The Signal Pub

Popped in for a couple on the way to John Parris cues . This pub is right outside the train station, you can't miss it. Great selection of beers and I had the Christmas Burger which was lovely... Very nice burger. Staff are great and price point isn't bad. Highly recommend popping in. There's a lot of TV's all with something different on so it's not just showing football which was a relief. The pub itself is quite long.. it's got loads of space and a nice little digital screen with train times on so you can time a quick half nicely before your train home 😀

chill at a 2:45pm Sat and got quite busy at 3:45 when we left. need to wait 30 mins for all of our 5 small plates, could've serve some in advance as we got 2 people and order 5 plates. it's also surprising that only one member of staff is running the area, except whoever in the hidden kitchen ofc. Overall still a very decent experience, comfortable seating and live sport, boardgames and books avaliable in the pub.

Had our Annual Christmas Party held here booked a few months in advance, the space upstairs was perfect for 31 of us, the pub itself has its own charm. They were most definitely SHORT STAFFED. Food was being served whilst the previous course was still not cleared from the table, glasses, cutleries, napkins not on the table. We suppose to have our own bar person however it was only during our starter someone served us otherwise we had to keep going downstairs to get our drinks. Food: So we opted for 3 the course meal £27. Beef was served first which for those who had it said it tasted really good, then everyone who ordered turkey had to wait 20mins, kids still waiting for theirs. The turkey was non existent, 2 small slices, they bulked up in veg even had mash potatoes and roast potatoes which is a first for me, food was cold apart from the pigs in blanket. Desserts were questionable, however the Xmas pudding was not bad. Thankfully we had access to music so that cheered us up. Such a shame as the 1 year old was the last to get served.

Really lovely local pub with everything you could ask for: ales on tap, many beers, extensive wine list, and a fantastic food menu. The pies are a real treat and are presented beautifully. Lovely welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for a casual get together with friends. I loved the quirky features of the pub like the small steam engine in a glass display box, and the train time display behind the bar so you have one less excuse for missing the last train! Friendly and helpful staff too. What’s not to like?!

Quite disappointed with the Signal recently. Came on a Saturday night, only one member of staff behind the bar so very long queues. No chef in so no food either. We ordered two pints of Diet Coke, for £4 each. They tasted like soda water and the bartender told us the syrup had run out. He then gave us a single 330ml bottle as a substitute - not great for £8 (see photo)! I’m guessing the management must be under some financial pressure as standards have really fallen. Think they should spend more time getting the basics right (i.e. having enough quality staff to cover a shift, and good stock management) rather than spending money on new TVs and an expensive sky subscription…

No longer a good pub. New management I suppose, but now it’s basically a Wetherspoons with crappity food and no character. Sofas gone, art replaced with TVs, food quality is appalling. My fish and chips was more breading than fish... burgers were charred hockey pucks... chips were reheated... peas looked from a can. REALLY SAD too because this was my favorite local for the past year and I always enjoyed it. Now it’s just a sports pub. I will reach out to management to see what happened.

Great selection of gin and booze, some good house cocktails. Really good Sunday roast, even tho they forgot my Yorkshire pudding! The manager was there and was excellent. Great service, knowledgeable, attentive. Sadly, we went back for food on a Tuesday night and my dishes were disappointing. Tacos (£6 each!) and duck leg salad were all a bit cold and dry. And the ice cream was pretty lame and overpriced for £6.50. There was only 3 of us and the rest of the pub was quiet. The staff weren’t great. One member was brand new and basically didn’t know anything. Fine. The other was bussing empty tables rather than taking away our dirty plates. My gf even took some dirty plates up and left them on the bar and they still didn’t get the hint. TLDR: poor service, disappointing food, good drinks. I will deffo give them the benefit of the doubt and go back again.
