Thistles Coffee Shop Catering

My first visit to this restaurant was excellent. The Afternoon Tea was delightful and the staff were wonderful. The cafe was very clean and the staff were compliant with all COVID regulations. I will definitely be returning.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to Bobby and Marion Grindlay for a fantastic afternoon tea with lentil soup. We celebrated our daughter's 30th Birthday in their garden, where Bobby prepared individual platters for 6 people. The platters were filled with delicious sandwiches, sausage rolls, chicken satays, haggis bon bons with dip, crisps, and a variety of cakes (cream scones, meringues, strawberry tarts, eclairs, and their famous tablet). It was definitely worth the money. We have never been disappointed with the meals, afternoon teas, snacks, or barbecues prepared by Bobby, Marion, and their staff over the years. Best of luck with your reopening and we look forward to visiting again soon.

I want to thank you once again for a wonderful lunch experience. Everything was perfect as usual. My husband Jim absolutely loved his chicken broth, and I enjoyed my usual delicious panini. It's always a pleasure to dine here, and despite the changing government regulations, everything was handled with care and a smile. I would highly recommend stopping by for a lovely lunch or breakfast. The restaurant is conveniently located near the bus stop going to Livingston or across the street if you are coming from there. It seems like all buses stop in West Calder, making it a convenient location for everyone. We will definitely be back again soon.

Very enjoyable lunch. Interesting menu options. Delicious chicken broth and panini. Felt safe and comfortable.

Popped into Thistle’s for lunch on Mon31st. The Covid hygene is excellent with masks required until seated,hand sanitizers mandatory and effective screening between tables which are thoroughly cleaned by staff. My wife I felt very safe dining there and used their phone app for fest and trace data. The food is always freshly prepared and my Tuna Melt baguette was very tasty and was served with a nice side salad, homemade coleslaw crisps. My wife had her usual applewood smoked cheese toastie. which she loves. Washed down with two Bailey,s cream Lattés. Alas Bobby’s famous merengues we’re finished but this allowed us to sample a scrumptious Munchies cheesecake full of flavour light as a feather! Can’t wait to return to sample more goodies from the extensive menu. PS : Thanks to staff for the usual attentive service.
