Signalman in Brighton and Hove

A gorgeous fire place fills the pub with its aroma, ensuring this pub smells quintessentially British. Layer on a top quality roast, and this place is a hidden gem in one of Brighton’s bougie residential streets. Definitely worth a visit!

Had a great night on Thursday at the Signalman table of 10 friends we had not seen in ages, they also had not been to the signalman in a long while and complemented the pub for its warmth, cosy local pub feel. Cauliflower poppers, chicken wings and loaded fries also went down well as nibbles. Thankyou team Sig.

Amazing roast, huge portions and every part was delicious

13 of us prebooked dinner for our Christmas gathering . The food was tasty, fresh and portions were ample. The staff were friendly , professional and happy . Defo recommend

Great pub. Booked a family meal here for 16 and we all had a great time. Amazing food! We love coming for a Roast here but will be coming back more to try out the normal menu too! Thank you for being so welcoming.

Habíamos viajado de Plymouth a Brighton el fin de semana para reunirnos con nuestros hijos y celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa el domingo. Encontré detalles de The Signalman Sunday asados en línea y quedó asombrado por el pico de sus platos. Reservamos una mesa para seis y sin duda no estaba decepcionado. . . lejos de ello! Sin exagerar fue probablemente el mejor asado dominical que hemos tenido... ¡y hemos tenido algunos! Personal amable, comida impresionante (la cámara no mintió) y un gran ambiente. Por favor, abra una sucursal en Plymouth

Great roast, great service. A lovely Sunday afternoon. Would recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Saw good reviews about their roast and absolutely wasn’t disappointed. The food was incredible, couldn’t fault a single thing. A really lovely team of staff, really, all of them were so friendly and made it a perfect afternoon. I can’t wait to go back; I think this might be my new favourite place ☺️

Sensational roast, the best I’ve had in years. We managed to get a table at 5pm and the roast was impeccable. Can not recommend enough

Lovely pub, always friendly service from Demi, Liv and Nick. Always good fun, lovely beer garden and the food is delicious every time.

Came here to watch the football, had a great time. Liv and Demi pour the best Guinness. 100% coming back!

Gran servicio, personal encantador y gran elección de cervezas. Convertirse en un nuevo pub local favorito. Volveré para un asado ya que he oído que estos son bastante buenos aquí también.

Came here for the quiz. Served by Liv. Best drink I’ve ever had!!

Had a fantastic night here with my boys. Such great service from liv, food was banging and music was great! Definitely coming back

There were loads of us We had mixed dietary needs They did a sterling job and were are cracking bunch

The snuggliest pub in Brighton, great food, a proper dreamy vibe, and the staff are babes!!!

Lovely welcoming atmosphere with amazing helpful staff and delicious roasts. . . .the sticky toffee pudding is delicious!!

The beer garden's nice, as is the pub itself but the beers are overpriced, even by Brighton standards. That, coupled with lackadaisical staff who weren't terribly interested in serving the drinks to waiting customers, make the Signalman a hard place to recommend. Particularly when there are other pubs, a few minutes walk in either direction.

Went for a Sunday lunch with friends. We tried the roast pork and beef. The portion was huge! The meat, particularly the pork was lovely and juicy with lots of flavour. The veggies were the stand out though. The red cabbage was banging. Definitely get the side of cauliflower cheese, as was nice strong punchy sauce. The sticky toffee pudding was maybe lacking and perhaps more of the sauce was needed. Would definitely be back.

Great food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. 10/10 all around.

Really nice pub with great atmosphere and delicious roast dinner. The puddings were yum too. Definitely will be back x

Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch at the Signalman! Had the pork with crackling and it was delicious! The staff are lovely, really friendly and accommodating. Great outdoor space with covered booths and heaters. Would thoroughly recommend 😊

Lovely place to eat. Prices are good and portion sizes are excellent.

Great vibe, lovely decked garden and good choice of pub food

Love coming back to this pub, staff can't do enough and really friendly, service is great Food as always delish, if your in this party of town is a must

Brighton student drop. Booked table. We all spent a good chunk of time in this lovey pub. Really friendly atmosphere, locals and staff. Food was tasty; generous portions too. We had a range of dishes and sides. Recommend the burger for sure. Certain we’ll be back.

Fabulous roast! Came here for my birthday last Sunday but we always come here for the beer garden, atmosphere and especially because they have the Laine brew co beers! PS- I noticed there was a bad review below about rude staff, and my friend and I witnessed it, completely on the staff’s side and they handled it well - ignore his unfair review 😂

Amazing roast as always. The best! And always the friendliest staff (and the best music - Sam Cooke is made for a Sunday!)

Went here for a roast as our local in Hanover had changed kitchen for the worst. Was not disappointed! The staff were super lovely, the food was great and the portion size was perfect!

We had a fantastic Sunday roast in the beautiful beer garden. Couldn't recommend more. The staff were amazing, extremely friendly, quick to serve and making a cracking drink. Bloody Mary's, pork roast and the sticky toffee pudding were a highlights but our whole experience was brilliant and hope I can go back again soon. I do strongly recommend you book in your roast and be exact with numbers as you don't want to miss out!

Garden stays open till 12 which is always nice

Best looking bar staff in Brighton, much better than the open house 🤝

Big love for the Signalman! Great vibes and good food! Lovely big outside area as well. Would deffo recommend a trip here!

Had a fabulous couple of nights here during the euros ... great atmosphere & staff were amazing! Despite the staff being soooo busy always cheerful & never long to wait for a drink ! A proper pub run really well ! Ps. Food is devine ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s from us xxxx 💙❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Came here for my birthday and had the most amazing time! Staff were super lovely & friendly as well as the pub Itself being so pretty & cozy. Ended up sitting in the garden most of the night and their garden is just lush. Their variety of drinks on tap & bottled beers were so good (and their non alcoholic range!) it meant my friends who aren’t drinking alcohol can still have a drink and it not be a Coke! Also had a couple of their “small plates” while here and they were so delicious. Love coming in here everytime I do & definitely will be in for times to come <3

The Signalman stands as a beacon of culinary delights and warm hospitality. Step inside its charming interior and be enveloped by a cosy ambiance. The pub's menu shows a delectable array of dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. From juicy chicken tenders to mouthwatering burgers, each plate is a masterpiece crafted with care and attention to detail. The chefs take pride in using locally sourced produce, ensuring that every bite bursts with flavor. But the culinary excellence is not the only reason to visit The Signalman. The exceptional staff is the heart and soul of this beloved establishment. They greet guests with genuine smiles and attentive service, ensuring that every patron feels valued and welcome. Their knowledge of the menu and drink selection is impeccable, offering expert recommendations to complement your dining experience. Nick in particular is always very welcoming and such a laugh. He’s the best. GOAT. The pub's atmosphere is as inviting as it is friendly. Locals and visitors alike gather at its tables and cozy corners, engaging in lively conversations and sharing laughter. The warm glow of the fireplace in the Winter on chilly evenings creates a sense of camaraderie that extends throughout the pub. Whether you're looking for a casual pint after work, a hearty meal with friends, or a night of lively entertainment, The Signalman caters to your every need.

Such a great pub, staff are always amazing !! Food is also unreal !

Firstly the pub were so quick to reply to my enquiry about reserving some space. Not only did they reserve tables outside for us but also inside in case we got cold. The staff were so friendly and looked like they really liked working in the pub. The food was delicious (we had a burgers, halloumi bites, chips) and the pub just had a great atmosphere inside and out. All the party said they would definitely be going back especially when the sun is shining to sit in their gorgeous garden. Thanks so much to everyone at the Signalman!

This pub is honestly the best - the staff are SO lovely and helpful, the drinks selection is perfect and the beer garden was amazing. 10/10.

Easily one of the best pubs in Brighton. Great food, lovely staff and a really nice community feel. Great for footie too! Stunning all round

Nice pub by the London Road station

Lovely pub, favourite place for me and my friends to go

Sat for 2 hours, buying a couple pints per person (5 of us, also note pints were increased in price for the euros which wasnt mentioned beforehand) then told to leave an hour before the football started because the table was "reserved" even though reservations were stopped at 11am the same day so there was no reason to let us stay that long and spend that much money before asking us to leave.

Had an excellent night here. Not the first time but the first time in a while. Still great lovely staff. Wicked beer garden and good food. X

Great tasting roast with options for veggie and vegans. Staff super helpful and friendly. We had drinks in the lovely garden afterwards and listened to some great music. Wonderful afternoon!

Friendly and welcoming local pub with decent beer selection and spacious outside area. Worth a visit.

Really friendly staff. Great atmosphere and a good range of beers and wine on offer. We only had a drink, so I can't comment on the food.

Today I visited with a friend who frequents this pub and was excited to show me the garden and spoke very highly of its atmosphere. Unfortunately, today we were met by hostility and frustration by what I can only assume was the manager or of similar status as the way the other younger friendly member of staff looked to this woman for validation. The validation was due to when we entered the establishment we had asked if they had a WIFI we could use to message a friend due to the lack of signal. The kind mannered and friendly gentleman serving us responded positively stating that they do, and then turned to a woman who then in turn in a sarcastic yet hostile tone proceeded to say “yes, but only for paying customers”. Assuming the remark was a joke, as we were in the process of ordering drinks, we asked again for the password and she then repeated herself in a cold, patronising tone. We then explained we were ordering but needed to message our friend who was awaiting contact from us, she then from what I can only describe as sulked with a grumpy expression on her face and no apology for her mistake or abruptness. I’ve never been made to feel humiliated, patronised or received such poor customer service in my time spent in Brighton. I think politeness, respect and mannerisms could be learnt from the other staff that surrounded her. I hope this was a one off and if or when we choose to visit again all staff will be welcoming and positive.

i like to come here to watch football and they’ve always got the games on. very friendly staff and food very good. nice locals pub

Every time we’ve been here we’ve been blown away. The decor is lovely and the board games are such a nice touch, the team are super friendly and knowledgeable with excellent service and the food is incredible - the Sunday roast is to die for! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Went to the signalman for thr first time. We all had a roast. Easily the best roast we have ever had! It was absolutely delicious!! Everything was individually flavoured. SOOOOOO tasty!!! Lovely pub and atmosphere. Staff all friendly too. We will definitely be back.

The young bar staff were very nice, nothing was too much trouble, even told us when the next train to the Aamex was.

Amazing Sunday roast. Lovely pub with loads of choices of beers and spirits. Staff incredible and friendly Cracking outdoor garden area. Will be a sun trap in the summer.

Went as ket down by Open House kitchen closed despite booking table and no notice.

One of the greatest Sunday roasts I’ve had for a very long time! Nice little sun trap garden is lovely to sit in also. The beef roast was 10/10. Cauliflower cheese was delicious & the stuffing balls are a must. Will most certainly be back!

This spot in Brighton is absolutely lovely! The garden vibes are on point, especially when the sun's out – it's the ultimate hangout spot!

From the initial booking with Romy for Mother's Day with great advice of timing To the most attentive & delicious Sunday Roasts with extras. Literally the best we've had in the UK! Amazing comfortable pub for all ages. We look forward to coming back soon

We had a delicious Sunday roast, with a group of friends for my birthday. Alice was amazing....she was professional and dealt with us with finesse and humour, as we were high demanding customers after a big night out the night before !! Thanks Alice!

- Great staff, amazing food,wings in Korean sauce plus chicken burger beautiful, great stuff thank you business associate had sausage and mash said also amazing, fantastic gravy

We actually booked at the round hill pub but we left after awful customer service and went here. All the ladies who were working were extremely friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing and you got a lot for your money too. Save to say our Sunday dinner was saved thanks to you guys and I will definitely recommend people to go here.

lovely pub friendly staff food amazing served by demi and zoe lovely young ladys very helpful

Lovely staff, excellent food, well worth a visit!

Have been here a few times, just moved in round the corner and popped in to celebrate. Great service, buzzing atmosphere, what a wonderful pub to call my new local! Shout out to Romy and the team for this fab spot 🤘

We booked a table for 15 of us, and the pub was super cosy with a nice fire! The staff were super friendly and lovely, and were very quick to serve us. We had a really delicious 3 course lunch and the price is reasonable! The gardens are beautiful also in winter, and the beer and wine selection is good! We would go again!

Came for a few drinks with friends and had the loveliest evening. Played lots of board games and had too many mulled wines haha which are delightful!

We had a really lovely dinner it’s such a nice pub!! Service was great - especially our waitress Mia. She was really friendly and helpful!!

Always a warm welcome in this pub especially from the very sweet and smiley Mia, she can pull a mean pint of Guinness and always has time for a friendly chat

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, good selection of drinks and food. Also really friendly staff, especially Milly! She is always great when she is working

Lovely atmosphere created with the fire- staff were chatty and kind, especially Zoë! Will come again :)

My partner and I popped in for a quick drink and ended up staying for hours playing guess who and drinking mulled wine! The pub is super festive and bar staff are so lovely. Milly made us feel so welcomed and was always smiling! Will be coming again next weekend for sure 😀

My new favourite pub in Brighton! Super warm and cosy atmosphere inside, great spacious garden and staff are always lovely and friendly - we were served by Zoë who made our visit! Will definitely be back

The signalman is the place to be, the open log fire, twinkly fairy lights and Christmas decs across the pub make it feel so cosy. Had a few lovely ladies serving me and my friends all evening, one had blue hair think she said her name was Millie, and I didn’t get the others name but she was tall and blonde. Can’t thank them enough as well praises to whoever made their mulled wine that evening it was Devine!

Having built and delivered a shiny new Toad table for the Signalman. I thought I'd pop along and show them how to play this fantastic pub game. The pub is a gem! Lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere and great staff. Plenty to choose from beer wise too. We happily played toad in its new, purpose built corner and even got a few of the locals playing too. Overall a super night and a super pub. The staff really couldn't do enough for us. I'll be back very soon for sure. 😁😁😁

Roast of your dreams paired with the cozy atmosphere sets you up for the best Sunday! Zoe was super friendly and made our visit one to remember Thanks all - keep doing what your doing :)

Went to the signalman for some drinks after my graduation and it was such a cute and cosy pub. Jojo served us and was very helpful and lovely even though it was a busy evening. Will definitely come again. Thank you!

Lovely cosy pub with a great outdoor area, had a delicious mulled apple and tuaca served by Mia. Definitely recommend!

Had a really fun boozy lunch here with friends, good food and service was amazing - shout out to Zoe for dealing with such a large group of us! Can't wait to go again.

I wasn’t too sure what to order but was reccomended by Mia to try the mulled tuaca & apple drink! So tasty & a great drink suggestion was so fun to try something new! Great service & a great vibe 👍🏼👍🏼

Such a great pub. Always a warm welcome and lovely service. I was recommended the beef roast dinner- what can I say, no regrets with that👌 thank you Mia. Lovely staff👍

Lovely homely pub with a great atmosphere, served by Ella who was very friendly and welcoming Will definitely recommend to friends and come again!

Came in last week with my friends for a few drinks and some nibbles, ended up chatting to the nicest bar staff ever who were so lovely and funny. Ella helped us decide on food as everything sounded so good, her recommendations were unreal of course!! Cant wait to come back ⭐

The roast at Signalman is epic! The roast pots were crisp and fluffy, the veg was all cooked well and was tasty, cheesy leeks were delicious and pigs in blankets were cooked properly with the bacon nice and crisp. The best thing was the pork, so much of it and two massive crackling pieces. The service was great, despite being so busy everyone was lovely and would chat a little when they could. Felt very welcomed. We will be back!

A great local in the London road area. Cosy esp with the open fire, menu has pub classic and winter warmers for the colder months. Had the sausage and mash which was great! Team are always attentive and friendly and pleased to see you. Improved garden is such a great addition.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Really good customer service and delicious mulled wine served by Mia!

Such a lovely - welcoming venue! I was served by Ella who was really friendly and kind. Would 100% recommend!

Went for a night out with friends and hadn’t been to the signalman but it ended up being really good there great food and drinks also the blue haired bartender I think called Millie was lovely and really helpful:)

Me and my four hosuemates came to The Signalman for a Sunday Roast and we'll absolutely be coming again. The set up inside is so cosy and lovely, it felt very festive and cute! The staff were so attentive - our waitress Zoe was truly fabulous and did everything she could to make sure we had a great experience, which really made our day - and the food was incredible! The Wellington and Nut Roast were particularly amazing 🌟🌟 This is definitely going to become our go-to local in Brighton!

Cracking Pub! Best roast in Brighton and the staff are fantastic!

Can I just say, What a beautiful, lovely welcoming place. I live in eastbourne and have travelled to london road brighton, 3 times in 9 days to come to the signalman with my new partner. The staff are so welcoming and just lovely. Great beer and fantastic food. Great value, £11 for a home cooked lunch in the week, Definitely a win win. Also feels so Christmassy in the evenings with the log fire and the fairy lights everywhere. Just love it.

Came with friends for a roast and drinks, super accommodating and friendly team. Food was incredible and good selection of beers. They’ve just had their garden re-done too and it’s amazing!

went for a Sunday roast last week…the pub itself is so nice and inviting! All the staff were really nice. Romy (the manager) checked on us and made hs feel so welcome. One of the best roasts I’ve had in Brighton by far

Gorgeous cosy pub with plenty heated garden seating for the winter!

Always have a lovely time at the signalman, the staff are always lovely and the food and drinks are great! With the new and improved booths in the garden it’s going to be such a great pub in the winter too!

Lovely pub with attentive staff and creative, and delicious food. So cozy by the fireplace in the autumn as well :)

lovely pub! friendly atmosphere, nice garden and good selection of drinks. will definitely be coming again!!

Such a lovely friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and wide selection of beer and cider on draught. Our group also got some delicious small plates from sam’s kitchen - highly recommend the cauliflower poppers!

One of my favourite pubs in brighton. Lovely staff, amazing food and great drink selection! Always have a great time here

My favourite pub! Loveliest staff and food and drink is to die for

Love all the people and the dog. Food and drink is really nice. Lots of seating and cosy corners !!!

Had such an amazing time at the signalman the other evening. The fire was so cosy as well as all of the cute fairy lights around the pub. The staff were super friendly and helpful with getting drinks & giving me lots of options &...
