The Stand Off

Great mix of Irish and sports bar, with beautiful décor and friendly staff. Shears a great atmosphere in here. large TV screens throughout, sorting different sportinf fixtures. Highly recommend for both a daytime lunch visit our a lively evening of entertainment. Often live music at the weekend.

Only stopped in for a quick pint on way back o hotel on a Monday night. Polite staff, clean toilets, reasonably priced Lager. Little heavy on the sports bar vibe, but I have to presume the pub has a strong connection to Rugby in Exeter.

Yeah, that was a while ago, had the vegan hot dog this week, WOW! It was brilliant! 7/8/22. Great beach party. Steeno serving . Great beer

Tried to book a table online, got an email back saying:
Thank you for your enquiry, we will be in touch shortly. Please note this booking is not yet confirmed.
A week later I called them only to find out that they hadn’t bothered to do anything with my booking request.
At first they said they had some tables on stand by, then said they were full booked for weeks, then tried to tell me I would have had an email saying I couldn’t book (I never got such email) & I have a reference booking number in my email, then said there system wasn’t working properly (that’s obvious) but apparently I could come in anyway to eat but couldn’t have a table.
We were coming from out of area, visiting someone in Exeter, very disappointed with the way they handled our booking and has left it late in the day to be able to secure a table somewhere else!
VERY POOR SERVICE!!!!
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!

What a great place to go for great food, amazing staff who work so very hard and are really friendly and helpful 🤗 and of course being able to watch the Rugby 😂😂. Well done to you all, especially Chef who's food is delicious 👍👍

Top class excellent..great food nice atmosphere friendly staff extremely helpful!

Had our Christmas Meal here two years running, the best Christmas dinner in taste and presentation, fast efficient service and I can honestly say we’ve never felt so included and welcome, brilliant staff, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble - the stand off is one of a kind, pay it a visit!

Great noisy and boisterous pub. Not the place to come for a quiet drink. It was the Friday B4 Xmas and everyone was in high spirits.
