From the heart of the hippest borough in all the world: A Burns Night Supper in passionate celebration of the late great orator, poet, songster and break dancing free radical Robert Burns.

Set in the spectacular ecclesiastical colosseum that is St. John’s at Hackney, fair lassies will have odes read in their honour, overstuffed steaming haggis will be piped, and a sumptuous menu will be served on banqueting tables as long as the eye can see.

This year the enormous balcony is open for a dedicated whiskey bar, Burns poetry corner, face-painting and a multitude of toasts of fine scotch raised to the great man…. and in true Burns style the post-dinner clearing of the tables will see rafters and tombstones be shaken to the thundersome stomp of a feast of feet ceilidhing in raucous synchronicity to the uplifting virtuoso sounds of the Ceilidh Liberation Front, London’s most awesomeist and raucousist ceilidh ensemble. 

Guests are encouraged to wear traditional Scottish attire, underpants optional....
