the rocket

The food here is brilliant, although it could do with a better atmosphere at times. Maybe some music playing would help..

have had 3 amazing meals here and enjoyed everyone. cant fault the food at all, it is always great and fresh. service is always friendly and food served quickly. best place to eat in acton by far

Lovely for lunching with work colleagues. Sounds odd, but the efficient service we had on the 20th May meant that all 10 of us (we didn't arrive all at once, either) finished in record time, and sloped back to the office muttering about having work to do! Just not on for a Friday afternoon. We don't normally have that problem with the pub across the road, as the food takes longer to arrive, giving everyone a chance to shoot the breeze and chat.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken breast burger and chunky chips; I'll probably be sampling the fishcake next time as I hear good things (through mouthfuls) about how good it was.

Nicest pub in acton. Friendly, tolerant staff, lovely grub... could do with a bit more of an atmosphere though.. but can't complain too much - it's within staggering distance of my doorstep.

We love the Rocket - the local gastro-pub: good wine and food - the double baked cheese souffle is the perfect starter. Roasts a bit mixed.
Lovely people - staff and clientele and really varied.
Decor and people all welcoming.
Sports events shown if they are HUGE - ie the world cup - but not all the time

And a great room upstairs used for comedy nights, music, life-drawing classes, film clubs, poetry evenings and book club. Plus meetings and parties. A real community hub.

This pub is lovely! It has a very spacious feel to it and all the tables are wide and spread out nicely so you have lots of privacy and space to sit. There are two main rooms, the first one leads onto the second one and both are as nice. The food is really good and they have a very eclectic menu with lots of different things- mainly with a very continental feel like Spanish chorizo and Sardinian bread. It’s right next door to Acton Central train station so very easy to get to and it’s a stone’s throw away from Acton Park if you want to go for a stroll afterwards.
