Forfar firm keeping Burns Suppers affordable

With inflation sitting at over 9%, the traditional Burns Supper is set to cost consumers more this year, impacting everything from the cost of essential ingredients to energy to cook Scotland’s most famous meal.

But during January, ready meal company McIntosh’s popular haggis meal will be available for the special price of £1.25 from leading retailers. At this cost, a family of four can enjoy a Burns Supper for less than a fiver or a single person can ‘hae meat’ and eat for less than a standard single bus fare in Scotland.

Ready to eat after just four and a half minutes in the microwave, McIntosh believes theirs is one of the cheapest, fastest and most energy-efficient chilled Burns Suppers around.

Julie Nisbet, managing director, said: “With inflation skyrocketing at over nine per cent, McIntosh wanted to ensure as many families as possible can enjoy a traditional Burns Supper and take part in the annual celebration of our beloved bard, Rabbie Burns. You won’t find a cheaper, faster, tastier and more energy-efficient chilled haggis supper this January.”
