The only pub around with an indoor smoking area?

Went to the Skuba Bar last night and sat in their new conservatory for the first time. We had two smokers with us who were very pleased to see they've found some kind of loophole against the smoking ban. The walls of the conservatory can be opened right up, so they don't quite count as walls, and the roof can be rolled back too, but to all intents and purposes it seems to me this is an enclosed are.

They have lots of heat lamps inside, but it was still a bit chilly for me, so we headed off to Chambers.

Some thoughts on the Skuba bar

Slight repost from the weblog:

... got distracted by the thought of Thai food in Skuba. It was GREAT to sit out in their garden when we should have been at work, reading the papers while waiting for our lunch to arrive - this is the life I was thinking, I could do this every day, is there a way to make it pay?

The food itself wasn't the best, the vegetables in my red curry seemed tinned, and there wasn't any great heat to it either, bah. Nice enough though and I think if I go for a different dish next time it might be better. The location and atmosphere (helped along by what a lovely day it was) just about compensated for the lunch...
