Last night I attended McGugen's first Robbie Burns celebration. The evening consisted of a four course meal with beer and scotch pairings. I must say, I was a fan. I am by no means an aficionado, but I have had enough haggis to have sampled offerings that were too dry and tasted like sawdust and on the opposite spectrum, too mushy so that it had the consistency of baby food. McGugan's haggis was good! It had the right consistency and enough pepper to make it punchy without overpowering. I enjoyed the whisky sauce that accompanied it and the nippes and tatties were good too.
Since this was their virgin Burns night and they had a full house, the kitchen was maxed out. Our first course was slow to arrive, but the staff were very apologetic. After that, everything went smoothly. SO if they can cook for that crowd and have everything tasty and delivered efficiently, then I say a resounding aye to McGugen's! I will be back!
