A WETHERSPOONS pub in Barrow will be ramping up a January tradition by hosting a week-long celebration of the life and poetry of the Scottish poet Robert Burns.

The Furness Railway will be inviting customers to celebrate Burns Night over the seven-day revelry period from Monday 23 to Sunday January 29.

Customers will be able to enjoy some traditional Scottish food and drink to mark the occasion, including on Burns' Night itself (Wednesday 25 January).

The Wetherspoon pub will be serving two special meals - Scottish haggis, neeps and tatties, as well as a Caledonian Burger (two 3oz beef patties, with haggis, whisky sauce, served with chips and six onion rings).
