The Hive is celebrating Burns Night with a special Scottish selection of dishes for both Breakfast and Lunch.
Burns Night or Nicht is a celebration of the life and poetry of Robert Burns, one of Scotland most famous writers and poets, who’s birthday falls on January 25th.
We will be offering a special selection of Scottish dishes on the day and we hope you’ll join us for either breakfast or lunch and help celebrate this fun day.
The Burns Breakfast menu:
- Neeps and tatties, poached egg and watercress

Lunch menu will include:

- Loch Fyne kippers, poached egg, served with herbed new potatoes
Breakfast is from 10am – 11.45am
Lunch will be from 12 noon – 2pm.
Traditional Scottish dress and poetry reading are optional and with the South West winds blowing across the sea, you may want to wear something a little warmer and less drafty than a kilt.
We look forward to seeing you and to get you in the spirit, here is one of Robbie’s most famous poems:
My Love is like a Red, Red, Rose
O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
