Reservations required. $18.95 a plate. Includes one complimentary tasting of quaffing scotch with dinner and: cock-a-leekie soup, haggis warm reeking, rich wi' champit tatties, bashed neeps, a meat medley of lamb, Scottish bangers & steak, typsy laird (sherry trifle) and a tassie o' coffee. For non-haggis-eaters, other fare will be served: sizzling servings of 'neeps and tatties' (turnips and potatoes), Scottish shortbreads, oatcakes with cheese and other authentic dishes.
Wherever Burns Night is observed, the steaming haggis is served with ceremonial splendor, carried triumphantly to the table as a bagpiper plays a rousing tune and the cook follows behind, wielding a pair of whiskey bottles crossed before her like swords. The platter is placed before the host who recites Burns' famous poem To A Haggis. Then he pulls a knife and slashes open the haggis. The host gives a short speech on Burns, known as the Immortal Memory Speech. Once the speeches are complete the evening continues with songs and poems written by Burns. Favourites include Tam O'Shanter, Address To The Unco Guid, To A Mouse, and Holy Willie's Prayer. The evening ends with the company standing, linking hands and singing one of Robbie’s most famous works, Auld Lang Syne.
The Inn at Arrowhead is a unique four seasons Colorado mountain lodge/Bed & Breakfast with a cozy fireside Irish pub called Casey's and dining area right downstairs from your room. The Inn offers a B&B experience with all the amenities of a cozy Rocky Mountain resort. We are located high in the San Juan Mountains, midway between Telluride and Crested Butte, just a few miles from Black Canyon National Park.
