Robert Burns Supper
The Tavern at the Inn at Brunswick Station will celebrate the life and heritage of famed Scottish poet Robert Burns with a special dinner on January 25, 2013. The Robert Burns Supper begins with a reception at 6:00 p.m. in the Tavern, featuring traditional Scotch eggs: a deep-fried hardboiled egg that is first stuffed in sausage and rolled in breading.
The supper will feature a Scottish feast of Cock-a-leekie soup (chicken soup), Bubbly-Jock an’ trimmins (turkey and trimmings), Tipsy Laird (trifle) and more, before concluding with Cheese an’ Bisquits. Guests will enjoy the requisite introductions, toasts, and recitations, including the Ode to the Haggis complete with bagpipes and the ceremonial sword slicing, accompanied by a complimentary Scotch toast. The Tavern is known for its single malts menu and will feature stout specials in honor of the occasion.
The dinner is $35 per person, excluding beverages (with the exception of the Scotch toast to the haggis), tax and gratuity. For reservations, please call 207.837.6565. To learn more about The Tavern and the Inn, please visit www.innatbrunswickstation.com.
