The Rifleman

Walk into The Rifleman and you'll immediately clock why locals queue up here. It's got that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in without trying too hard—the kind of place where the bar staff actually know what they're talking about and regulars have their spots sorted. Fourth Cross Road doesn't scream destination drinking, but that's precisely the point. You're getting proper pub culture here, away from the tourist drag near the rugby ground. The real ale selection is genuinely impressive, curated with obvious care rather than just whatever's on the guest taps. Food-wise, expect classic pub fare done right—nothing fancy, everything satisfying.
