Burns Night 2025 with guest Chef Ekram Rai

Whisky & Alement invites you to join us for a night of Scottish traditions and celebrate the poet and lyricist, Robert Burns. 

We'll be raising many a glass to The Bard with plenty of traditional (and not so traditional) Scottish canapes prepared by guest chef Ekram Sai. The traditional evening would not be complete without a line-up of spectacular single malts from our cellar and that of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. The AC will be cranking to replicate the Scottish climate as best we can, so come in out of the heat and get your dose of Scottish Culture with us this Burns Night! 

Your kilted host Julian White will put his best foot forward reciting some poetry from The Bard and keep the merriment rolling throughout the night with the help of co-host, Lachlan Watt.
