Was Claire K at The Stand Off a mag?
A group of us came to the Stand off to watch the football. The staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and the landlord ? went out of his way to ensure we had the best view of the screen and attended to our table all night. The food was great and reasonably priced. I couldn’t recommend this pub more highly. View all feedback.

What Lucas Mason dislikes about The Stand Off:
Visited after a game at Exeter chiefs. The food was very poor with the chilli being inedible. The service was poor. After the food was delivered we didn’t see the staff again. Meant to be an Irish rugby bar. Didn’t see much evidence if that. Will not be back View all feedback.
