The Thistle Kitchen

Such a great find, home made gluten free food cooked from scratch. My husband is coeliac and he had no trouble whatsoever with anything from here. Friendly staff.

We had macaroni cheese, lasagne and Scottish breakfast.

I’m a coeliac and solo traveler. Karen made me feel at home. Had great knowledge of coeliac and gluten-free as her husband suffers with the same thing! I’ve decided to eat here for the rest of my trip. The food is delicious recently price great portion and I know I’m not gonna get ill eating it. When ever I travel I find it hard with eating out for obvious reasons, mainly to do with the language barrier. Nice to find a place like this where I don’t have to worry about the food I’m eating. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful full gluten free breakfast today (GF sausages, black pudding, bacon, fried egg took other options with there homemade potato scones,etc) staff were very knowledgeable as I was told the owner is coeliac. They have a separate gluten free fryer and preparation area. Will definitely be back to try from their extensive GF menu.

How do you get so much choice from such s small kitchen. Separate fryer for GF says it all about how seriously they take cross-contamination. Food is cooked to order, and is good quality. Friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommended.

I was recommended to come here by somewhere else that did not accommodate to gluten free food. I have coeliac disease. The chef was really helpful he went through exactly what was and was not gluten free and the meal was really enjoyable. Yesterday I had macaroni cheese and today I had chilli con carne. He even came out to tell me that he wouldn’t suggest I have the chips today as it wouldn’t be in the gluten free specific fryer. They also have a few different gluten free lagers. The owner is also coeliac and therefore the service provided for coeliac is very high standards. Excellent service would highly recommend

Thank you for your kind review. We now have dedicated cooking facilities and preparation area and a full Menu clearly marked with our GF Options. Hopefully you will come back some day and give us a try. Once again Thank you for your review.

The gluten free macaroni was amazing 👌 The owner's husband was recently diagnosed coeliac so she's very knowledgeable and planning a separate gluten free menu soon. A warm welcome and delicious food awaits all at the Thistle Kitchen. So glad I stopped by.
