Trent House

The Trent House is an unassuming little pub that doesn't take itself too seriously. Drinks are relatively inexpensive and the pub has a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The trouble with this attitude though, is that some things need to be taken very seriously, for example, I watched one of the bar staff preparing a cheese toasty without employing any food preparation and handling techniques. In fact not only was food being prepared with bare hands but the member of staff was playing with their hair at the same time. Whilst the Trent House doesn't offer any significant food options (only a couple of items really), the preparation of these food items needs to be carried out in a professional manner.
I feel as though I've laboured the previous point a bit, but I do feel it's important as I very much like this pub and it's welcoming atmosphere. In fact it's a bit of an oasis in a desert of noisy pubs in Newcastle city centre and I for one wouldn't like it to be closed due to some environmental health concerns.
If you feel like visiting the pub and want to listen to music that appeals to you then bring along a cd of your music and they'll add it to the juke-box. How cool is that?
Visit soon, you wont be disappointed (as long as you don't eat anything)!
