First time visiting after a recommendation from a family member, we dine out regularly and this is going to be a new firm favourite! The nicest meal we have had out for a long time!

We were made to feel very welcome, food was served piping hot and you could taste the quality of the produce used.

Thank you for a lovely meal and see you soon ☺️

Dropped in for food whilst visiting my son. The food was amazing. The four of us all had different dishes and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was served hot and not to long to wait. The staff were friendly and polite. Will be going again

Arrived for a Saturday evening meal - we didn't book ahead but were able to get a table. Walked in and ordered an Aspalls Cyder on draught, cold, refreshing and crisp.

The Rifleman never fails to provide homely hearty food with a good service, I ordered a Steak and Ale pie which comes with home cooked chips, seasonal veg and a gravy boat. Service ordering at the bar and when the food was brought or taken from the table was exemplary especially considering it was a busy saturday evening when we arrived, we were informed that there was a large party there but they were able to fit us in between courses so we weren't dissapointed.

The pie had tender chunks of steak with a thick gravy where the taste of a quality ale shined through and a pastry that maintained it's structure, gravy had a good consistency and worked well with vegetables and chunky chips alike. The chips bring back memories to the home cooked ones I had in my childhood.

The Rifleman is worth going out of your way for if you're from anywhere in the surrounding areas.

Just been for Bank Holiday Monday lunch. First visit to The Rifleman but definitely won’t be the last!
The place is welcoming, traditional and comfortable. The Owners are really friendly with nothing being too much trouble. You are made to feel like welcome friends immediately.
The food is remarkable. Quality, taste and portion size are excellent (no exaggeration).
I would recommend a visit without hesitation (make sure you take your appetite 😉)
Lovely experience

Excellent pub for a lunch..we dropped in and was warm and friendly..I had the Steak pie meal which was delishious and a competitive price too.

Good tasty home prepared food.
Only criticism is that I would have liked a lighter bites option of the main meals at lunchtime.
Probably wouldn't return for that reason..

A very nice, tasty home cooked meal was had here tonight. All the food was delicious, the lamb shank was particularly nice. Very decent portion sizes and reasonable pricing. Very nice setting, lovely local village pub feel to the evening. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend visiting here for a relaxed home cooked meal.

Held a celebration of life for my dad today. Staff are friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Buffet food was lovely too. Would highly recommend

Although we live locally we have never tried here, what a mistake on our part. Went today and had two absolutely exceptional meals. Lynda had the lamb and I had the belly pork. Two huge portions arrived and both were cooked to perfection. Service was quick and professional, thank you Rifleman you will definitely be seeing us again !!! Two very happy but full customers.

Out favourite pub when we want a feeling of home away from home. Cottage pie is amazing! You can't get wrong whatever you order. The staff is very kind and helpful. Really lovely sitting outside in the sun and super cozy on a cold winter day to just relax and enjoy a lovely meal.

Booked ahead with the Covid restrictions in place. Got a text message as email confirmation was bouncing, which is great service.

Food was nice and portion sizes were good. Hunters chicken was cooked well and the chips had a great taste to them. It was all done via table service and everyone was very efficient and on the ball. No waiting around for drinks, which can sometimes be an issue with table service.

A nice afternoon in the beer garden, nice weather, with nice food and drink. What more could you ask for on a bank holiday?
