Could be the best meal out I?ve had this year, absolutely spot on. Definitely be makin a few return visits.
One thing tho, please find a way to add gratuity to the bill when it comes time to pay as the service was brilliant ?

Full disclosure, this review isn?t based on a single visit, rather it?s informed by numerous visits since The Thistle reopened.
Perhaps as such makes it arguably better / more informed as a result.
What I?m trying to emphasise is the consistency in terms of quality and service that I?ve fortunately become accustomed to.
I, along with the help of those I?ve enjoyed a meal with, have systemically worked our way through the menu - what a pleasure it has been.
It?s not 5 star dining, nor should there be an expectation of such, what it is though is a significant step up from normal pub food.
Some highlights have been, for Starters: Creamy Garlic Mushrooms, Scotch Egg and Soup of the Day.
For Mains: Cumberland Sausage, Lasagna, Gammon Chop, the Mixed Grill, Buttermilk Chicken Burger and not forgetting the impressive Thistle Burger which is fast becoming a favourite from what I?ve seen.
In the interests of transparency - I have not sampled any Desserts, mainly because I don?t routinely have a third course.
For a snack / lunch, the Triple Stack Club and Warm Charred Steak sandwiches are first class, especially when accompanied by the aforementioned soup or chips / fries.
A rarity, the chefs are visible and engage with diners (where demand / time constraints allow), a rarity and perhaps unique. Generically there?s a proactivity with staff to obtain feedback, which so far has been unanimously positive.
What supplements the above, and binds it all together is the service and a quality pint!
When the sun shines (unfortunately a rarity in Summer 2024) there?s an extensive outdoor seating - we can but hope that it?ll be able to be fully utilised before ?summer? turns to autumn.

Food & drinks: We were looking for a place that is dog friendly. We found this one on our way, an inconspicuous looking place with fantastic food inside. Great food, fantastic service. I really recommend this place

We had such a nice dinner here, that we came 2 nights in a row. Great food and service. A bonus for serving food later than many other places (husband was at Troon for the golf, so we needed something serving later than 830pm).
Friendly, quick service. A real find in this area.
Food & drinks: Good choice pub classics and more, well presented. The sausage and mash was delicious , especially the selection of vegetables.

Just stopped for a meal and a couple of drinks. Staff were friendly, food was really lush and can?t fault it. All at a good price too, would highly recommend.

Looking for a pub that served food on a Monday evening and this was only one in area - friendly staff - basic reasonable priced menu - quick service - food good and hot - quite a few other people in obviously getting popular -so happy all round

Had a lovely meal and staff were so friendly . The owner of the restaurant was lovely . The minute we went in she was attentive , friendly . My grandson (6) was given crayons and paper and enjoyed chatting to her . Will definitely be back . Very warm and inviting . Had steak night deal . 2 rump steaks and a bottle of wine for £30 was a great deal . Presentation and taste was perfection .
