Welcome to The Burning Thistle, the most chaotic Scottish pub on the Costa Blanca. Johnny thought running a pub in sunny Benidorm would be easy. Pull a few pints, enjoy the sunshine and keep the holidaymakers happy. Unfortunately, nobody told him about the customers. From drunken karaoke disasters and pub quizzes that descend into all-out warfare, to impossible bar staff, eccentric expats and tourists who should never be allowed near alcohol, every day at The Burning Thistle is a battle for survival. With a cast of unforgettable characters, including Clayton the philosophical bouncer and the sassy barmaids Gina and Theresa and enough banter to fill a double-decker bus, Johnny somehow manages to keep the doors open...most of the time. Packed with outrageous situations, colourful characters and laugh-out-loud moments, The Burning Thistle is perfect for fans of Still Game, The Three Glesgas, Benidorm and Scottish comedy. So pull up a stool, order a pint and prepare for absolute mayhem. What could possibly go wrong?
