It was easy to find. Decent atmosphere but it was very busy and the service was challenging.

We stopped in for a drink before lunch and the staff were so lovely we ended up staying for lunch and several more drinks! The barman (James) was especially good at recommendations. Food was really nice, friends had DFC chicken sharer which seemed good value for money and the veggie gnocchi was went well with the drinks. Overall good friendly atmosphere and very calm and collected staff.

Visited on a busy Saturday just before Christmas, we were looking for food while waiting for our hotel room nearby to be ready. It was mobbed with football fans, but we were advised to give it 10 minutes and they'd all be off to the game. Sure enough, the place completely emptied and we got a cosy table by the fire. I ordered the Toad in the hole, my friend had the burger. Mine was a little dry but all perfectly edible. Enjoyed a couple of drinks too. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome.

My daughter and I had a great time. Last year and the year before we spent with family but because that was not possible for 2024 we decided at the last mintue to go to a pub. I had a frantic phoning around to find somewhere. Finding space at The Defectors Weld did disappoint. The food was a lot, worth the £75 per person. There wasn't too many people there if anything more guests would have made an even better atmosphere, but it was still great. Thank you so much. Sharon Staples

There were 2 people with dietary requirements and these were catered for well. Its always good to find a nice place nearby so I'm sure we'll be coming here again. Thank you Defectors Weld.

Really on the fence about this pub. It is a gorgeous building and location and has potential, but the music is too loud to hold a conversation, and the service wasn't great. Maybe it's nicer during the day than the evening. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat. I was forced into using the Youngs app to use a coupon I had, and after ordering through the app, nothing came for 20 minutes. After going to the bar to ask, they said they don't see app orders. Seems like a major oversight considering Youngs is pushing campaigns through the app.

Absolutely ridiculous. We arrived for a Pre-FRIENDLY football match. Teams in different leagues. They opened late and then said 'home-fans only'. Not a friendly greeting! It's a friendly game and there is no reason why fans wanting to come in for a friendly game are banned. Maybe put a sign up saying 'Home fans only' in future...and open on time! Pop over to the Sindercome Social and see how nice the atmosphere is.

The transformation of this place since reopening earlier this year has been a complete regeneration of life. It has an inviting outdoor garden, spacious and inviting dining and bar area, and the staff overall are friendly and attentive. The quality of the food is amazing, with good portions at fair prices, a complete change from the pre renovation offerings for those who had been before.

Scotch egg, which we shared to start, was delicious and a very generous size. My partner had the clucking chicken burger which he described as ‘just a burger’ and I ordered the very disappointing ’smashed’ burger. When you order a smashed burger, you imagine it homemade, ground beef in a ball and then ‘smashed’ on the grill, juicy and succulent. What I got was two, bought in, flat, well done patties with the usual trimmings served with the usual fries. It’s a pity because our waiter was friendly and fun and the bar service (one of my big gripes about London) was excellent, fast and friendly. We really liked the pub, its decor, lighting, etc. but if you’re going to have a smashed burger on the menu, make sure it is that, home made and smashed!
