It's time to turn up the volume! We're playing in the same band with Signature Brew for one night!
Our beer banquet series is back with 5 dishes perfectly paired with 5 beers, served up family style. Easy.
Join us & two guys from Signature Brew for an evening filled with pub classics & comfort treats with beers that were inspired by the spirit and energy of live music.
... Your evening will start with a chat from one of the founders, Tom and brand rep George, they'll give you all the information you need about the brewery.
Throughout the even you will try new beers and learn about what food it can be paired with. Our chefs Nuno & Anika have spent hours researching to make sure your each dish is perfectly paired. As each dish is brought out our chefs will be here to explain more about the food & where it came from. You will be presented with a beer, for you to learn about why they work well together and what hops and malts bring out certain flavours in the food.
The menu for the evening:
-Studio Pilsner paired with wild mushroom pate with crispy bacon on garlic toast
-Roadie paired with crab croquettes with grapefruit yogurt dip
-Backstage IPA paired with spicy pulled pork sliders & slaw
-Studio Vienna paired with harissa marinated chicken wings, kimchi, mango dip
-Nightliner paired with chocolate tart, coffee chantilly, dulce de leche

Tickets are £17, so make sure you're not missing out on this one!

Popped in for a couple of beers before a show at Bush Hall. Was a really nice pub. Service was great and lots of beer choice. Good prices for London too �

User

Nice selection of beers , ciders and larger London beers !! if you are a gin head plenty to choose , when I popped in for a refreshing beer there's air con !! In a lovely dec out bar copper main feature nice pub on one of the corners of Shepherd Bush Green !! Get in there people friendly bar staff all so .

User

Amazing pub :)) good staff ... nice drinks and nice food ... love the atmosphere each and every time ;))

User

The food was excellent. Good choice of ales. Very vibrant atmosphere

User

Looking for a Sunday lunch in Shepherd’s Bush to end our weekend away. They had pork, beef and chicken in the menu. A little pricey but the food was amazing. We signed up to the pub online and myself and party of four received a free drink also. Will definitely return if I am in this area again.

User

Having just come from the west end where it seems getting a drink is almost an impossibility due to the lack lustre attitude of bar staff, it was a welcome treat to be attended to so enthusiastically even when the place was rammed.

User

Good food. Nice old pub with a great selection of beers and wine. Recommended.

User

Called in as we were going to watch Wigan Athletic play QPR. Very nice place and excellent food....

just a shame we had drinks in plastic cups.

User

Best pub in Shepherds Bush... always have a beer and bite to eat here before a Rangers game, great crowd, good food (but limited vegetarian options) and first class choice of beers.



Can get a bit busy sometimes and they could often use a couple of extra people behind the bar.



NB - you're not allowed in here wearing colours (even QPR colours) nor in the Princess Victoria.

User

Expensive. Had to ask for each pint to be topped up, which is a bit of a bind. Big tv, only the one, in an odd place for maximising the potential viewings. Facilities clean, beer of a decent quality (GBG 2018 and deservedly so) but I'll be looking at other bars first before I return.

User

Cracking pub but service at the bar was poor. Had to wait between 10 to 15 minutes when the place was barely half full.

User

The food used to be great, I especially liked the chicken wings and the mac n cheese balls, but since you got the new chef and changed the menu there are no more chicken wings (staff: stop offering the fried chicken thighs as an alternative, it's not) and I bought the mac n cheese balls today and it's barely cheesy at all.

User

Shocking security, took me 10 mins to persuade them to let me in...it was QPR v Northampton that evening. No colours, CAMRA card but still big problem! Once inside, staff great but beer rather tepid - and in plastic glasses because of the footie.

User

I mean it's a reasonably pleasant pub but Christ almighty it's expensive. You really can't justify over £5 for a pint of Estrella unless it's served in the cup from the last supper

User

After travelling 30 hours from Australia to get to the Defectors last night and be told we can't go in until we prove we have a ticket to the QPR Match was somewhat surprising and disappointing. After finally getting inside we were served very over priced warm beer and gins and tonics in plastics cups. Never again !!

User

£12 for a mojito on festival day. That's an insane price to pay for a cocktail that's mainly ice! Won't be returning

User

dreadful food. anaemic under cooked chips, ribs that had been coated in the w=sweetest marinade ever - straight out of a jar and coleslaw that was just dressing. The poor waitress looked embarrassed. Oh, and the serve beer in plastic cups - this should have been the warning sign. I can't r=see myself returning

User

Your door staff were so obnoxious, just looked as us when we said we hadn’t booked a table - there’s now no chance that I’d ever bother booking a table!

User

Lively atmosphere with lengthy ale and beer selection. Interesting and varied menu! Sorry to say could never get served . The staff was too busy to take our order or acknowledge us at all.

Sat at a table. Went to the bartender and offered to order quickly. Bartender said he would send waitress. She walked by but didn't acknowledge us. Went back to the bar to try to order. Place wasn't particularly crowded.



Two bartenders and waitress were pouring a couple of glasses of wine and two simple drinks. More people walked in.

Couldn't really evaluate food is because we walked out
