If you were asked to list as many classic Scottish dishes as you could, what would come top? A random selection of Scots were asked the same question. All came out with the same answer – haggis, haggis and more haggis.

Yes, Scotland is a land of haggis lovers. Unsurprising, you might think. After all, it is not every dish that has its day. (Just try and host a Burns Supper around January 25 without serving a magnificent ceremonial haggis.)

So you cannot live in Scotland or travel around this country without discovering more about how haggis is made, and most importantly, how it tastes.

Our Make and Taste events are fun for all ages, full of banter as well as stories from history and folklore. Don’t just take our word for it, read what our customers say.

Warm homely welcome …

Had a warm homely welcome with a educational and funny history of the haggis. Lunch was excellent as well. Went home with a doggy bag.

A fun experience

A fun experience. Certainly unique. I run food tours across the whole of Scotland in my business ‘Tasting Scotland Gourmet Journeys & Events’ and know this is something both visitors and locals will love to do. Really delicious Haggis, Neeps and Tatties and a lovely demonstration of making the dish by Stephen. A concise insight into the history of Scotland’s national dish and current ways to incorporate into meals provides the perfect balance. Will recommend.

Fantastic experience!

Jean was wonderful and the haggis was superb. I expected a tasty lunch but the overall experience was way more fun and interactive than expected. Totally walkable distance from Balfron, for those without a car who might take the bus instead. 5 stars all the way and highly recommended!!

A really unique experience

A really unique experience, well executed by Lee and Stephen who were very knowledgeable. Being brought up in Scotland, I love eating haggis but I’d never actually seen it being made or knew what went into it. We left with a new found love for vegetarian haggis!
