Gastropub: (n)  a "British term for a public house ('pub') which specializes in high-quality food a step above the more basic 'pub grub'. The name is a portmanteau of pub and gastronomy.  A Gastropub is similar to an Italian brasserie or French bistro."

 

The Hart & Thistle offers great food, prepared fresh, in a relaxed and comfortable ambience.  “Come for the beer….stay for the food….come back for the food.”
