Defectors Weld in Hammersmith and Fulham

Nice pub on the Green. Does what it says on the tin. Soldered me perfectly to my pint

Sam, Molly, and Rob are the best bartenders ever! So nice and coming back ASAP to see them!

Myself and my friend hired the function room upstairs for our joint birthday party. The room was absolutely perfect and the barman, Dorian, was fantastic. He and the team were super helpful and made sure we had the best evening. Thank you Defector’s!

Went for their Christmas meal with colleagues and very happy with the food and service. Thanks a lot.

Recently had our staff Christmas Party at Defectors Weld. They accommodated our request for the private bar upstairs, we had the whole room which was festively decorated including Christmas Tree :) The food was great and service was friendly and efficient. Thank you guys for a great team Christmas Party. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to book again for future events! Special thanks to Robert for looking after us all!

Absolutely ridiculous situation at the door. This used to be our local pub but not anymore . The two guys working at the door are extremely rude Never gonna step my foot in there not when I am treated like this ! AVOID and actually go to a friendlier proper pub ( last time I was in the garden the one bouncer actually came to tell someone to turn their hut around !) I mean .. how posh do you thing your place is ??

Yup, only in for a couple of hours and didn't eat but the staff were really effective and happy which made for a good atmosphere.

I came here on 4th December with my work colleagues for our Christmas lunch. Everyone was impressed with the atmosphere, great decor and great music and Christmas crackers were also provided! The food was amazing, we all cleaned our plates and service was excellent. There were 16 of us and everything went smoothly. 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.

Great selection of beers and nice atmosphere

One of the few places near White City that feels like a proper pub.

Good selection of beers and lagers and food

Didn't eat there so can't comment. Very welcoming. Loads of space but still feels cozy. Lovely outside sitting area too. Would definitely recommend!

Great pub, with a great name and a cozy but lively vibe. Perfect for catching up with friends over drinks or over a quick bite.

Poor service,miserable waitress,table not big enough for 3 people and 16.50 for a small burger and a portion of oven ready fries was a rip off.really wasn't what I was expecting and was really disappointed should have gone to McDonald's it's better value.

Went in for a pint, had a nice sit-down.

Pub in zona Sheperd Bush. Pub molto carino, siamo andati un gruppo di amici, abbiamo mangiato molto bene e prezzi nella media.

Dejar bebidas para un amigo. El personal es amable, la música es genial y hay una chimenea! Además la comida es muy sabrosa. . . . esperando con ansias la próxima visita : - )

We went to this pub and we were pleasantly surprised by the prices of the beers, which were quite affordable. So we stayed for several tours. Very friendly bar, with an interesting musical atmosphere. The staff was also very attentive.

We had the best time in the private room at the defectors weld, our bartender was incredible

Perfectly decent place to have a few drinks. Service was pretty rapid even at busy times, pleasant vibe, quite comfortable.

Good god. The wait for food here was mental. Tortoise speed 🐢 food was alright - but my expectations were sky high after an epically long wait pre-match, and then shattered by slightly fishy fish. Beer was good as was the bar. Food was utter chaos.

Despite being a busy evening when we visited the staff were friendly and great at their job. This venue is very reasonably priced

Robert Vidmar cuidó maravillosamente de 28 visitantes canadienses, que cayeron inesperadamente. Muy profesional, cortés y cortesía completa extendida. Esto ocurrió en tres ocasiones, durante nuestro viaje de 10 días a Londres Inglaterra desde Londres Ontario Canadá. Gracias a usted y a su personal bien capacitado. . . . higginsgr@bmts.com

great atmosphere. beautiful pub

Sam was great and the beer selection is decent

Such a great place. Came here twice while staying in Shepherd's Bush. Our server was fantastic and we loved this place. Highly recommended!

We tried a fish dish to share between 2 for £25. Very good atmosphere, recently renovated with a beautiful interior patio and spectacular smoking fireplace. Very warm.

Classic British pub with a cool name.

Gran servicio al cliente por Zharnai e Immi que eran tan fantásticos, atentos y amables. Las alas en el menú son las mejores alas que he tenido en mucho tiempo! por favor mantenga eso en el menú, muy subestimado y delicioso. Gracias

Went for a Sunday roast catch up with my family. Great food, attentive friendly staff and reasonably priced. An added bonus, no TV. We had great fun relaxing, chatting and eating.

The best Guinness I had in London

Really nice pub with some charming and cosy vibes. The music gets turned up very loud however which gets overwhelming and makes conversations difficult.

This is a good one. Cool vibes, decent food and great service. You'll like it! Particularly liked the big cat / banana / musician themed wall art.

Very comfortable seating area indoors and outdoor area is cool 😎

All good except the fact they pulled the Guinness in one go without letting it settle first! Don’t know why but… hopefully will sort this out. Lovely outdoor area at the back.

I recently visited Defectors Weld and loved the lively atmosphere, as well as the unique outdoor courtyard with its glass roof and vintage lighting. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Good place!! The food, service and atmosphere is excellent. I would like to highlight the service of Jaime, who made us feel very good and comfortable. Without a doubt we will come back.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Defector's Weld, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The pub’s eclectic decor and welcoming vibe make it a great spot for both a lively evening or a quiet afternoon pint. The spacious layout with comfy seating and quirky artwork adds a cool, laid-back charm. Thanks to Jamie’s warm hospitality, I’ll definitely be back for another visit soon!

This restaurant is a great spot to relax and enjoy a variety of drinks, from cocktails to wine, in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional, particularly thanks to our attentive waiter, Jaime, who made the experience memorable with his friendliness and excellent recommendations. Highly recommended for both the drinks and service.

Good food, excellent drinks and really great service. In our case, we were attended by Jaime Barros, I recommend letting him guide you.

Lovely place to chill out in shepherds bush. Zharnai makes an excellent Bloody Mary, nice and spicy, perfect to start your day after a night out. Cheers

Great place to go for drinks and grab a bite. Jaime’s service was amazing!

(Jaime) What a good service from Jaime , really helpful, kind and patient best pub I would come back and recommend

(JAIME) WHAT A GOOD SEERVICE FROM JAIME, REALLY HELPFUL, KIND AND PATIENT. BEST PUB, I WLD COME BACK AND RECOMMEND

Jaime provided top-notch service, being very attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. This pub is great, and I won’t hesitate to recommend it

Jaime provided exceptional service—he was incredibly helpful, showing a genuine willingness to assist with any requests. His kindness and patience stood out, making our experience truly enjoyable. The pub itself is fantastic, with a welcoming atmosphere and great amenities. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.

Jaime at Defectors made our visit truly special. His warm welcome, expert drink recommendations, and friendly service made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this pub for both the quality of the food and the outstanding service. I’ll definitely be back!

Good atmosphere, good drinks and above all excellent service from Jaime. I hope to return soon and I will definitely recommend it to all my friends.

Had a wonderful evening in the defector’s. Staff are very friendly and help. Had fantastic service from Jamie. Thank you :-)

A great find! A very friendly atmosphere and welconing staff (especially Sam), good beer and proper good food

Really lovely pub just few mins from station. Great customer service and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the smashed burger and tasted amazing, was greeted by Ryan, he was very handsome with a gorgeous smile.

Popped in the other night and what a place. With a substantial beer collection you are spoiled for choice. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in their suggestions on what to go for. And the food portions are enormous. I will be returning very soon

Well located pub, with good service, great music. Close by to the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire for hanging out after gigs.

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.

Wonderful place in Shepherd’s Bush ~ we loved the food and service. Immi is fabulous!

My friend & I are in town for the Era’s Tour to see T. Swizzle!! We stopped into the Defector’s Weld immediately after landing at Heathrow airport. We were tired but the friendly service, authentic local pub vibes, delicious beers & incredible fish & chips perked us up! We had such a good experience at Defector’s Weld, and since were only in town a couple days, we decided to go back for dinner and lunch the very next day before the concert! We also tried the Pie on the menu and it was our best meal of the trip!

back again! Great pub, Zharnai was wonderful☺️

Had a lovely waitress Lydia serve us lunch today. Exceptional service, very charming and attentive. Would 100% recommend coming to this venue!

Hired out the private room for my engagement party and since its renovation last year its only got better. All the staff were very attentive and happy to help. The food was delicious too! Thanks for a great venue. Ill be back for the next one!(P.S Andy is the best)

Great atmosphere. Served by a waitress called Lydia, very attentive and humorous. Will definitely be back for the food (and Lydia).

It's expensive but a tidy pub if you're going to see a band up the road.

This pin has a great atmosphere and really friendly staff - we met the lovely Ryan who was smiling and helpful with our menu choices. The food was so tasty and plentiful we loved it. Great pub in Shepherds Bush and our first time here.

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.

Great pub with amazing food! Highly recommend The Defectors burger with Ox cheek and anchovy mayo.

Absolutely recommend this gastro-pub. Lovely, friendly, professional staff. Excellent food, beautifully presented. We shared the ‘Pitmaster’, really superb. Great selections of wine & beers on tap. Can’t recommend highly enough, well done

Amazing service from sam, great time had by all the family thank you Sam! Hope to return soon to the same friendly faces :)

Tejas served really well. Had a wonderful time there.

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. I'm glad I went for the Sunday roast and experienced the change to this pub and will certainly be returning.

Immi was absolutely AWESOME! 31 degrees and the hottest day of the year , roads were melting as were humans .. like an oasis in the dessert immi welcomed us into the weld with open arms .Immi had excluded an aura which seemed just perfect for the perfect day we were having at nearby Westfield.Immi was very attentative and looked after our fussy needs perfectly, we cannot praise this amazing woman enough as she rounded our amazing day amazingly . Thanks Immi

I had a great time, I was served by an amazing girl called Sam. She was super helpful and friendly and made my experience really lovely.

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!

Had a great time with friends catching up. Sam was the best bartender and made us feel really welcomed. Would definitely return.

Had a great experience. Tried the smash burger and the katsu fish finger sandwich—both were absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection, while the katsu fish finger sandwich had a unique and flavorful twist. Great atmosphere and friendly staff made the visit even better. Highly recommend!

That guy named Tejas was very friendly and served really well . An amazing place to hang out, food was amazing. 😀

Wonderful experience!!! Tejas served really well!

Services provided by Tejas were amazing! Really loved the place!! Definitely recommend the fish and chips.

Fab pub with a very upmarket feel. Reasonably priced as well

Go served by Sam she was a star! Very kind and nice. Amazing service from her, made me want to come back gain. Very happy with the evening.

Food was great and the staff their were so nice and lovely. In particular Sam. She is an angel. She served us and made sure everything was fine. Thank you Sam

One of the best place I ever experienced. The services offered by Tejas were brilliant and unforgettable!!

Perfect. Great drinks and great food big thanks to sexy blonde arina

I loved everything there. The food and drinks were amazing, the atmosphere was very cozy and services were excellent, especially by Tejas, the bartender.

Rad place with an amazing staff.

Nice place for a night out. Certainly an amazing service by tejas!

Fantastic place! Tejas provided an exceptional experience!!!! His warm and welcoming service, combined with his expertise and friendly demeanor, made it an unforgettable evening for my family and me.... I can't wait to visit again soon!!☺️

Such an amazing place and the services offered by Tejas were excellent!!

Great place for drinks and dancing on a Saturday night! Looking to celebrate my birthday there tomorrow evening with friends!

We had our joint 60th birthday party in the private room upstairs. It was a wonderful evening, the manager on duty was really helpful and the second person behind the bar was great. At the start of the evening the alarm kept going off but that was sorted and we then danced the night away. Thank you Defectors Weld for enabling us to have a special evening.

Beautiful pub!! Loved this place! The food was yummy and our bartender Sam was amazing!! So friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this lovely pub and I hope you get to meet Sam too!

The best barmaid ever. She remembered my drinks order from a week ago. Friendly and approachable. I look forward to seeing her when I come to the pub.

Julienne gave me amazing service with all the perks😉

The bartender with curly and glasses had excellent drink for me and my family we hope to return again before our holiday ends 👍

Savanna is super rad. Awesome spot to relax. Great beer and always fresh.

I love the Sunday roast at The Defectors Weld, the pub was refurbished last year and there's a nice vibe overall. Though this time around I was a little disappointed by the size of the beef roast, they usually give a good portion, and though there were plenty of veggies, I only got a small slice of beef, while every other time I had at least two. Also, my friends went for the chicken roast and they had half a chicken on their plates... I think it'd be nice if portions were fair for the beef as well, as £20 Sunday roast for veggies only (or almost) is a little pricey... But, the Sunday roast, both beef and chicken, are really nice and tasty, probably one of my favourites in London!

This is my fav go to place whenever I’m near Westfield. I love the atmosphere there. I was served by Savanna this time round. She gave me great recommendation for the drinks! Great service by her

A young fellow who serviced called Julian was wonderful very helpful and kind. What a tall man will be back with the kids

Lovely place with a great beer garden just a shame about the service. Blonde girl behind the bar wearing leather was so rude after waiting 10 minutes for a drink

This pub is great, with the nicest prosecco I have ever had and a good pint of Guinness too (according to the other half)! Nice chilled vibe, great music and lovely staff. Shout out to Zian and Zharani who were fabulous, friendly and a pleasure to meet - so great I asked for their names to include them in my review! Thanks ladies for being so welcoming!

Thank you Arina for the great service.

I really enjoyed the quality time. I would like to mention Arina and thank her for her efforts. Will certainly visit again.
