One of the Capital's best known oyster and fish restaurants, it has recently been completely remodelled by its new owners. Among the innovations they have introduced is a bar in the basement which is ideal for smoking an after-dinner cigar. Edmund Farrow, Scott's resident director, is the man with his finger on the pulse of London's restaurant scene. He understands only too well that many of his more enlightened customers treat their postprandial cigar as the essential conclusion to a fine meal. As a result the restaurant offers its clientele a full range of cigars from mild Upmanns, to medium powered Romeo Y Julietas, up to a full-strength Bolivars or Cohibas, as well as wide selection of the ever popular Montecristos. One of Scott's sommeliers is particularly well-versed in cigar-lore and can discuss the qualities and service of fine cigars with interested guests.

Although the downstairs bar would appear to have been specially designed for the enjoyment of cigars, Edmund Farrow is quick to point out that it is quite fortuitous. Although there are no smoking restrictions at all at Scott's, the bar is especially comfortable and has individual areas to provide some degree of privacy that might be required by gentlemen putting a business-deal together over their cigars.
