Here are a few pictures of the hospitality staff from LOLA working on the bar and serving guests at last night’s Burns’ Night Extravaganza at Vinopolis.
Carolina and Piran from LOLA were also there to celebrate the life of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns’ Night in the Great Halls had everything that a traditional Burns’ Supper required, including haggis (traditional Scottish dish), Scotch Whisky and the recitation of Burns' poetry.
Guests were welcomed by a piper at the entrance. Then the traditional Selkirk Grace was said before LOLA event staff served the starter (Cock-a-Leekie soup) along with one of many 16 year old Scotch Whiskies. The piper played bagpipes and everyone stood and clapped as the chef brought in a haggis on a large dish. Address to the Haggis was recited and then our waiters served the main course. Carolina and Piran had haggis for the first time and they loved it! However Piran’s favourite was the dessert – clootie dumplings which were paired with a fine Glenfiddich 14 year old Whisky.
After coffee and another toast, this time with a Talisker Whisky, guests moved onto the dance floor as Ceilidh Music played. Burns’ Night at the Great Hall was very traditional to the very end as everyone sang Auld Lang Syne.
We had a blast last night thanks to the amazing hospitality of Vinopolis! We’d also like to thank our LOLA staff who did a fantastic job!
