A popular town centre pub is celebrating Burns Night this week with a number of special food and drinks offers available.

The Ward Jackson, in Church Square, Hartlepool, is marking the life and work of Scottish poet Robert Burns by hosting a seven-day food and drink event from Wednesday, January 21, to Tuesday, January 27, to mark Burns Night on Sunday, January 25.

Customers will be able to enjoy a range of traditional Scottish food and drinks to mark the occasion, including Scottish haggis, neeps and tatties and a Caledonian burger.

A Scottish beer, Auld Acquaintance, is also being served especially for the event.
