The Rocket Pub in Acton

About This Pub

Ah, The Rocket – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles from the moment you step in. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks absolutely love the beautiful decor and quirky setup, making it feel like a welcoming living room rather than just another boozer. The food steals the show too; think scrumptious fish and chips or a hearty chicken burger that leaves you satisfied, paired with cracking cocktails and a playlist that keeps the energy up for a Friday night sesh. Service-wise, the team sounds like absolute gems, all smiles and efficiency, especially if you're celebrating something special like a birthday. On the flip side, it's a shame the online presence is a bit thin – just an Instagram link, so you might have to wing it for more info. And those operating hours could be a bit of a downer if you're hoping for a proper late-night affair, as they seem to wrap up earlier than you'd expect for a lively spot. All in all, it's a gem for a casual catch-up, but it's worth checking the times to avoid any disappointments – honest chat, it's got more highs than lows, but knowing the quirks helps you plan a top-notch visit.

In summary, I had my birthday party here on Saturday. The staff were so kind, welcoming and charming, and they could not do enough for us. We were there from the afternoon until the evening, so we ended up having some food which we enjoyed very much. Another reviewer said that their chicken burger was dry and I did not have that experience at all. And I'm someone that rarely orders chicken when I'm out because of the amount of times I've had bad experiences with dry, bland chicken. I am happy to report that the chicken in my burger was well-seasoned, moist and succulent, and you could tell the meat was of good quality. I think it might even have been thigh meat, it was that moist, which was a rare pleasure in a chicken burger where you normally get served a piece of breast (and breast can so easily dry out)! Not the case here. My husband had a pork belly dish which he found to be delicious, so much so that he returned the following day to sample their roast dinner. My one note is that the draught beer was unpleasantly bitter and I could not finish either of the half pints I bought (and I opted for a different beer each time so it wasn't a question of my not liking the beer I'd chosen); maybe they need to have a look at their pumps or something. But otherwise, it was a PERFECT day. And once again, I would like to reiterate that the staff were charming. The guy that helped me over the phone and via text when I made the booking was so helpful and communicated well. He kept me abreast of changes and was keen to ensure I was happy with the space I had been given; he even sent me a picture. And when we got there on the day, they were so personable and kind. They create a really special atmosphere, those staff, and they deserve a lot of credit for that.
