Haggis in Canada: Where to Buy It and What to Put Beside It
Looking for haggis in Canada? Order Stahly Scottish Style Haggis for delivery across the country, or find our own haggis balls and slices through our Halifax shop. The first decision is where you need it to go. The neeps and tatties can come next.
This guide explains the options at The Great British Shop, the difference between a tin and our local haggis, and what to ask if you are feeding a room rather than a kitchen table.

Where to buy canned haggis in Canada
We stock Stahly Quality Foods Scottish Style Haggis, a shelf-stable tin that ships from our Halifax shop to Canadian delivery addresses. It is the option to choose when you want haggis delivered elsewhere in Canada.
The current price and availability are on the product page. Check those when ordering, along with the delivery information for your destination. A January supper is much more enjoyable when the food is organised before the week everyone else remembers Burns Night.
Follow the instructions on the tin for heating and storage.

Our own haggis, made here in Halifax
We make our Halifax haggis to an authentic recipe that is more than 60 years old. It was brought to Canada by a Scottish butcher. It is part of our own Halifax range, offered as haggis balls and slices.
A good haggis deserves its own supper.
From our Halifax range
For our local haggis, explore the Halifax meats freezer range or ask us about the format and quantity you need. Current availability can change, so it is worth getting in touch if you are planning a particular meal or making a special trip.
For Canadian delivery, choose the Stahly tin above. Our own haggis balls and slices are available from the Halifax shop.
Tins, balls and slices: which should I choose?
A tin for delivery
Choose Stahly when you want a shelf-stable product sent to a Canadian address. It is a practical way to arrange haggis for a Burns supper at home without needing the Halifax freezer range to travel with it.
Our own balls or slices for a local supper
We offer haggis balls and slices in Halifax. Tell us how you want to serve the meal, and we can help you choose the format and quantity.
A larger order for your guests
For a Legion supper, hotel menu or event, talk to us before building the shopping list. Your guest count, portion plans, location and date all matter more than picking a number of packs from a photograph. We can discuss the available haggis formats and supply arrangements with you.
What does haggis taste like, and what goes with it?
Haggis is a savoury Scottish dish built around meat, oats and seasoning. Think warming flavour and an oaty texture, rather than a sweet pudding. Recipes differ, so the label on the particular product is the place for ingredients and allergen information.
The classic plate is haggis, neeps and tatties. Neeps are mashed swede, commonly called rutabaga in Canada; tatties are potatoes. Keep the mash how you like it and let the haggis be the bit everyone talks about.
Haggis is closely associated with Burns Night, but it does not have a rule restricting it to one Monday in January. For the annual occasion, see our Burns supper guide, with a menu, running order and host’s checklist.
Haggis for Burns Night in Canada
Burns Night marks Robert Burns’ birthday on 25 January. In 2027 it falls on a Monday, which is a very good excuse to make a weekday supper more interesting.
A traditional supper gives the haggis a ceremonial arrival and a reading of Address to a Haggis. At home you can keep it simple: get the meal together, ask someone to read a little Burns, and give everyone time to enjoy it. The poem should not have to compete with someone draining the potatoes.
Our Burns Night food collection brings together the tinned haggis and Scottish groceries for the occasion, including Irn-Bru, oats, biscuits and tea. The main grid shows the current range; individual product pages carry their own availability and dispatch information.
