatties followed by the main course which includes slow cooked feather blade of beef with dauphinoise potato, braised red cabbage, chantenay carrots and red wine jus. There is also a vegetarian option in the form of a vegetable wellington and wild mushrooms fricassée.

The meal will be finished off with cranachan a traditional Scottish dessert which includes cream, fresh raspberries Scottish oats and whisky!

Brady Smith, general manager said: “Burns suppers are great occasions. There are lots of traditions and we hope to hold true to many of these during our own Burns night.

“To have a piper band and drummers on hand will make the evening a spectacular affair and we of course want as many guests to wear kilts.”
