Reviews for The Crafty Squire
Claudine Faerie
Popular, centrally located 2 storey pub/bistro. Staff are friendly and helpful. My friends frequently love to come here for dinners BC of the variety on menu and indigenous ingredients in some of the meals. We stopped in for early dinner today and ate on the 2nd level and although there were only a few other groups there, I found it cold, and noisy as the sound from others seems to echo. Of the 3 meals ordered, 2 were good but 1 lot of chips were served cold and the hot choc was only luke warm. The staff did promptly remake the chips when requested.

I took my team of 20 for lunch here, the staff were very friendly and made sure we got good seating. They brought out our food in a short time and frequently checked with us to make sure we were doing good. The food tasted great with big portions! The atmosphere is good and has sports running on various televisions. There were multiple vegetarian options as well which was very helpful..

I love this place! It’s home to the James Squire Brewhouse! If this is your first time visiting, go for their paddle. The friendly staff behind the bar will help you with the selection and always get their recommendations right. Ever since I’ve come here, I’ve been hooked with James Squire cider. No regrets! They have great chips (and a generous portion!) if you fancy munching on something while enjoying your drink. In one of our visits, we decided to go for their main course options, and we ordered the Chicken Parma ($31) + Fish & Chips ($29). Both came hot, and freshly made. Great portion, and excellent tase. This place is never a disappointment. Love it!

Good venue and chilled vibe, nice sitting area outside. Food’s descent. Had 12 hour cooked lamb shoulder that was really juicy and I liked it a lot.

We ordered via the App. at the table and the food took ages to arrive. No cutlery and serviettes were provided so we had to go hunting for them. The steak was $46 which was so over priced it was embarrassing. I could have gone to a proper steak house for close to the same price and also have an entree and glass of wine included for the same price. Overall the food was very average and super expensive. As for atmosphere, it was crowded and unappealing. Not a fan and certainly way over priced for what they offer.
