What a night in the Rifle. The Rower's and CAMRA were in at the same time. Over 40 people were in there and Alan managed to serve everyone with his usual good humour.

Early evening visit. Birthday drinks for Gina with Champagne yes!! Champagne! in the Rifle.... oh and a few pints of Fine light before a meal in Hill Town next door.
In Wyatt Street, one of three Goacher's tied pubs. Décor has not been updated for some time, but that adds to the joy of this quiet pub. Light, Mild and Stout on regularly. If you like Goacher's, then come here. Also, if you like a quiet pub with no airs or graces that serves well crafted beers then this is your place. The long standing licensee of nearly 37 years (Alan) left in late February 2015 bringing a phase of the pub to an end. Pub closed for a week then re-opened under new tenants, Matt and Gina who were themselves replaced by Alex and Polly in February 2018. The 3 original handpumps have now become 4. Secluded rear garden. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2016,
CAMRA West Kent Pub of the Year 2016, CAMRA Kent Pub of the Year 2016.
We have visited this pub 595 times, seen 11 different beers and tried them all.
