Burns Night at Doubletree By Hilton Cadbury House on Saturday 19th January 2019
Posted on: 14 Jan 2019Haggis, neeps and tatties. Kilts. Whisky. It can only mean one thing: January and that every-popular rambunctious roister of a celebration that is Burns Night, and Hilton Cadbury House will be hosting its own suitably exuberant festivities on Saturday 19th January 2019.OK, so Scots poet Robert Burns was actually born on 25th January (1759, hardcore fact fans), but tradition dictates its celebrated before, on, after, or just generally around the great wordsmith's birthday. Which is suitably excellent for anyone up for merry celebrations remembering this influential man of letters.
It'll all kick off with a traditional Scottish broth before a haggis is brought in on an impressively-sized plate accompanied by the head chef and a gaggle of fine pipers.
Burns' famous poem Address to a Haggis will be read as the famous Scottish foodstuff is sliced along with a wee dram, after which you can feast on haggis, neeps and tatties and the main course which will include braised featherblade, pomme fondant, buttered kale and carrot spaghetti with red wine jus.
Rounded off with that traditional Scottish dessert, cranachan (a heady, delicious combo of cream, fresh raspberries, Scottish oats and whisky), this might be one of many Burn Night celebrations taking place across the city but is certainly one of the most impressive and one of the highlights of the venue's calendar.
It's a black tie gig and kilts are encouraged though optional. It runs from 9pm to 1am and costs £35 per person, and you can reserve your place here.
