BURNS NIGHT CELEBRATIONS AT SCARBOROUGH HALL

Scarborough Hall care home in Scarborough prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper as they hosted their bespoke monthly themed dining experience to the tune of bagpipes, the fun continued throughout the day.

Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities including craft clubs and creative discussions; The residents loved chatting about holidays in Scotland, sharing memories and experiences, this was a fantastic way to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding race’ – the haggis.

General Manager, Charlotte Nurse, at Scarborough Hall, thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an evening steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of Scotch whisky tasting and reading a selection of Burns’ poems

She said: “Burns Night is always a fantastic event at Scarborough Hall, it’s so important to continue these traditions. Our residents enjoyed a hearty meal of Cock a Leek soup, Balmoral Chicken or Mince and Tatties served with bashed neeps and broccoli followed by Raspberry Cranachan or Clootie Dumpling and Whiskey Custard all prepared by our stellar Chef, Paul. We also had great fun discovering how much, or is some cases how little, we knew about Scotland with our brilliant Scottish quiz.”

Frank, resident of Scarborough Hall said: “I enjoyed acting out the part of the whisky-bearer and asking everyone to raise a dram to toast the haggis. Burns Night is always a brilliant night here.”
