About The Rifleman
The Rifleman is a traditional neighbourhood pub situated on Fourth Cross Road in Twickenham, just a short walk from the town centre. Part of the Twickenham Fine Ales family, it offers a well-kept selection of real ales and beers in a relaxed, convivial setting. With live music on Thursday evenings, a garden for warmer weather, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, it draws both long-standing regulars and those discovering it for the first time. It is the kind of honest, unhurried local that feels increasingly rare and all the more worth supporting.
