| Great atmosphere. Olly is the perfect barman. actually volunteered last week to go out in the rain and get us a cab. Best pub in Acton. We try to go to other pubs...and always regret it. Other pubs to not compare well to The Rocket for the all-round experience. holby - 28 Feb 2010 07:38 |
| This is my local and it's pretty good. In general I go to pubs for a pint rather than for food: the Rocket succeeds with both . Rarely have I had a bad pint and when that's happened, it's been changed without fuss. Beer choice is better than average pubco-standard, with Pride, Landlord and Harveys the offerings. Would be nice to see another guest ale from time to time, but maybe Acton punters aren't that fussed. The jewel in the Rocket's crown is the food. Under previous ownership it was good but a bit pricey. But now the food is still really good and the prices have been cut. It must be one of the best value eateries in the south of England. The service is excellent: really friendly, efficient and definitely scores 10 out of 10. If there's a down-side to this pub, it's the audio system in the main bar. The speakers are tiny and tinny, the sort you could buy for a tenner a pair. After a while this grates, which is a shame because the variety of music played is varied and interesting.

| Charming staff, good ambience, really good food and an upstairs room that hosts the local book club, two film clubs, stand up and sometimes gigs. Selection of wines including prosecco as well as well-kept beers. Even a kids menu saran - 9 Nov 2009 12:15 |
| I recently visited the Rocket with a few friends on a fine Saturday afternoon. The real ales were good (i.e. Sussex Best Bitter, London Pride etc) and the atmosphere was nice outside. The meals were good too (although the steak and garlic butter was nothing special). An insect crashed into my half-drunk pint and I asked the bar staff for a spoon to help get it out. However, the thing disintegrated when we tried to get it out. At that point the barman went and got a strainer and tried to repeatedly strain the leftover beer. Finally, the owner/manager(?) saw what was happening and replaced my pint in full. After the nonsense with the strainer, the owner/manager(?) had saved the day and I left a happy customer after an enjoyable day. That's the kind of service that keeps people coming back and I'll be one of those people. The_Real_Alestralian - 1 Oct 2009 21:25 |
