The Defector's Weld

Awesome place.. One of the better pubs in London.. Read a book ... Have a her.. Try the cocktails .. Big place and very nicely done.. Not too loud for a Friday ..

On weekends work till 2 a.m. Nice selection of bottled craft beers (they offer Table beer by Kernel brewery and Steam beer from Anchor brewery in San Francisco). Lagunitas IPA , and 2 real ales on tap .

Good boozer to grab a drink after work. It has comfy seating , large tables for big gatherings and some evenings even DJ . If football or rugby is on they would pull out a big screen !

Perfect Sunday hangout. Great selection of ales . Large portion of chips (£5.50) is enormous and delicious. Only serve roasts on Sundays.

Great vibe. A regular on a Friday night and has good music late on and a nice social vibe.

They have Bitburger on tap ! In fact they have quite a few German lagers

Recently refurbished but hasn't lost its character. A good selection of draft beers and good food too.

Good for pre-gig drinks sesh. Lots of ales , ipas and other beers from interesting small(ish) breweries

Good decor. Clean and comfortable .

Try the snacks menu . Macaroni cheese croquettes are a delicious bite size treat.

The perfect escape from Westfield. Great place for mopey afternoon drinking, given the prison-cage-like booths and the depressing dukebox (Elbow, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen all in a row on our last vis

Good for a young trendy group meeting but the music was too loud . Enjoyed the sharing platter and malbec .

Recover here after shopping in Westfield . Cosy and warm with a good beer selection .

Comfy , friendly pub . Grab a comfy seat by the fire if you can!

Trendy pub with a good selection of beers . Great music selection.

much better than the places near Westfield and only a short walk. away.

Nice beer selection - Beavertown!

Free wifi , accommodating bar staff , delicious food and great selection of drinks. Two thumbs up!

Good upstairs room with big screen for sports events .

Great place for a late-night drink.

Nice pub . Good for pre drinks for the Shepherds Bush empire

Go upstairs. Snugs is heavenly. Great lovely barmaid and all around world onto itself .

Great Sunday Roasts . Bigger selection of food available after 5 on Sunday.

Upstairs, your own personal retreat:) good soup and starters too, DJ solid as well

2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour BUT keep an eye on your stuff there really are thieves operating in this pub !

Useful for a restorative after the horrors of Westfield shopping... Especially on bitter winter's eve.

Excelent fish and chip ????????

The buy one cocktail , get 2nd for £1 thing still exists, but is now 5-7pm Mon-Sat and 5pm-close on Sunday.

The Defector might have to be my new favorite cocktail , way too drinkable!

Try the Mad Goose Ale ! Bitter as we like it

One of the best beer selections in the area

The pies are fab, food is generous

Perfect to go there for a couple of pints with friends before a Qpr match!

Burgers are expensive .. great description on the menu but 1/10 when you get it. Totes fail.????????

Great range of bottles beers but avoid them unless you're made of gold. At £6.10 per bottle they are pisstakingly overpriced.

Excellent post-work pubbage

Open til 2am on weekends.

Service is always appallingly show.
