Stephen Meagher-MuchienJuly 15, 2024A truly dinkum country pub with a superbly trained and happy team . Warmly greeted by the publican , seating and service ( we were - foolishly - walk-ins , not having realized how busy the hotel is ) were flawless and tucker seriously good gear ! Sad as it is , I actually remarked to the staff how happy they all were and how rare that is nowadays in venues .
Althea CiniJuly 15, 2024Absolutely recommend it! 🙂 It's such a great spot to spend a day with friends and family. The food is delicious, and the staff is polite and friendly.
Andrew WilcoxJuly 14, 2024Nestled outside idyllic hamlet of Trentham, amongst rolling green paddocks, the Pig & Whistle is full of rustic charm. It delivered everything I was looking for in a Saturday country pub lunch - unpretentious yet profoundly satisfying. Accompanied by my lovely, we crossed the threshold and were greeted by enthusiastic and welcoming staff. The comforting sight, sound and smell of no less than three open fires are glorious on a chilly winter's day. The menu is a fine selection of classic pub fare and the fact that you can order a longneck of Melbourne Bitter at the bar is just brilliant. The chicken parmigiana and the fish and chips were both delicious - chips lightly seasoned a subtle but welcome touch. If I was to make one suggestion for improvement, the side salad would be it. A slightly odd mix that is not quite sure what it wants to be. Service was as it should be: efficient, warm, and unobtrusively attentive. A visit here is highly recommended.
