The Cascade Room To Celebrate Robbie Burns Day With Pipes, Whisky, Haggis

The-Cascade-Room

Robbie Burns Day is coming up fast (Monday, Jan. 25th) and for the 7th year in a row The Cascade Room on Main Street is marking the occasion with a Scottish-inspired evening that includes bagpipes, whisky, haggis, deep-fried Mars bars, and more. Details below:

The celebration will kick off at 6 pm on January 25, with the ‘piping of the haggis,’ which will see local bagpiper Matt Dolan pipe in the haggis with The Cascade Company’s very own Dougie Stewart (bartender from El Camino’s) addressing the Haggis.

A special three-course dinner menu will be on offer throughout the evening: Starter – Cock-a-Leekie Soup; Main – Traditional Haggis with ‘Neeps an’ Tatties; and for dessert — a Deep Fried Mars Bar. The menu is priced at $29 (a la carte available as well).

The evening will feature live Celtic music, perfect for raising a glass from the bar — which will be offering specials from the evening’s sponsor, Glenlivet, along with a cask of Scotch Ale from Main Street Brewing.

Guests are welcome on a first come, first served basis.

The Cascade Room is located at 2616 Main Street in Mt. Pleasant.

  1. You need to have a heavy Celtic custard and pudding dessert. And don’ t forget the shot of whiskey for the piper when he finishes piping in the Haggis!
