The Legendary Squires Loft Steak Sandwich – Built on Baste, Born in Ballarat
From there, it only gets better. Nestled in golden toasted Ciabatta bread, the star of the show is joined by fresh lettuce from Wilson’s Fruit & Vegetables, streaky bacon, melted tasty cheese, and juicy tomatoes grown by local Ballarat legend John Elford—affectionately known as the Tomato Man. These are the kind of ingredients that come with a postcode and a story. But what truly brings it all together is our crispy fried onions for crunch and attitude together with steakhouse mayo that is bold, brilliant, and utterly unique. This isn’t just a steak sandwich, it’s a bite of Ballarat wrapped in Squires Loft magic. Enjoy! | Tim's "Always Sunny in Philly Cheesesteak" Toastie is his creative spin on the classic Philly Cheese. This mouthwatering toasted sandwich boasts tender Rump Steak from local butcher, Midvale Quality Meats, paired with fried capsicum and onion from Wilsons Fruit and Vegetables. It's generously layered with cheese sauce and American Cheddar, all nestled between slices of The Turret Bakehouse White Sourdough bread. A touch of 5th Season Inland Salt completes this impressive creation, which is quickly becoming one of Tim's most sought-after toasted sandwiches. Don't miss the chance to try it!
