Edinburgh food hall Bonnie & Wild to host 'Burns Feast'

Edinburgh Food Hall Bonnie & Wild is going all-out for a week of Robert Burns-inspired dining, dancing and drinking.

The six-day celebration will conclude in a traditional Scottish ceilidh at the popular Food Hall venue on Thursday, 30 January, where up to 400 guests will be encouraged to take part in the likes of the Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergent and an Orcadian Strip the Willow to the sound of traditional Scottish music from the Charlie Kirkpatrick trio.

A feast of Scottish fare

The food hall, which is home to 13 independent Scottish kitchens and specialist retailers, will offer Burns specials from Saturday 25 through to Thursday, 30 January, including a chip shop-style haggis supper from Gary Maclean’s Creel Caught, haggis pizza from East PIZZA, and a haggis-laden burger from El Perro Negro – two-time National Burger Award winner and finalist of the upcoming National Burger Awards 2025.

A whisky-fused gelato from Joelato will also be available, along with a fusion of Sri Lankan and Scottish cuisine from Kochchi, which is bringing back its popular Haggis kotthu, made using traditional haggis, flatbread, vegetables, curry sauce and Sri Lankan spices.

"So much of Burns's poetry and song was about food and drink, good company and good cheer, so it's the perfect reason for all of us within Bonnie & Wild's Scottish marketplace to show off the breadth and depth of Scottish fare on offer here," says Kate Russell, the food hall's general manager. "And if we can have a dram and a dance at the same time, then so much the better!"
