The event was held at The Hawthorns retirement complex to celebrate the life of Scottish poet Robert Burns.
The complex's executive chef, Antony Potter, kicked off the celebrations, carrying in the haggis before it was taken to the stage and the Ode to the Haggis, written by Burns, was given.
In true Scottish style residents and guests of The Hawthorns, some of whom are Scots, raised a toast with a wee dram of Whisky before they settle down to supper.
The Somernotes male voice choir from North Somerset provided the after supper entertainment with a repertoire containing Scottish Songs.
Hawthorns facility manager, Goldie Tripney, said: "The Burns Night Supper was a great way for people to taste some classic Scottish food and have a good time with friends.
"We will be hosting a series of events this year that celebrate food and culture from around the world."
