A Steak and Guinness Mushroom Pie next to a Chicken Tikka Masala is the order that explains Squires Gastro Pub fastest. The Fairview Street pub keeps British comfort plates and Indian curries on the same menu, then makes room for burgers, tacos, pizza, and a weekend brunch built around steak and eggs. The cross-cuisine reach is not improvisation — it is the working premise of the kitchen and the reason a Burlington table that cannot agree on cuisine can still order from one menu without sending half the group elsewhere.
The two anchors are clear enough that the rest of the menu organizes around them. The eight-ounce haddock Fish and Chips arrives with house-cut fries, tartar sauce, slaw, and a grilled lemon. The Famous Chicken Wings come naked or breaded with sauces that travel — barbecue and buffalo, mango habanero, jerk, butter chicken, sriracha lime. Steak and Guinness Mushroom Pie holds the British comfort centre after that, beef and mushrooms braised in Guinness gravy under golden pastry, served with mashed potatoes. Bangers and Mash, Shepherd's Pie and Gravy, Yorkshire Sliders, and a full Beef Wellington sit in the same pub-comfort lane. The Indian side runs from a New Delhi Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh to the Avocado Cranberry Chaat, a starter that lands the chaat tradition in a form the British comfort eaters can read at a glance. A Juicy Lucy Burger, a Reuben the Great Sandwich, a Margherita pizza, and a Spiced Potato Burger fill in the cross-cuisine middle.

How to eat at Squires Gastro Pub
1
Start With Fish and Chips
Make the haddock fish and chips the anchor order, then add wings or French onion soup if the visit is more pub-comfort than brunch. It is the cleanest way to read Squires before branching into pies, burgers, or the specials calendar.
2
Build a Wings-and-Shareables Spread
For a group, build around wings, the Squires Mix Platter, tacos, sandwiches, burgers, and one British comfort plate. That path keeps the order flexible for guests who want pub classics, handhelds, or something snackable with drinks.
3
Use the Specials Calendar
The current specials page gives each weekday a clear value cue, from Monday carvery to Wednesday wings and Friday fish and chips. Check the day before deciding, because the strongest move may be timing the visit around the offer rather than ordering blind.
4
Make Brunch the Daytime Move
Weekend brunch is worth timing around steak and eggs, mimosas, and a slower Saturday or Sunday start. Use brunch when the group wants pub comfort without committing to a full dinner-and-drinks night.
5
Let the Bar Lead Dinner
Use the beer list or cocktail side to frame the visit, especially for wings, bar bites, or patio drinks. Squires works best when the food and drinks are planned together rather than treating the bar as an afterthought.
