Actually, the Perry Vale is quite a new concept for its owners as, firstly, they are in a different area from the Crooked Well and, secondly, whereas the Crooked Well is a gastropub, PV is a bistro (although I would describe it as a restaurant) .

PV has, in fact, done a lot of tweaking. They appear now to have collared the lunch time market by introducing their two course for £10 menu Tuesday to Fridays, they will shortly be opening on Monday evenings with BYO, and will be introducing 20% early bird discounts in the evenings. They engage with their customers, take on board customer comments and are constantly looking to improve their product, as are the owners of All Inn One.

Early days yet, and they need a chance, but the Signal has so far not replied to comments on the Forest Hill Society''s interview with them and subsequent queries. I am also interested to ascertain what disabled facilities they have.

I do hope that the Signal will not become just another "take it or leave it" establishment.
