This is a decent pub and quite sports focused, which can mean that it's loud some nights.The service was good too (I only had a drink).Interestingly, if you're looking for one, it's one of the few pubs in Exeter that I've found that has a piano.

The roast was the best I've ever had. The meat was succulent, the veg was perfectly cooked & each of the vegetableshad flavour accompanied to really bring out the best. Beautifully roasted carrots & potatoes, red cabbage, subtle cauliflower & broccoli cheese. Stemmed broccoli, parsnips & wow, the mushrooms!I usually drown my roasts in gravy but I didn't want to affect the stunning flavours of the food. Not to forget the gorgeous Yorkshire pud.Well done the Standoff & thank you for your great & friendly service.

Easily one of the best burgers ever. Top 3. Hot Disco (don't judge me ?) Burger with extra cheese and upgrade to Sriracha fries. Soooooooo good.The staff is wonderful too. And as a sportsbar goes...top marks.

Visited a while ago for the roast, it was average at best, HOWEVER, came here last Sunday and the roast was 10/10!! Had the lamb and it was so tender and delicious. Veg was so full of flavour, the cauliflower cheese had truffle in it! Unreal! And the new addition of a purée was incredible! Such a generous portion, I couldn’t even finish it, as much as I wanted to because it was soooooo good! Definitely coming back.

The place to go for live music. Saw a band called One Foot in the Groove - excellent

Came to watch the Six Nations game with my boyfriend this evening. Brilliant service from all staff at all times - The Pub was heaving and they remained attentive all evening. Absolutely delicious food that we both enjoyed which was promptly served. Lovely atmosphere for the rugby and well managed.

Had our work Christmas party here; great venue. New addition Wingleaders is brilliant…best chicken in Exeter hands down.

Firstly, the good bit. The Guinness was excellent. We had travelled to see the Exeter Munster game and thought it would be a good place to see the Leinster Sale game, the previous night. The game was on numerous screens. T'was a pity that as the game kicked off, the PA was turned up to such a level that the commentary could not be heard. We asked a number of the Serving Staff to have the Music turned down but they all said that "the Manager says no". We went next door to the Black Horse who were more than happy to oblige. (and their beer was much cheaper too!) A very poor show from a so-called "Sports Bar"
