This strangely named pub (is "weld" a verb? or is there an apostropherror?) has pretensions. It is "inspired by the spies of yonder years" (yonder?!?!) and boasts on its website about cocktails. Despite this, it's actually a pretty decent pub, and certainly the best on Shepherd's Bush Green by a long way. There are a handful of hand pumps for real beer as well as the usual fizzy rubbish. The Brains SA that DrHyde had on his visit was fine. There is apparently some kind of "club" on Fridays and Saturdays and so it should be avoided then, but mid-week it's busy but not over-crowded, and you don't have to shout to have a conversation.
