Cask was GK IPA, TT LL & Tribute. Keg was Fosters, Guinness, Estrella, Moretti, Amstel, Neck Oil, Stella, Thatchers Gold.
GK pub about 15 mins walk from Sevenoaks station. Entrance is more a public bar where the occupants were occupying the stools around the bar counter in a bare boarded room. Collection of small tables with low stools plus a banquette serving a larger table by the doorway to the larger lounge bar which is served by another similar sized bar counter with the busy landlady moving between both sides. The fire grate opposite the doorway was disappointingly not hosting a roaring fire. A banquette to the side of the doorway served a regular table and there were plenty of seating options over to the left-hand side of this part, together with a pool table over in the far corner. Screen was switched off, and an 80's & 90's pop soundtrack filled the entire space. A couple of picnic benches out the front plus a beer garden out the back unvisited by me as darkness had already set in. Pleasant pub.

Not visited since 2001 when this was our local, this was a pleasant, traditional family-run pub (as I recall) with a good atmosphere in a pleasant residential area and off the beaten track.
In keeping with the name, I remember a couple of old rifles mounted to the wall but the photos on the website show an altogether more modernised affair.
I'd return if in the area.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Rifleman
In many respects, this Greene King house is rather better outside than in. It has a number of benches out front which are pleasant in the sunshine as the adjacent back street has little traffic. On the opposite side of the building, the raised decking offers a substantial covered area plus a separate smokers shelter. Lower down, there is also a basic beer garden with a few further benches. Inside, there is some plain furniture in each bar plus pool table, etc. in the larger back bar. IPA, Old Golden Hen (£3.80), Rocking Rudolph and Tribute available from a total of eight handpumps split between the two bars. Overall, rather hidden away but worth a look if you are in the area.
