Hotel Trentham
Thankyou so much for the provision of alcohol on the Opening Night!
The original Hotel Trentham dates back to 1926, a pub built for the local potato farmers, the transient gold prospectors & and the Wombat Forest timber workers. A pub founded by the need for the locals to have a place to enjoy a hearty meal, wet the whistle, share some stories, and talk sport, with Trentham Saints Football Club (founded in 1892) one of the most competitive in the league the mainstay of conversation. Almost 100 years later, the pub has been meticulously restored to it's former glory, with a few modern touches to ensure it can service today's needs & expectations. Whilst the industries that workers who frequented Hotel Trentham have all but disappeared, the need for the locals to have a place to enjoy a hearty meal, share a drink, and catch up with friends remains the same. We guess the saying that "everything old becomes new again" is more relevant than ever here at Hotel Trentham!
