Defector's Weld

This summer, it’s all happening in our pub. From late-night DJ sessions, and sun-soaked and boozey courtyard day parties, to karaoke nights and Shepherd’s Bush’s newest (and best) pub quiz, there’s always a reason to swing by.

Pair that with a food menu bursting with BBQ-smokey flavours, drinks for every mood (and occasion), and a private room ready for your next summer shindig, and you’ve got yourself the go-to spot in W12.

This isn’t your standard pub grub. Our menu takes fresh, British and seasonal ingredients and turns them into something a little more exciting.

Think Defector’s Chip Shop, Buffalo Trace BBQ Wings, Drunken Peach Wings (Jubel glazed), and our infamous smoked ox cheek doughnuts. Big flavours, fun plates, and food that’s made for sharing (or not… we won’t judge).

If you’re planning something worth celebrating, you’re in the right place.

Head upstairs to Philby’s, our private space with room for 50 seated or 100 standing, complete with its own bar for a fully exclusive feel. Or, if you’d rather stay in the thick of it, take over space in our front or back bar, where the party atmosphere is always in full swing, especially on Thursdays and weekend nights.

Big birthdays, work parties, or just an excuse to gather the group, we’ll help you make it one to remember.

Our industrial-style courtyard is your go-to for summer sessions. Soak up the warmth without getting burnt (it’s covered), and perfect for long afternoons that turn into late nights.

Drinks flowing, music building, and a buzz you’ll want to stay in all day.
