Quinno _ left this review about The Rocket (JD Wetherspoon)
Most confusing Spoons I've ever been in, from the lack of exterior branding through to the labyrinthine interior; the simple trilogy of having a piss, getting a pint and finding a table must have taken me three laps. There’s a cracking view to be had towards Putney Bridge whilst surrounded by a JDW Victoriana-lite interior. Trying to add a bit of character to this modern plate glass building. Top-end pricing, make sure to bring your 50p tokens. Just two guest ales, my Exmoor Beast faded after a good start to a bog-standard NBSS 3. The view gives it an extra half point – 5.5.

Having arrived here at around 10 we were told that they couldn't serve alcohol until 11 on Police instruction. After heading elsewhere we returned just after 11 to find the place packed. I am not a fan of plastic glasses so it was a quick pint and move on. Glad to have ticked it off but nothing to make me want to return.

A new build 'spoons ,the interior does at least wind around and the low ceiling gives a modicom of character.You will need to push around to the semi circular glass glad seating area if you want Thames views,and this was packed with the unfit,infirm and decrepit in a scene that could easily be described as God's Waiting Room.The rest of the interior had mainly high tables and drinking shelves,while the bar was in a dark corner.The ale selection was the regular horror show of Doom Bar,GK IPA and Abbott and London Pride while guests were the ever awful Hobgoblin Gold and Bombardier together with Long Man Copper Hop,Jennings Snecklifter and Burton Bridge Draught Burton Ale (didn't taste of much).
This pub just reminds me how poor some Wetherspoons can be,unexciting guest ales,a depressing vibe and although it maybe cheap,it's cheap for a very good reason .Avoid.
