The Squire's Pub attracts patrons with British-style fare and a distinctive pub atmosphere, both of which have helped it win several of The Pilot's Best of Moore County 2010 awards including the All-Around Restaurant and Burger categories. A host of hearty appetizers extinguish hunger with the likes of beer-battered mushrooms, eight mushrooms dipped in beer batter, fried, and escorted by a sweet and spicy red-pepper-jelly sauce ($5.99). The pub fare menu features comfort foods such as the Cambridge ham sandwich, an open-faced hot ham sandwich topped with mushrooms, cheese, and a parliamentary wig of Devonshire cream sauce, rendering taste bud verdicts alongside fries, cream slaw, or marinated vegetables ($9.99). From the steaks and entrees menu, the Guinness-spiced london broil heads to the table as a grilled sirloin steak crowned with an Irish stout seasoning blend, before which mashed potatoes quiver with gravy and sweet peas kneel in admiration ($15.99). Though not included in today's deal, a large beer selection proffers pours from the British Isles.

The Squire Pub's owners honor their English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish ancestry with authentic artifacts and antiques throughout the establishment, including a 1719 map of Kent, photos of Trafalgar Square, and William Shakespeare's cherished childhood Speak & Spell. The stained glass, mirrors, and dark woods of the interior take eyes on a historical journey, and hanging dartboards, backgammon, and cribbage games are available from the barkeep to keep hands adept in the event of impromptu thumb wars.
