We enjoyed a family meal out here and were pleased with the quality of food and the service. The children were made very welcome and were served as soon as their food was ready. We had to wait a little longer as food was prepared from scratch but it was worth the wait. We all enjoyed the meal and would... More

We always enjoy our meals at the Trentham, the steaks really are something else and you can guarantee at least 2 diners will be eating it every time we visit, that speaks for itself, however I cannot resist the Nachos, delicious and very filling, the owners are always very welcoming and chat away like you're an old friend, a lovely...

I always make a point of stopping in for some of the great onion rings known to man. Simply stunning. Pleasantly surprised to see the toilets have had a refurb - best toilets in town. Normally I go for the Steak Sizzler, it comes on a metal plate and continues to cook while you eat - this time though, I... More

We called at 4pm to find out when the restaurant was due to open and were told 6pm. When we said we were looking for something a bit earlier, were told to come along and have a drink and they would serve us as soon as they could. Impressed already! When we arrived we received a friendly greeting and really... More

We were staying in Dornoch in mid August and went out to the Trentham for an evening meal on the recommendation of our relatives. It was a real eye opener. It may have been the Ry Cooder C.D that was playing when we entered but the ambience was definitely very high class american diner - in a really good way... More

Have been going to the Trentham for a few years now and just visited again this weekend. Didn't think it could get better but it certainly has! We enjoyed a fantastic, filling meal off the big, varied menu. The food is always fantastic. The new renovations have given it a nice lift enhancing the warm pub feel. Have stayed on... More

We stopped here for lunch as we were travelling up to John O'Groats. I love it when something just surprises you as much as this did. The food was all home made and delicious and the service was really friendly. I just wish it was closer so I could eat there more often.

Go to the Trentham every couple of months as usual it has nice service and lovely food. The menu hasnt changed in years but there is always something to order from it. The hotel has recently had a nice face lift with new windows, flooring and the toilets looking fab. Dinner can be booked from 5pm onwards and I believe... More
