Shamrock Rose & Thistle opened in July of 2007 and closed in November of 2012. It had become the favorite destination of locals and travelers looking for a truly unique dining experience. Classifying Shamrock Rose and Thistle is a challenge. We’re a cross between a British Pub, a Southern Family Restaurant, and an English Tea Room. We call ourselves a gastro pub, in that we cheerfully serve whatever we desire--British, French, Italian, Thai, Indian, and of course Southern American cuisine--in a welcoming atmosphere. Our chefs are free to invent what they see fit and pub-goers and tea drinkers are free to relax, and enjoy. The gastro pub movement started in the early 90’s in London, England. The idea of taking an existing pub, injecting a young gourmet chef, and elevating the experience for its patrons crossed the pond and has been permeating this country for a few years now. Shamrock Rose and Thistle is a place to celebrate family events or catch up on local news; share a pint with friends or relax over afternoon tea. You can pop in for a drink, run in for a quick bite, or linger over an exceptional meal and a fine wine. Focusing on a simple menu, fresh ingredients, well prepared, at a reasonable price; we prepare traditional dishes with a gentle gourmet twist. But don’t take our word for it. Visit our delightfully different British Gastro Pub and discover your new “local” in the Village of Spring Hill.
