Celebrations of the life of the famous Scot, Robbie Burns, will centre around a feast of a menu packed with traditional Scottish favourites including Scotch broth with farmhouse bread and butter; haggis, neeps and tatties; and pulled lamb ‘Crofters’ pie topped with haggis mash – all finished off with a traditional Cranachan, made with whipped cream, honey, raspberries, toasted oats and a dash of whisky.
Guests will also be treated to a complimentary dram of the new Glenfiddich IPA whisky, to help toast to the man of the moment.
Those after even more of a tartan-fuelled treat can add on a tailored whisky flight, featuring Laphroaig 10yr, Auchentoshan 12yr and The Macallan Gold.
