| Went here last Saturday and it was pretty good for a Whetherspoons and the beer was fine. Better than most of the other pubs near Putney high street. PerivaleElvis - 1 Feb 2012 17:09 |
| They don't play music in here or even turn on the TV's volume which makes it feel like it's closed. However the chips are brilliant here so it's great for meals out. No good for a night (or even an hour) out though during the winter, but if the weather permits you to sit outside there is a nice view and cheap drinks. mello - 2 Nov 2011 15:36 |
| First visit here last night. It's just around the back of the church and not far from the hustle and bustle of the main road through Putney. But it feels a world away. The interior is rather modern and a touch eccentric. It is however fairly comfortable and possesses more character than the standard Wetherspoons interior. Beers were John Mallett Kalamazoo Black Silk Oatmeal Porter, Green King Abbot Ale, Stone San Diego Session IPA, Woodfordes Kett's Rebellion, Fat Heads Yakima Sun & Fullers ESB. Ciders & perries from the fridge were Westons Marcle Hill, Old Rosie & Twist with Zingy Ginger, Mr Whiteheads Cirrus Minor, Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon & Sandford Orchards Bumble Berry Cider. I would rate this as a better Spoons than the Railway. blue_scrumpy - 20 Oct 2011 17:47 |
| Great location - especially as it means you can watch the posers in the Boathouse spending a quid more for there beverage. Having said that, not cheap by Wetherspoons standards and it is more restaurant than pub but still a good range and price of beer and wines. papamike - 30 Jun 2011 20:17 |
| Agree with other reviewers. This is a posh Wetherspoons, aimed at the gliteratti and business/professional/ well healed market and does not want some of the chavier types that Wethies sometimes attracts - see the other Wetherspoons pub in Putney, the Railway Arms which can be seriously frightening at times. The Rocket has expensive food - but standard priced drinks -and if you look carefully on the menu you will see that a lot of it is standard Wethies fare with a posh label. But it has a nice location and lots of lovely comfy seats and the staff try to please. One even offered to fetch me a refill from the bar when he saw me sitting in a booth with an empty glass. i would have fallen over had i not been seated. This place must heave on summer evenings. i went at Friday lunch in January &it was literally deserted. mgahan - 7 Jan 2011 13:59 |
