Burns Suppers have existed for over 200 years in celebration of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. The Ultimate Burns Supper Book highlights the fun in organising a Burns Supper., whether you are a host or a guest.

The book includes a complete run through of what to expect on the night, with a list of courses and speeches, what to wear, how to prepare and present speeches, common Burns Supper questions (and answers!), Burn’s greatest poems, including a full English verse translation of the ‘Address to a Haggis’, and answers to your worries about eating haggis and drinking whisky.
