CANCELLED - A Grand Burns Night Supper with James Cosmo and Christian Seely

SADLY, WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS EVENT DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

Please accept our apologies.

Where better than Boisdale Canary Wharf (generally accepted as Scotland’s unofficial embassy to London) in which to enjoy Burns Night and who better to enjoy it with than that other great Scot, the actor, raconteur, whisky lover and all-round good egg, James Cosmo?

Hot foot from hosting one of his inimitable ‘fireside’ evenings in the library of our private members’ club the night before, JC will introduce his very own premium Storyman whisky before addressing the haggis in traditional style. And if that wasn’t enough, guests will wash down their superb Boisdale Burns Night feast with Lions de Suduiraut 2024, Château Pichon Baron 2017 and 2016 introduced by MD of AXA Millésimes, owner of Château Pichon Baron, Christian Seely himself and followed by more whiskies from Ardbeg.

There will be a maximum of 30 people on one long table in The Gallery private dining room - do join us!
