The second cut -
Burns night
Episode 9 | 29th January | £35pp
​
January calls for food with depth. For warmth. For generosity. For dishes built slowly, with intention.
​
This Burns Night Edition of The Second Cut draws on the spirit of winter cooking in Scotland — not as ceremony or spectacle, but as craft. A menu shaped by thrift, fire, and tradition, where familiar flavours are treated with care and time, and nothing is wasted.
​
Expect comforting broths, rich slow-cooked cuts, and quietly bold dishes that honour the whole animal and the season it comes from. Scottish staples appear not as novelty, but as grounding: barley, haggis, neeps, oats, smoke, and whisky — woven into a six-course tasting menu designed to feed both body and mood.
​
As with every Second Cut, this is food that values technique over luxury, and flavour over flash. A reminder that some of the most satisfying meals come not from extravagance, but from attention — from doing simple things properly.
​
Served in the warmth of Restaurant 1840, this is an evening for winter appetites, slow conversation, and being looked after.
​
A vegetarian alternative is available with the same care and intent
