Ay Up,

Just thought I'd update you on the vape friendly pubs in my hometown of Wombwell in South Yorkshire. These are just the ones where we have bothered to ask;

The Anglers Rest
Squires
KGs
The Royal Oak
Butchers
The Alma

Why not add a post with vape friendly pubs in your town

Apparently Saltwater in Nottingham "allows the use of electronic cigarettes in the bar, but not in the restaurant".

I've yet to try it out, but I thought I would email the manger of the bar to see how they would handle vaping.

Are these places in which one alone may vape, or any number?

In the case of Wombwell,,,,my home town,,,,,the Pubs will allow anyone to vape, the more the better Bums on seats,,,or feet on sticky carpets!

Just spent a great weekend camping in Pewsey Wiltshire.
Found the Royal Oak on the high street.
Really friendly, they sell e-cigs and had no problem with me and my mates vaping all evening.
Good food as well.

Thankyou everyone - I have added them to the map

That sounds like the Horseshoe Rusty even though it's not on your list

[Rusty]

Ay Up Storm,

The Horseshoe is unfortunately a JD Wetherspoons now-a-days and they have a national policy against ecigs at present. Having said that, I do vape when I'm in there but 'out of sight'

[Storm]

JDW have a national policy about everything , the arrogant buggers are hard work when it comes to contractors working on their premises , however the managers and staff at the Horseshoe are a decent bunch , well last time I was there that is

The Cock in Barford (Norfolk) also let me vape recently.

Added The Cock to the Map. Cheers Crundy

According to my other half, the Rose & Crown in Wrotham TN15 7AE which is just off junction 2 of the M20 is vape friendly. I haven't tried it myself as I'm not a big drinker, my much beloved is a regular there and is trying to get me to go more often so he asked the landlord for me. The landlord said "as long as it's legal, I don't give a ...." From what my other half was saying I don't think the landlord wouldn't have got rid of normal cigs if it had been left up to him.

Bit of an old codgers pub but great fun on Boxing day when the Morris Men perform in the car park.

I was in Malones Irish Bar in Edinburgh last night and asked the bouncer about vaping. He was very friendly and even went and asked at the bar for me. When he came back he waved me inside and said "absolutely no problem". I have added it to my list above.

[MacCumhail]

Added The Washbar to my list. On the Mound very close to the Castle. Very nice location.

The Fat Cat Tap (formerl The Shed) Lawson Road Norwich let me vape yesterday afternoon after a customer pointed me out to staff. Apologising for asking he said "is that ....?"
" no" I said
Smiling he says " fine" and goes back to serving behind the bar.
I was dripping with a silver SD/lr 901 set up...obviously not a fag..

The landlord at the Plasterers pub in Norwich (reopening end of May) says he is happy to allow vaping and be on the CamVip map.

Onwards and upwards.

[MacCumhail]

I have just added two places in Leith to my list. Teuchters was very nice as I got a nice comfy seat and a Guinness. The barmaids in both had never heard been asked but both seemed to know e-cigs don't produce smoke.

Down in Devon recently.

The Devil's Stone in Shebear is fine with vaping and has a "legal on the premises" sign on the door.

Good beer as well.
