Burns Night Triumph for West Cork

January 27th, 2012 by West Cork Hotel Ireland

A sell out event and enjoyed by all who attended, the spirit of Rabbie Burns kindled a flame in Skibbereen on Wednesday 25th January as The West Cork Hotel and West Cork Food hosted the first West Cork Burns Supper.

The event exceeded our expectations that due to the interest in the event, Neil had to order more supplies of Haggis a few days before and we all breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived on the afternoon of event!

The event did not only celebrate Scotland and Robert Burns, but it celebrated the fantastic produce available in West Cork and guests were served a seven course meal which married West Cork produce into a traditional Scottish meal including, of course, ‘a wee dram’.

The main dish of haggis was ceremonially brought in held aloft by our very own Head Chef Dean Diplock and piped in by bagpiper Michael Hurley in the traditional manner. During the meal there were poetry recitals and afterwards guests were treated to a music session in the West Cork Hotel bar in Skibbereen.

All in all a great night was had and planning for 2013 is already under way as guests on the night were asking if they could book for next year!

West Cork Hotel Burns Supper

January 13th, 2012 by West Cork Hotel Ireland

On Wednesday 25th January, the first ever West Cork Burns Supper will take place at The West Cork Hotel.  A celebration of Scotland’s most famous bard – Rabbie Burns – and our wider, shared Celtic Culture, this event will be open not only to Scottish ex-pats but to all local West Cork residents intrigued by this celebration.

Starting from 7pm, with dinner served at 7:30pm, the West Cork Burns Supper is sure to be a great night and a great way to banish the January blues; and at only €30 per person for your 5 course menu, entertainment and “a wee dram” this is one event you will not want to miss!

The menu for this event will use some of Sally Barns internationally-acclaimed produce from the Woodcock Smokery in West Cork, whilst the Haggis will be specially flown in from the famous McSween’s of Edinburgh, a company that has been making award-winning haggis for over 50 years.

Entertainment will be provided by Musician Ronnie Costly, who will sing a selection of famous Burns songs as well as his own songs about Scotland, and there will also be recitals of Burns Poetry. The evening will end with a session in our pub in Skibbereen the Ilen Bar to which all are very welcome.

The West Cork Burns Supper is run in conjunction with West Cork Food, the local organisation of artisan food producers and providers, is as much to do with showing the diversity of the unbelievably good West Cork Produce as it is a celebration of Scottish and Celtic culture, but we hope that the event will grow and become an annual event in the calendar and become one of the must do things to do in West Cork.
