A Little Summer Break for Our Chef ❤️
From 12th June until 2nd July, The Thistle Restaurant will be closed while our wonderful chef, Atholl Pettinger, takes some well-deserved time off to move back to Kinross and, even more excitingly, marry the lovely Lucy.
We would like to wish Atholl and Lucy a lifetime of love, laughter, happiness, and unforgettable memories as they begin this new chapter together. We couldn't be happier for them and are delighted to celebrate such a special occasion.
While we'll certainly miss Atholl in the kitchen, we know he has some very important things to do! We can't wait to welcome him back on 2nd July, refreshed, newly married, and ready to cook up a storm once again.
We would also like to apologise for any inconvenience our temporary closure may cause and thank all of our customers for their understanding and continued support.
The good news is that The Muirs will remain open as usual throughout this period, and the bar at The Thistle will also remain open as normal, so you'll still be able to pop in and enjoy a drink with us.
Congratulations to Atholl and Lucy from everyone at The Thistle and The Muirs. We wish you both all the luck, love, and happiness in the world as you start your married life together. 🥂💕
See you again on 2nd July!
