Boisdale

For homesick Scots and curious Sassenachs who can’t get north of the border for Burns Night, there’s only one place to address the haggis and that’s at Boisdale, Scotland’s unofficial embassy in London. Traditional Burns Night Dinner will be served at both Boisdale sites: Belgravia and Canary Wharf venues from January 24th onwards. Be transported deep into the Scottish Highlands with a resplendent feast, including Orkney salmon, Scot­tish pheas­ant and Aberdeen­shire dry-aged beef fil­let, and of course the star attrac­tion, Dum­friesshire Black­face haggis with bashed neeps & tatties and served with a noggin of whisky. Whiskey will flow, and there will be a piper and an address to the haggis as well. Each night will feature live music and entertainment. Tickets from £79.
