The Defectors Weld, Shepherds Bush, W12

There are four ale pumps in this pub; two of which are unused and the other two were being used for Young's Ordinary and Deuchars IPA (which was ok). There is also a selection of very expensive premium lagers that most of the young professionals seemed to be tucking into. I'm not a fan of these places and even though I actually found the barmaid that served me to be very polite I would rather drink the cheaper more superior beer over the road.

Large pub in various shades of dark brown. Pride & Landlord on tap. Has an upstairs snug bar, available for hire. Serves lunch but not sure of evening meals. Has a real fire on the right hand side, so during cold weather, there will probably be fights for the seats. Back area looks cosy.
