Before you head over

Practical advice for timing, ordering, and planning your visit

  • Plan Ahead for Sitting Times

    Tables can fill up quickly and bookings run on structured 90-minute sitting windows, so plan your arrival accordingly if dining during peak dinner services.

  • Ask for Extra Basting

    Steaks, ribs, and skewers come prepared with Squires Loft's signature basting sauce, but you can request extra basting alongside your cut to enhance the char-grill flavor.

  • Consider Bar Seating for Walk-Ins

    Solo diners or last-minute walk-ins without a table reservation can head straight to the bar for full dinner service and friendly chat.
