The Signal Pub Reviews Summary

Decoration

Pros:

• "Look out for the interesting eclectic decor, the train live timetable (which is a genius idea for those going to the station)."
• "Really really nice service and such lovely decor."

Cons:

• "The decoration looks as if someone wasn't sure what they wanted so shoved as many cliches into one place as could without any consideration of the customers."
• "Sofas gone, art replaced with TVs, food quality is appalling."
• "What used to be a nice little boozer is now like all good pubs around being turned gastro pubs that are cold and bare with no atmosphere whatsoever..."

Service

• "The staff are incredibly friendly and easy to chat to."
• "Friendly and helpful staff too. What’s not to like?!"
• "The staff have always been cheerful and communicative."

Cons:

• "Service was terribly slow, we were a table of 4 and our main course came over an hour after ordering."

• "Service is pretty shocking. Our waitress had no idea about the menu or the ingredients used."
• "No one came over to us in the 45 mins we did stay to see how we were and unfortunately you have now lost my business."
