About The Signal Box

Getting through the door with a buggy is easier when the pub already expects children — high chairs are on hand, so there's no hunting around once you've claimed a table. There's a proper kids' menu, meaning you don't have to negotiate a side plate off your own meal, and gluten-free options are available if someone in your group needs them. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day. Booking ahead is worth it so you're not standing about with a pushchair while you wait.
