There is plenty of music, food and dancing when the staff go out to celebrate Christmas.

Tha ceòl, biadh agus dannsa gu leòr a’ dol ’s an luchd-obrach a’ dol a-mach air splaoid na Nollaig. There is plenty of music, food and dancing when the staff go out to celebrate Christmas. 

Tha còrr agus deich thar fhichead bliadhna bho chuir bràithrean Ailean agus Eòghainn MacIlleathain taigh-fuine air bhonn ann am Beinn na Faoghla. Thairis air na bliadhnaichean tha iad air biadh a dheasachadh airson iomadach tachartas air feadh Uibhist, beag agus mòr. Gach là, tha a h-uile seòrsa cèic, bonnach, briosgaid agus aran air an sgaoileadh air feadh nan Eilean Siar, ach cuideachd air feadh Alba. 

Tha taigh-bìdh trang am measg nan seirbheisean a tha iad a’ tabhainn agus tha bhan bìdh aca cuideachd a bhios a’ toirt biadh teth gu tachartasan air feadh nan Eilean Siar, ach ciamar a tha an sgioba teaghlaich a’ cumail smachd air na tha sin aig an aon àm?
Anns a’ phrògram mu dheireadh san t-sreath, tha an sgioba trang a’ deasachadh cèicean agus biadh airson na Nollaig. Tha an teaghlach air cò-dhùnadh gu bheil iad a’ dol a reic an taigh-bìdh, agus tha ceòl, biadh agus dannsa gu leòr ann ’s an luchd-obrach a’ dol a-mach air splaoid na Nollaig. 

Brothers Allan and Ewen Maclean opened a bakery in Benbecula over 30 years ago. Throughout the decades they have prepared food for many large and small scale events in Uist. Each day, they send every type of cake, oatcake, biscuit and bread all over the Western Isles, but also to every corner of Scotland. 

Amongst the services they provide is a busy restaurant as well as a trailer which delivers hot food to events all over the islands, but how do the family team manage to juggle everything?

The team are busy preparing cakes and food for Christmas. The family have come to the decision that they are going to sell the restaurant, and there is plenty of music, food and dancing when the staff go out to celebrate the festive season.
