Went to the Signal yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.
Very friendly, helpful staff - quite a few of them- and not a surly face in sight!
Double gin and Fevertree tonic cheaper than double gin and Schweppes in the Dolphin and therefore presumably the Dartmouth Arms.
A few more smaller tables in the main section of the downstairs bar would be good.
Did not eat, but judging from the menu, food appears realistically priced and good value for money. Snacks such as sausage rolls and chips served all day.
Pub was filling up rapidly from around 4 30 pm when lights were dimmed.
Having been open only a week it would not be fair at this stage to compare the Signal with other bars/ restaurants in the area, but I think it is going to be a success.and deservedly so.
