From Drinking Crates to Fine Dining Plates

A smoky tale, a fierce warrior, earthquakes, and short stories. The Thistle Inn has a history that oozes through the walls, if only they could talk.

Teaming up with {Suite} Gallery, you can experience the stories of Wellington’s yesteryear through Ans Westra’s photography from the archives as you settle in for an indulgent four-course, long lunch. Bringing history, fine food, and photography altogether in Wellington's most iconic pub.

With a menu crafted from local produce, you can expect Kiwi dishes with a modern Thistle twist. Courses are perfectly paired with a range of boutique wines from Stad_ko Wines in Martinborough.

From drinking crates in sawdust to the current-day white linen tablecloths and fine food, The Thistle has been through it all.
