I was so happy to have organised Thistle in the Woods to cater for my 50th birthday celebration. The whole process was so easy, from deciding on the menu through to the delivery. The presentation was fabulous, but also the food was just divine! Our guest were raving about the food all afternoon, from the grazing box right through to the sweets box.

I ordered two Easter boxes as gifts and they were so well received. Delivery was on time, gluten free was no problem and the recipients keep telling me how good they are! Thank you for making me look good. :)

Highly recommend this lovely family run business. Nothing was too much trouble. A Delicious treat box was delivered to my daughter living on the Sunny Coast. I’m in the UK so having a friendly reliable professional caterer that could deliver was very reassuring. Thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Leaving a review on behalf of Donna & Family. Absolutely blown away by the quality, taste and uniqueness of the food we had delivered to our holiday home. It was absolutely perfect and made our stay so much easier. We ordered a grazing platter, mini burgers, sweets box & a full dinner as well as a birthday cake all were as good a quality as the next. Nick & Sam were easy to work with and their customer service was exceptional. Thanks so much guys.

On behalf of my husband and I we would like to say a huge thankyou for creating our beautiful wedding cake. It not only looked amazing it was absolutely delicious. The team was extremely friendly, easy to contact and very professional. We would highly recommend Thistle in the woods for any upcoming celebrations. We look forward to order more cake in the near future, from Mr and Mrs Rice.

The Thistle in the Woods Story

Thistle in the Woods Family with Personality

How did Thistle in the Woods come about?

The Scotch Thistle, which adorns our inherited house name plate “Cadzow”, is our emblem, incidentally located in Palmwoods, Sunshine Coast, QLD (the “Woods”)

The concept for our business is born from two chefs who were ready to explore their own food styles, and inject their personalities into the business.

And being blessed with so many innovative small producers of exceptional products and services on the Sunshine Coast, showcasing these is one of our passions!
