alachlan Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 So which pub has the best outside smoking facilities - have any of them actually built anything decent outside?Don't want to get into the arguments about whether one should or not.

Louisa Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 i'd say the Clock House.. (but it's not worth visiting just for a smoke outside TRUST ME!) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1013-best-pub-to-smoke-outside-at/#findComment-26039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanMacGabhann Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The Castle has a pretty darn nice outside area created on the back of the legislation - nicer than the inside some would say Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1013-best-pub-to-smoke-outside-at/#findComment-26089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulwich Dad Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I think the Plough actually wins this particular event. We went for a few pints of brownlast night and it has an outside area which is both undercover and heated - thumbs up.

bawdy-nan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Ah - heat the outdoors there's a good idea. I know you smokers appreciate comfort (its the only pleasure I have left etc) and, what wit the price of fags these days, are short of cash - but haven't you heard of coats ...

That'll learn em for doing something that you don't like.

bawdy-nan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I feel much less anti-smoker now they're not causing me to breathe their smoke.

Dulwich Dad Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It is required so that the smokers still have some dignity, and can at least feel like they have not been completely ousted by society by being able to have a civilised drink and a burner without having to shuffle about in freezing cold car parks in the rain.DD Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1013-best-pub-to-smoke-outside-at/#findComment-26131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I was with Dulwich dad last night and the plough was excellent. Good interior, nice outside sitting room for the smokers, good ambiance and a door man keeping the riff-raff out (a drunk scotsman trying to start a fight with his own reflection).Off thread i know - but we did have to wait for 20mins for a pint. teeting problems i'm sure.

ChavWivaLawDegree Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would have thought that the problems with outside heaters is that we are facing catastrophic climate change already, and should be reducing our energy consumption, so it seems a bit nihilistic to install outside heating in all the pubs across the country to stop smokers getting cold!

alachlan Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I heard one of the best things that a landlord has done up in Scotland/Ireland is to have a large collection of ski jackets for people to wear outside, though why they wouldnt take their own coats is beyond me. Frankly if I want to go outside I don't necessarily want to wear a coat and I will certainly be purchasing a heater for my own garden.

Dulwich Dad Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I agree with Tom, this pub has real potential for BOTH smokers and non smokers, lots of room, fantastic outdoor area and the pipes were clean (don't know about you Tom but no gut problems today)We've yet to sample the food, so the jury remains out on that issueThey should definately apply for a late license though, as we were asked to leave at 1 minute past 11DD Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1013-best-pub-to-smoke-outside-at/#findComment-26145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
