| Totally agree with the last review. Even the food has gone downhill of late (the burgers used to be pretty good), so now ther's no redeeming features to speak of; never had a problem with the doormen but the bar staff are the rudest I've ever come across - even when there's hardly any punters at the bar, there could be four of them behind it ignoring the few poor sods who are actually waiting. You'll see them walking around, moving bottles in the fridges for no apparent reason, chatting amongst themselves, anything but actually serving customers. When they finally do get round to serving, they don't give a sh*t about who's been waiting longest. I've known them to actually 'forget' to return your change (!) and I honestly can't remember the last time I saw any of them SMILE! :) The pub itself looks nice but it would be nice if they'd wipe the tables down every so often as they're usually filthy. This could be a great pub (esp. with the cosy snug bar upstairs which does live music) but they've got to sort their lives out first; as it stands, avoid it like the plague as it really is P*SS POOR!

| I'm not going to have a go about the BBC types, especially given the lack of choice in the area. But what I really can't stand is when bar staff leave you standing there for ages, and just rudely walk past going nowhere in particular. I end up in here before going to the music venue but in future I'll take my chances elsewhere. What does it really cost to just say 'be with you in a minute'??? bethm - 5 Sep 2008 17:34 |
| Wow three bad reviews in a row. This pub doen't deserve that. If you don't like BBC types then drink somewhere else, if you wear 3/4 trousers on a friday evening then go to the Walkabout and if you want to buy 'a pint' of coke and watch everyone around you drink alcohol so that you can cry and make everyone at your next AA meeting really proud of you then please don't do it here. I've been a regular at the Defectors for a couple of years now and i'm rarely disappointed. The bouncers have always been friendly towards me and my friends, the staff can be a bit straight faced sometimes but thats normally when they're very busy and the drinks/food are always tasty and good value. I recently reserved their 'snug bar' upstairs for a colleagues leaving do and we had a great night. If your looking for a great pub in Shepherds Bush then this is it - closely followed by the 'Goldhawk'. good_pubs_are_rare - 30 Aug 2008 01:12 |
