The Defector's Weld, Shepherds Bush

I ended up in here last night to meet friends before the placebo gig, and from having mediocre food experiences here before, passed on food. My friends didn't however and when their food came out I wish I hadn't either. The food was really good (this gathered from the look and smell and stolen mouthfuls.) Apparently they have got new chefs, but whether they are new or just got their act together, they have put that pub back on my favourite list.

The Lock Tavern, Camden

I love this place. Okay, the toilets leave a bit to be desired, but apart from that it's a great pub. I've been drinking in here for years and have always found the staff really friendly. Maybe if some of the less satisfied reviewers were to try and be a little patient, maybe even friendly themselves, they might just enjoy themselves.

The Defector's Weld, Shepherds Bush

A friend of mine had her birthday here on Sunday and had booked a table so we didn't have any problem getting a seat, but I can see how it would get difficult.
Was excited to see roast pork on the roast menu as most places just do the standard beef or chicken, not as excited about the price, but once I had eaten it... definitely worth the extra quid!
They also had a DJ on in the afternoon and a cocktail special that meant you could get 2 Mojitos for �8!! Needless to say, ended up staying till quite late and didn't feel too great at work today!
All in all, really like this place.
