Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 3 and Version 2 of Defectors Weld, W12 8AA

Version 3 Version 2
== Line 1 == == Line 1 ==
Pub on [[Locale Shepherd's Bush|Shepherd's Bush]] Green.

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. There are four handpumps for real ale, and the Brains SA that [[DrHyde]] had on his September 2010 visit was fine. There's apparently some kind of "club" on Fridays and Saturdays, but mid-week it's busy but not over-crowded, and you don't have to shout to have a conversation.

As of September 2010, food is served noon-3pm and 5pm-10pm Mon-Sat, and Sunday lunch is served 1pm-9pm.

[[DrHyde]]'s verdict: Certainly the best pub on Shepherd's Bush Green by a long way.

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.
