Rocket, Putney

Description: A popular Wetherspoon's pub close to Putney Bridge and overlooking the Thames serving up ten real ales, at least one of which is locally brewed, as well as an expanded choice of craft keg beers and cider. A large restaurant area with app service, open from 8am for breakfast, overlooks the river through full length windows while the attractive mock-traditional small back bar and alcoves create a quiet, relaxing and intimate atmosphere for drinkers. The local history panels, dusty books and fancy carpet are reminiscent of early Wetherspoon pubs but the emphasis on the restaurant is a new venture. Local sensitivities mean outdoor seating is restricted to within the ropes. Previously a cocktail bar/restaurant of the same name, closed for nine months, gutted and reopened as a Wetherspoon bar and restaurant on 30 April 2010. Located on ground floor of riverside apartment block built c. 2004 opposite Young’s Boathouse pub.
