Really can't recommend. The drinks are average but are considerably more expensive than surrounding bars and the service is truly abysmal. The last time I went, I was told I could sit upstairs - after 10 minutes, I had to go find someone as no one had come to take our order. I was told someone would come to the table as you can't order at the bar - another 5 minutes later someone came. 20 minutes after that, another server walking past and noticed that we still didn't have our drinks - to be fair, a couple of minutes after that we finally got drinks (so that last person was at least quick). It seems to be closed a lot in the evening when it's supposed to be open (perhaps closing early because it's quiet during the week?).

Probably never to...
Read moreWent to the Signature Lounge on a Friday evening for a girls (well slightly mature ladies!!) night out. There were 7 of us and we all enjoyed the food we had chosen to eat which was tasty and perfectly cooked. We found the staff friendly, attentive and very patient when it came to paying our bill at the end of the evening as we all wanted to pay separately! There was a solo guitarist playing that evening and the music was pleasant and at a level that still allowed us to talk! I would like to congratulate Signature on realising there is a HUGE difference between sweet and dry cider as so many places only sell the sweet flavoured ciders which are no good for us dry drinkers! It was lovely to be able to wash my delicious lamb kofta down with a chilled Strongbow! A great night thank you and we are all looking forward to...
