Went here last night for a Robbie Burns Supper. This is the second time I've visited the Granite on this occasion and it did not disappoint. I'd say that the regular pub menu is not my fave and I'd give it a 3, but the Burns Supper is a 4.
For $60 taxes and grat included you get the following (and each course is piped in-- not forgetting the traditional addressing of the Haggis):
The most amazing volcano of hot cheesy herb bread. I had no idea that this was Scottish, but who gives a care, it's delish!!
The second course is a traditional Scotch Broth with mutton and pearl barley.
Followed by the beloved Haggis. I say 'beloved' because I think that I am actually in love with haggis. I totally might marry it. The dark ale served with this haggis is the most perfect beer and food pairing I've had to date. The Haggis brings out a lovely raw cocoa note in the beer.
Then is a smoked prime rib with neeps and tatties. The smoking of the prime rib adds lots of flavour and is a nice alternative to the roasted meat we've all had before.
And then the trifle... who doesn't love whipped cream, custard, fruit and cake soaked in booze? I'm not sure that they soaked this particular one in booze, but it was yummy.
I should mention that each course is served with a nice craft beer and the meal os topped off with a wee dram of scotch. I would have preferred this earlier to pour over my haggis as I'm not a fan of scotch, but it's always nice to be generous an play giveaway with your neighbour. Because I love it when someone does this for me.
Overall, a great event for a solid price if you like poetry, haggis and bagpipes. I do.
