Established in 1840, not only is the capital's Thistle Inn New Zealand's oldest pub still operating from its original site, but also it was the country's second ever pub to be issued with a  liquor license, which has never ceased!  Kathryn Ryan talks to The Thistle's general manager Richard Walshe about how they are celebrating their 180 year milestone for Wellington on a Plate, shares stories about famous customers and shares a recipe for Paua Fritters.
