The Thistle Inn
08/07/2026
Before late licences, there was the lock-in.
When the doors officially shut, the real night was only just beginning.
Curtains were drawn. Doors were locked. Glasses were filled.
For one night only, we’re bringing that spirit back as part of Wellington On a Plate 🍽️
Join us for an evening that begins with drinks and canapés before the doors close and guests gather around one long table for a five-course shared feast, four flowing drinks, live music, and the kind of conversation that only happens when nobody’s in a hurry to leave.
A little indulgent.
A little rebellious.
Entirely unforgettable.
📍 Saturday 1 August
🥂 Five-course shared feast
🍷 Four drinks included
🎶 Live music
🎟️ $179 per person
