Squires Loft Cheltenham is run by a highly committed and experienced team headed up by Troy Cox. Troy has over 20 years experience, starting as a Barman at Squires Loft South Yarra in 1998, he quickly climbed the ranks and was promoted to Manager where he ran the restaurant for 8 years. In 2006 Troy opened his own Squires Loft becoming a part owner of the Albert Park venue. He was very much a hands-on owner, working the floor as often as possible and over time building strong relationships with his clientele, many of whom to this day are still regular Squires Loft customers.

Troy furthered his Squires Loft experience by opening the Essendon venue in 2013 followed by the Williamstown venue in 2014. It was also during this year 2014, that Troy was approached by long-time customers and friends Claudio and Marco Gattino. They presented Troy with an opportunity to open yet another store, this time in Cheltenham, which would occupy the retail space of an apartment complex that the brothers were about to develop. Troy was excited by this proposal, an agreement was made, and the trio went ahead and purchased the previously untapped Squires Loft Bayside Franchise rights, which has become what we know today as the unique and custom-designed Squires Loft Cheltenham .

In the years leading up to the delivery of space for the Cheltenham site, Troy s passion for the Squires Loft brand continued to be evident, when he relocated his family to Koh Samui, Thailand, where he successfully opened the first international Squires in 2015.

Once construction of the Cheltenham site had commenced, Troy and his family returned to Melbourne, and along with the co-owners Claudio and Marco, worked tirelessly together to create a spectacular space for the newest Squires Loft. This space had to be special, to compliment the strong, proud reputation that is synonymous with the Squires Loft brand. It was then after much hard work, that Squires Loft Cheltenham opened its doors with great anticipation in November 2018.

We look forward to welcoming you to what we believe is the best Steak restaurant in the Bayside Area.
