The Signal Pub

SO welcoming! We stumbled upon this pub by chance and my god! The service and love we received was unmatched! Gorgeous food and gorgeous service. Couldn’t recommend more!

🚇 Forest Hill 🍺 £5.65 Amstel A Fantastic Locals Station Pub. The Signal is located in the heart of Forest Hill, South East London. The nearest station is Forest Hill Overground which is just across the road. This pub was built mid 19th century and started life as The Railway Signal Hotel. For a period of time the pub was known as The Hob. The Hob had a great reputation as a venue for stand-up comedy in South London. This is a large one bar pub that is split level, with the servery located on the upper level. The decor is traditional with contemporary touches here and there. Above the servery are some huge orange pendants, by the stairs is a model steam engine, my favourite feature is the live train times display above the back bar. The seating is predominantly low level tables and chairs with poser tables and stools near the servery. Upstairs is a function room, there is also a beer garden for the warmer months. The beer selection was good and included a couple of cask and craft plus No and Low options too. I decided on an Amstel, my pint was excellent, price point was pleasingly below six quid. The food menu consisted of traditional pub fayre, plus Roasts on a Sunday, Fish & Chips costs £14.99. The atmosphere here was superb, there were buzzy high street pub vibes with a local neighbourhood feel. The punters were from all walks of life, there were young couples enjoying an afternoon catch up and solo imbibers watching the scores coming in. The service was outstanding, the chap who served us was welcoming, quick witted and spent time talking to us about the pub whilst working his arse off making sure his customers were happy. The Signal has plenty on to keep you entertained. Throughout the week is Live Music, a Pub Quiz, Drinks Deals plus Live Premier League action. Check their socials for info. The @signalpub is a fantastic station pub that is popular with a broad mix of Forest Hill’s locals. The ambiance and welcome from the team make this is such an easy pub to settle into. We absolutely loved visiting here, this is a must visit London Pub. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 17.02.24

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 😀

A wonderful, cozy pub with INCREDIBLE Sunday roasts and the friendliest staff. We had two beef roasts and one chicken and the food was exceptional - incredibly flavourful and generous portions. Fran and Teddy who run the place are super welcoming and I will absolutely be back again!

Now under new management! Splendid atmosphere with friendly staff and landlords. Nicely designed interior, original wood fixtures with a modern covered beer garden. Highly recommend this place for drinks and/or food at any time of day. Substantial plates made with well-picked ingredients. Pub quiz on a Sunday is a good community favourite!

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.

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.

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?!
