One kit serves two people. Use our quantities table and hosting guide to plan a Burns Supper for two, ten or twenty guests, including mixed-kit orders.
Planning a Burns Supper for friends or family is easier when the portions are clear. With our Burns Supper Dine-In meal kits, the rule is simple: one kit serves two people. For ten guests, order five kits.
This guide covers quantities, choosing a menu and getting the table ready, whether you are arranging dinner for two or a larger gathering at home.
Divide your guest count by two. If the result is not a whole number, round up to the next kit. For example, five guests need three kits, providing portions for six. Order the quantity of complete kits you need using the product page or the quantity box on the Burns Supper shop page.

The quantities above apply to all three meal-kit styles. The listed pack contents are per kit, so increasing the quantity increases the entire selection.
The classic Burns Supper Dine-In starts with Cock-a-leekie soup. The Smoked Salmon & Pâté meal kit adds smoked salmon and salmon pâté and also includes soup. The Venison, Cured Beef & Chicken Liver Pâté meal kit offers a sharing starter of Great Glen smoked venison, cured beef and chicken liver pâté, with oatcakes and red onion chutney, followed by Baxters Cock-a-leekie Soup.
All three bring together Macsween haggis, neeps, tatties, whisky cream sauce and Scottish sweet treats. For a closer comparison, read which Burns Supper meal kit should you choose?
Yes. You can order different styles for the same gathering. For example, two classic kits and three charcuterie kits provide ten portions in total. Plan the starters around the quantities you have ordered: that combination provides four classic-kit portions and six charcuterie-kit portions, rather than ten portions of every starter.
Ask guests about dietary requirements before ordering and check the individual product labels. These complete kits contain meat, and the smoked salmon kit also contains fish. Browse the wider Burns Supper shop if you are choosing individual items for different requirements.
Begin with soup for the classic kit, or the salmon or charcuterie starter followed by soup for the other two kits. Then bring out the haggis with neeps, tatties and whisky sauce. Finish with clootie dumpling and offer the tablet as a sweet treat. The kits include Irn-Bru and tartan napkins; any wine, extra drinks, bread or serving props shown in photographs are separate unless specifically listed in the product contents.
Shop the Burns Supper meal kits and choose one kit for every two guests. Check each product page for the exact contents and current availability.
