Some users experience an issue at checkout and can’t complete the order – if you have a problem please copy the contents of your basket and email us – cafe@thistledown.org.uk – and we can manually add your order

Our Mezze is all homemade and cooked from scratch – including our own spice blends, yoghurt & labneh, doughs, ferments and pickles! The earliest collection slot is 5pm and the last is 8:15pm and food is a mix of hot & ambient (see descriptions for details). A lot of the menu is vegan and gluten free, but our kitchen does handle allergens so please email if you have specific requirements. We do handle a lot of sesame and nuts, especially on Mezze evenings. If the lockdown continues we may offer delivery – please email if you’d be interested in this for future weeks.

How our takeaway ordering system works…

  • You add food, drink and snacks to the basket (click on items for more info)
  • Please email any allergy requirements to cafe@thistledown.org.uk (we handle a lot of tahini on Mezze nights so cannot accommodate sesame allergies)
  • Collection time slots are selected at the end of the process – book early to guarantee your preferred time
  • There is a minimum spend of £20 and payment is taken at the point of ordering
  • Due to supplier deadlines and sourdough processes we cannot offer refunds for cancelled orders
  • Ensure that you provide a contact number that you will have on you when you collect
  • When you arrive please let us know that you’re here and we’ll cook your breads to order – there will be a short wait for this but you could enjoy your preordered snacks and drinks while you wait!
  • If you arrive late then we may have to defer your collection to a later time slot
  • All food is boxed for takeaway in recyclable or compostable packaging
