How Much Does It Cost To Attend?
How Much Does It Cost To Attend?
We don't charge admission for the supper; you pay only for the food and drink that you order from The Burren.
- Plan to pay The Burren directly upon arrival.
- NOTE: The sooner everyone has checked in and paid, the sooner we can begin!
- Please remember to tip The Burren staff when paying for your food and drink, tipping as you would for any large party dinner out.
- We shall pass the hat at the end of the evening, but this is to cover our special expenses, such as paying for the piper and the haggis. It is *not* meant to substitute for normal tipping.
What's a Burns Supper?
What's a Burns Supper?
"Every Burns Supper has its own special form and flavour, though there are probably more similarities than differences among these gastro-literary affairs. Individual tastes and talents will determine the character of your Burns Supper. Some celebrants may contribute the composition of original songs or poems; some may excel at giving toasts or reciting verse; while others may be captivating storytellers. A particular group of celebrants will, over time, develop a unique group character which will distinguish their Burns Supper celebration from every other."

How Is This Burns Supper Different from All Other Burns Suppers?
How Is This Burns Supper Different from All Other Burns Suppers?
The Greater Boston Community Burns Supper, held since January 2010, has matured over the years, and boasts its own unique character. While some might argue with our use of the word "matured", it can hardly be denied that our supper is different:
- It is organized and presented by the community, for the community.
- There is no cover and no prix fixe, attendees pay only for their own food and drink (please remember to tip).
- There is a vegetarian entree option.
- It features the world's only (to our knowledge) "kosher haggis", complete with its very own "Address to the Kishke".
- A Burns-themed pub sing follows the formal supper.
