Santa Claus darted in and out among the revelers at the Monadnock at Home Holiday Party on Sunday. The pictures are sort of grainy, which always seems the case with Santa. He’s so mysterious. But laughing all the way!

Tonight is Scottish night! We are serving Haggis for supper, with tatties (mashed potatoes) and neeps (mashed turnips). For starters Potato and Kale soup and for dessert Shortbread.

Why Haggis? Because we like haggis. Because we are a country inn with country cooking sensibilities. We like the Scots. And we believe in finishing the job where the whole animal is concerned.

And, haggis is the one food we know of that comes with a side order of sctoch whiskey (if you’re over 21).

5:30 PM – 7:00 PM . Reservations are encouraged. $16.50 prix fixe (excluding beverage, tax and gratuity).
