The Rifleman Pub in Epsom and Ewell

We visit Epsom once a year and always drop in for a couple of drinks, good beer and whiskeys. We didn't eat so no idea how good the food is.

Good pub just good service and beer! All you need!

Always the place we go to when in Epsom. Never found anything better. Sadly, the Rifleman no longer does food.

Popped in on the way home from a restaurant. Beer was well kept and service very good. My wife had a range of gins to choose from. For a Saturday night the pub was quiet so lacked a bit of atmosphere. Still the nicest 'proper' pub in the centre of town.

Dirty barman smoking out back then served me without washing his hands. Disgusting

Always a nice place for a quiet drink

Very overpriced for a pint. That's probably why it was quiet in there

For a tiny pub, it has a great atmosphere, good beer garden and nice range of beers to choose from.

Best pub in Epsom! The draught still cider is wonderful. A small venue with a small menu, but what it has is always the best quality. Very friendly staff.

Underrated. Great place to go for a quiet pint, it has a beer garden and does a decent burger and chips.

Great Garden open in the summer. Still has a covered outside seating area thru the winter. The staff are lovely all year round.

Best pub in Epsom, and it's not even close. Small menu, but done well (nice burgers)

Solid little town centre pub. More charm than the standard GK offering with good burgers and decent music played at the right level. Just one guest beer on at the time (Ranmore, Surrey Hills) and ales well looked after.

Nice small pub. Very ‘locally’. Emphasis on the small. Urinals were out of use. Disappointing pint. Ventured down the road instead.

Mo, Sarah and Shah are great. This is a nice little local pub and beer garden serving great food and drinks. Worth a visit if you’re passing.

Nice pub, unfortunately the don’t serve port, strange as I though all pubs did

Go and visit Mo and his team. Great beers, warm welcome, and a fab choice of music.

Good food and ales good atmosphere friendly efficient bar staff very popular especially weekends still great food still the only decent bar in epsom still the best bar in epsom with best staff still great

The staff are always friendly and helpful you get a warm welcome. Recommend the steak.

We only had drinks and enjoyed the shade in the garden 😎

Good location nice little garden good beer

I haven't been to Epsom Town for about 20 years but this place has remained a good old fashioned boozer.

Very average but does a nice pint of Surrey Hills

Nice local pub with good range of beers.

A great place friendly chatty x good atmosphere

It has a deceptively spacious beer garden out the back.

Great food, Generous Landlord very friendly. Great private garden with shade and smoking area. Used toilet facilites which was very clean and tidy. Would recomend to anyone.

Superb place, We were very well received, the meals are tasty and the beer very good, and what's more the owner speaks French, I recommend and I will return with pleasure

Fantastic pub with great staff and friendly cozy atmosphere .

In the land of flat pints The Rifleman is a rare oasis serving well kept beer in the Northern style using sparklers on their hand-pulled beer pumps. Northern beers are sold in pubs in London and Surrey but usually the request to use a sparkler is met with a blank look - despite the pumps having threads at the bottom of the spout to fit one. The landlord and staff are friendly. The pub is Victorian and has small beer garden out the back.

Friendly, good selection of ale

Always excellent service lovely food cant fault the place

Mo runs a nice little pub, good range of beers, nice food.

A nice down to earth pub decent selection of beers amd simple food to keep you going but cooked and served well. Enjoyed the music too. Had a pleasant simple Xmas night out with friends.

Another old fashioned pub run by landlord, Mo, comfy!

It was OK but undesirable customers swearing non stop means we won't return when there's a lot of other places near by.

This is a quiet and friendly family run pub with a servicable garden and well kept Green Kings cask ales. At the same time I enjoyed a great atmosphere for the Euros a couple of times. Mo is a congenial host and always pleased to see you.

The Rifleman is an awesome Public House & comes with an absolute cracking soundtrack

Excellent for a lunch time beer. London Glory. And a burger. Sitting in the garden on a sunny October day. Shall return

Just a lovely pub not far from station, with great staff and drinks. Garden looked lovely and had a nice feel to it. Would visit again definitely!

A great pub with a really friendly atmosphere and table service which is very honest and personal.

Food is excellent. Friendly atmosphere.

Lovely pub, very well run. We really enjoy the food and would recommend the the burgers and steaks! The service is excellent and staff are all amazing!

Mo is a great host & a great pub

Fantastic pub, knowledgeable staff and very friendly too. We're not that regular, but we're made to feel at home along with the regulars. Great beer too and a nice little garden.

Great local pub with fine ales and good staff, excellent table service.

Lovely pub ... great beer garden ... delightful people and the best burgers in Epsom

I’m proud to call this my local! If you’re thirsty? Get yourself a cold pint of Prava! Lovely staff and the land lord is a legend!

Cozy little pub, decent sized garden with covered area. Tasty homemade burgers and lovely staff, a gem

Nice pub and friendly staff. Good drink selection too.

Fab traditional pub with exceptionally well kept beers by an experienced and old school Landlord who knows his business like a true professional. Small but very tasty menu and more than adequate for a small pub. I had one of my 50th birthday parties there and Mo was an excellent host. Thoroughly recommended as a lovely pub with great beer.

Very good service and excellent staff

Excellent service and covid precautions

Lovely traditional pub, very well kept beers, great lunch food. Very friendly staff. 10/10 recommend.

Great burgers and proper cider!

Really liked this place. Great chilled atmosphere with a great selection of beers.

A place to go if you want to have a proper catch up with your friends. Friendly service and a nice outdoor space at the back. They often play 90s music is a bonus!

Cosy pub with great outdoor space

Clean, safe and polite staff as always 👌

Ss always a good friendly pint in a lovely pub!

Great pub. Very friendly bar staff and a good range of local beers - not just big brands. They serve food too. I haven't eaten there so cannot vouch for it on this.

Bucks the trend - it's like pubs used to be but still enjoys a broad church of visitors - young and old. Very friendly, great staff.

The best Sirloin I have ever had. Great staff. Recommended.

Our local and is great. Bit small and very busy on Friday so lucky to get a seat. Moh the owner and the other staff always friendly and polite. The burgers are outstsning. traditional English pub and love it.

Visited The Rifleman today, had read the previous reviews and was unsure of what to expect However the welcome was warm, the Guinness was excellent and despite the kitchen being closed we were offered a fabulous selection of food as the Chef was still around We had a great steak cooked to perfection Visit this pub it’s great and a little gem in Epsom

Nice little pub . 1 issue tho.. I was meeting up with a friend and we agreed to meet in there , I sat quietly at the bar waiting for me friend then this gentleman came up to me and told me I wasn’t allowed to sit there , I kindly replied why ? He said to me that seat belongs to Ted boy and he’s on his way down so move now, I didn’t want to make a fuss so I moved to the back of the pub, if I knew seats are purchased like a season ticket then I probably wouldn’t of cone in .

Have worked in Epsom for 22 years and have finally settled on a regular pub. If you want a really loud pub with loads of people it might not be for you but if you want a more traditional pub with a good selection of beers, and friendly staff, it's the best in Epsom. We go there every Friday lunch and the Landlord puts out a 'reserved' sign for us which is a really nice touch!

Cosy friendly little pub. Beer garden is also very nice!

Doesn’t serve tradesmen! Because of there work wear. I hope one dates this snobs daughter

Refused entry on the grounds of work wear , I’d only bought my brand new snickers that weak because of all the extra Christmas pud , and as any workman knows snickers are the Gucci of work trousers , and I was absolutely spotless cause I’m lazy and don’t do a lot on Fridays , pub looks run down anyway can’t see why a paying customer wouldn’t be allowed in

Turns tradesmen away for wearing workwear! Only wanted a pint!!! Tradesmen are the back bone of this country, and after a long week grafting all they want is a pint or two. Poor!!!

The worst service ever , went in with some friends , beer was flat and the most unfriendly staff . food was like cardboard , won't return ever .

Customer service no where to be seen Spoke to a gentleman at the bar like dirt for being in work clothes Avoid this pub

Refused to serve a hard working man because he was in his work uniform (which was clean) this is terrible customer service I will avoid in future

My and my business partner got refused a cold beer due to wearing a building company jumper at the time and it being policy not to serve people in work uniform. This is mans oldest right and we wasn’t event dirty. Not acceptable. Your need us to fix stuff but Won’t serve us a pint.

Great character. Small venue. Expensive but good table clearing service. Strong smell of bleach.

OK pub, bit of a throw back to traditional pubs. Small, blokey front bar, can get uncomfortably too busy. Bar staff pretty cold and unengaging. No USP but guess most pubs can be like this?? (Didnt try the food - evening drinks only)

Friendly, old fashioned pub. Nice beers

Reasonably priced and a nice atmosphere

Proper traditional small pub. Nice beer well kept. Mix of people, slightly older age range and very friendly.. Gets busy weekends with a great atmosphere.

Nice little pub. Friendly atmosphere. Find it just a little bit dark inside. Loved the garden in the summer. Good meeting place.

If anyone has read one of my reviews before you'll know I specialise in back street pubs. The Fox I found a while ago on a bike ride along the grand union canal. Fab exterior with those brown and green glazed tills of Victorian era. I'd heard they had done some work and feared they had destroyed the history inside with that gastro destruction. Fortunately although altered it's a good sympathetic make over I approve of. Beer excellent cellar, food simple pub fare well cooked for a reasonable price. Would I meet a girlfriend for a first date there? I did, she loved the place and all smiles.

a bit small very friendly historical due to epsom riots lovely garden in summer

Great place with great people and large choice of drinks.

We were looking for somewhere in Epsom (so I could walk there) where I could order a steak for a low key birthday dinner. The places seem to be few and far between in Epsom so we chose the Rifleman. There was a warm welcome from a friendly barmaid who was happy to discuss the range of different beers on offer. The menu is not extensive but includes burgers, salads, platters (beef chilli and seafood) and steaks. Have had a bad experience recently with how my steak was cooked, when asked how I wanted it cooked I described what I wanted and what I didn't want. The barmaid thought it best to call the chef who came to the bar and discussed it with me. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasty. It would have been nice if there had been a side salad on the menu but in respospect, I think that if I had asked for one, they might have obliged. The beer was good as well. Don't expect cordon bleu, I wasn't but my expectations were met and exceeded. The atmosphere was good with background music that was being played at the right volume. That is we could here the music but also have a conversation. We agreed that we will be going back there in the future.

Favourite Epsom pub. Excellent range of ales, there is always something different.

Small, friendly pub with welcoming staff. They were happy to chat to us about the history of the pub and it's connection to the Epsom riot of 1919. The garden is very pleasant.

The pub is well layed out and the food is very good and it is a nice pub to visit

Cleaner and tidier than most private houses, yet cosy and comfortable – boasting a neatly kept garden / spacious lawn that's sunny all afternoon!

Went in first time. Girl served me a pint of Guinness. Poor. Then yesterday I go in the owner gives me something in a pint glass and says. It may not look good but it will taste good. It was shameful to give this out. Never mind charge me almost five pounds for this pure ____. It's a handy pub to my house but this was twice in two days . If a dark stuff drinker. Steer clear. On the money front. One of the most expensive pubs in Epsom town .

Friendly pub for a beer (guest or other) & a chinwag & definitely try Mo's homemade lamb burgers!! A little pricey for out of town.

Warm welcome from the friendly bar staff, with good food and beer. Great location, just off the high street, enjoy a pint of ‘Rifleman’ whilst she is shopping!

Great beer and a nice atmosphere, best pint in Epsom.

Great friendly pub with a small selection of ales.

Small cosy Epsom pub with historic importance

Good Ales and a great place to socialise. Conveniently opposite Stir if that's your thing.

Good beer & friendly staff and great pub quiz.

Great pub, great food, great selection of ales

Smashing place Mo is a Real gentleman

Great pub with a lovely little beer garden and decent selection of beers and ciders!
