Arrogant petulant staff, only itntetested in serving their mates, ignore anyone else ahead of the queue.

In 1986-87, I was a student exchange from the US attending the University of Exeter. Most Fridays my British friends and I would make the long walk from Lopez Hall down Pennsylvania Ave to "the Blackie" to enjoy a great night. The people at the pub were always nice to we students, despite our youthful noise. I have such fond memories of good times there with Hywel Davies, Lucy White, Andy Bev, Fiona, and the rest of of the gang. I remember that a pint was 90 p back then. Also met a few Royal Marines there, and even met the officer who was paired with Prince Edward when the later left training. Over several pints, he told me what really happened, which I won't share here. I went on to serve in the US Marine Corps for 26 years. During that time, I worked with the British military often, and found that British soldiers were always our best and closest allies...people that you could count on always.In any case, those were fine times, made greater with the passage of time, as I'm no longer a youthful college kid, but a man of 60 years.

Ideally located near the big John Lewis, it's a great place to drop in for a quick bite and a pint. They show all sports, and they are more than happy to put on most televised sporting events. There's a pool table, digital darts and a beer garden too. Beer and food very reasonably priced in my

Last evening I ordered a flat-iron steak from the menu (as I had done on several previous occasions and which I had been very pleased with). What was served to me last night was not a flat-iron steak (i.e. a single steak), it was beef cut up into bite size pieces, looking like food more suited to a child or geriatric. The waiter explained they had been instructed (by head office - ?) to now serve steaks cut up. I can't imagine any steak eater wanting for his/her steak to be served in cut-up pieces. I felt completely deceived, deprived of an enjoyable eating experience and hugely let down. I did not eat the meat. Had I known the steak would be served in cut-up pieces, I never would have ordered it. The waiter was gracious and offered a free drink for my husband and myself. I asked for the cost of my meal to be refunded. He refunded our entire bill. While this was a generous gesture, I will never go to The Black Horse, Longbrook Street, Exeter again after last night's experience. My first choice of meal last night was the fish and chips but these were not available. This was the second experience I'd had of them not being available at The Black Horse. How does this happen for such a classic pub dish? They were showing on the menu as available, and there was no indication (e.g. on a blackboard) anywhere that fish and chips were not available last night. My husband and I went for the meal around 6 pm - I don't understand why fish and chips would not be available so early in the evening. I would not recommend The Black Horse, Longbrook Street, Exeter to anyone wanting to have a good eating experience.

Standard City pub with big screens.Main selling point was that it's not full on Friday evening.200 yards from City centre, so too far out for typical revellers to walk during a night on the booze!

Great service from the start with email communication about the booking and preorder for a group of 14. They didn?t ask for a deposit which I found a pleasant change. Food arrived quickly for the short time we had and everyone enjoyed their meals ranging from toastie to pie and burgers. Thank you we will be back.
