Set in a quiet residential area half a mile from the A331/A3011 junction and North Camp train station, the Squirrel caters for all comers. While food from the good value menu is important, this is still a traditional pub where it doesn't matter where you sit, or whether you eat or just drink. The central island bar is surrounded by interconnected public spaces on three sides, mostly laid with dining tables of varying sizes but there is also an area with high stools more suited to drinking only. One end of the pub has sports on TV whilst the other end is quiet. There is a heated covered patio outside and a larger beer garden. A popular quiz is held every Thursday and Sunday evening.
The regular beer selection is from nationals, while they may not be the most adventurous choice for seasoned ale drinkers, the beers are well-kept and reasonably priced for the area and sold at a reduced price on Mondays.
