  • positive review  Would highly recommend! The food ordered (from the entertainers packages) was to celebrate our small wedding with our guests. We were all amazed by presentation and how good the food tasted. Nick was great, when he dropped the food off he took the time to explain what each box of food was and what needed to be heated. We are glad we choose Thistle in the woods.

  • positive review  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.

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!

Nick, Sam, Will & Libby
