The Menu

The price of dinner includes two drinks:  Brewhouse beer, Muse and Cave Ridge wines as well as softer drinks. A Haggis will, of course be on offer, but more conventional dinner fare will provided by Shaffer's will be certain to please any palette.


Our traditional buffet dinner will include:

• Cock a Leekie Soup
• Entree of Salmon or Lamb
• ‘Neeps and Tatties (mash potatoes and turnips)
• Cranochan, a traditional desert of cream, fruit, oats and whisky

Our entertainment program is still being planned.  The basic outline of the evening is dictated by 216 year old tradition, but will include inspirational readings of Burns' poetry, songs and music performed by local musicians, including Russ Kohrs on the Scottish bag pipes and Lee Scharf on fiddle.

Mìle fàilte!

A Thousand Welcomes to our 2019 celebration of the birth of Robert Burns.  We apologize but we're still working on the details.  We will post them here just as soon as possible.  In the meantime:  get your kilt out of mothballs, polish your clan badge and work up an appetite for what we confidently expect to be a tasty supper.

Celebrating Scotland

Discover a bit of Scotland in the heart of Woodstock on Sunday evening, January 27^th at the first annual Shenandoah Burns Night Celebration.  We will gather at the Woodstock Brewhouse to celebrate the life and works of the poet and song writer Robert Burns on the anniversary of his birth.  Also known as Rabbie Burns, the Bard of Ayrshire, the Ploughman Poet and various other names and epithets, his birth has become the unofficial national day of Scotland.  But more than just the man, Burns Night celebrates the spirit of the Scotts people around the world:  our roots, our journeys, and our enduring connection to the land of misty mountains.  But you don’t have to be born of the highlands - all are welcome.

This 216 year old celebration is structured around ancient traditions, but will feature an evening of good music, poetry, food, comradery, and perhaps just a wee dram of uisge beatha, Scotch Whisky.  Other potables will include the usual selection of Brewhouse beer, Muse and Cave Ridge wines as well as softer drinks.  A Haggis will, of course be on offer, but more conventional dinner fare will be certain to please any palette.

The evening is being hosted by Three Guid Frein (good friends) in association with the Valley Educational Center for the Creative Arts (VECCA), and all profits from ticket sales will go to that worthy organization. 

The menu, ticket prices, where to purchase tickets, and other details will be announced here over the coming weeks.  Ticket sales will begin on Saturday, December 15 at locations to be announced here.  Space is limited, so get them while they are available.
