About This Pub
Ah, The Rocket Pools Inn in Bilston – it's one of those neighbourhood spots that really hits the mark for a relaxed evening. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the vibe is lovely; the staff and regulars are dead chatty and make you feel like part of the gang straight away. The food stands out too – people rave about the chilli chicken and mix grills, saying they're packed with flavour and come in hefty portions that are well worth the price. Plus, if you're up for some games, the pool table and dart board are just the ticket for a bit of friendly competition. On the flip side, there was that one review where someone got a bit of a rough deal over a simple query about their order, which makes me think they could brush up on handling feedback more smoothly to keep things positive. The hours are a bit restrictive too, only opening from 2 PM, so it's not the place for a lazy lunch or a midnight wind-down. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint and a chat, especially if you're in the area, but I'd say go in with realistic expectations and maybe give them a ring first to sort any details.

It's easy on the wallet, being an inexpensive spot, so you can enjoy a good time without breaking the bank.
-
Delivery is quick and the drivers are pleasant, which is a bonus if you're opting for a takeaway.
Cons
-
There have been some issues with how they handle customer complaints, like one person getting banned just for asking about their order, which feels a bit heavy-handed.
-
The opening hours are a tad limited, starting at 2 PM and wrapping up by 11 PM, so it's not ideal for early birds or late-night gatherings.
-
Without a website, it's a bit tricky to check out the menu or get more info in advance, which might put some folks off.

Nice pub with pool table and dart.
Clearly can’t handle customers complaints as I have been banned from ordering anything else from here on just eat. Just one question for these guys. If you can’t handle customers complaints why are you working in customer service in the first place?! All I did was ask how long my order was gonna be as they are literally 5 minutes from me and was taking ages from when it told me it on its way. I think they’re in the wrong job.
Absolutely amazing food, very delicious, and very friendly delivery driver. I had chilli chicken and the large mix grill and it was the best I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s thinking about ordering from here.
Absolutely amazing food can't fault it, had the large mix grill and it was a large portion absolutely beautiful well worth the money. Fast delivery aswell and pleasent driver would 100% recommend 👍
Went to try it out with a few friends. Great friendly welcoming staff. The locals were very friendly as well. Had a great few hours. Time flew by. Will definitely be going back again in the near future. Worth a trip out for a change. Serves food ring prior for menu options.
