Has just reopened under new management. They’ve done a tasteful refurb. Beers were varied, lots of craft ale options alongside a couple of traditional ales. Good wine menu. Staff are lovely and friendly. Food-wise we only tried the pork pies (loved the veggie ploughman’s one) but an interesting table food menu. Belper already has a lot of great pubs, but another one is always welcome!

Been a visitor to the Riflemans for a while since the refurbishment. Lively, busy, friendly and traditional pub with good choice of ales. Landlord and landlady very welcoming. Well worth a visit.

Rifleman's Arms is a nice-enough traditional pub in the "centre" of Belper, Derbyshire. Unfortunately, the area is full of other, much more interesting places (trad, craft & bars), so at least for the real ale enthusiast, there's no real reason to go there. 4 hand pumps were available upon my visit: two were occupied by the dreaded Marston Pedigree, one was empty, and the fourth featured an undistinguished low-ABV golden ale called "Falstaff 3Faze" - or something like that. I chose a 1/2 pint of the latter - it was warm. I had asked the woman behind the bar about it before I ordered, she said she knew nothing about it since she didn't drink beer. That's always helpful.... Anyway, as such the pub itself is tidy and comfy, more of a typical small community boozer. Prices are moderate. But Belper has so much better to offer ....

During a Belper drinking session this was a good pub with agreat atmosphere on the main road through Belper to visit, very good choices of alcohol served by friendly staff, traditional English pub décor, well worth a pint.

Always worth a visit, the Riflemans Arms is a great little pub, serves a great pint of beer and has very friendly staff. The pub is also dog friendly, a good venue to watch the footy and generally a nice place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of a friendly 'local'...
