How Much Haggis Will I Need?
If the haggis is to be served as a main course, we recommend 6-8oz (150-200g) per person, and 4oz (100g) if served as a starter.
A Macsween of Edinburgh ceremonial or chieftain haggis should be ordered for the top table and Address to the Haggis ceremony.
Macsween of Edinburgh catering packs of haggis are the easiest way to serve large groups, or you may wish to consider our miniature starter sizes of haggis.
For additional recipes and cooking instructions, see the Haggis Recipes section.
