burns_blueCelebrate Robbie Burns Birthday in style at Adelaide's premier Scottish Pub, the Rob Roy Hotel. In true style, the City of Adelaide Pipe Band is holding a Burns Supper to remember the life of Scotland's national poet. Join the Band on the 30th of January for a night of food, music and frivolities starting at 7:30pm. Enjoy a fun Ceilidh atmosphere with performances by the City of Adelaide Pipe Band, Highland Dancers and recitals of Burns' best poetry, and for those that like to get involved there will be a chance for you to dance too!

But most importantly, a Burns Supper would not be complete without the traditional Scottish fare of Cock-a-Leekie Soup and Haggis with Neeps and Tatties, and will be followed by a Cheeseboard, Tea & Coffee. We promise you the food will not dissapoint!

Lastly, for those that enjoy a wee dram (or three), the Streah Malt Whisky Club will be running a tasting session on the night for an additional cost.

Tickets are $55 per person. To secure your ticket contact the Rob Roy Hotel on (08) 8223 5391. A $20 deposit is required. Please hurry as ticket numbers are limited!
