The original 1926 Hotel Trentham was a pub built for the local potato farmers, the transient gold prospectors & and the Wombat Forest timber workers and locals to have a place to enjoy a hearty meal, wet the whistle, share some stories, and share stories about the Trentham Saints Football Club (founded in 1892). Whilst the industries that workers who frequented Hotel Trentham have all but disappeared, the need for a place to enjoy a hearty meal, share a drink, and catch up with friends remains the same.
