Rocket (Bishopsgate)

I had eaten at a Rocket several years ago and thought it ok. Not any more. First in at 6pm on a Saturday so place to ourselves - pumping loud music - just inappropriate.

Perfectly nice staff but one starter never arrived - perhaps the music was too loud to hear the order. The grilled chicken had clearly been grilled some days before and was really poor. I did notice a grill in the kitchen but I don't know whether it had even been used in the re-heat.

Then two pizzas so utterly devoid of flavour; nether crispy and Roman or more doughy and Neopolitan or even just plain nice. The proscuito was salty but otherwise flavourless.

An expensive fit-out, in an expensive location, not cheap food - please spend a bit more on the cooking and ingredients.
