What is a themed quiz night?

Every round is built around one subject, usually a television show, instead of the mix of general knowledge, music and pictures you get at our normal quiz. It suits people who know the show well, and it is still perfectly playable if you have just watched a few series.

Do I need to be a superfan to join in?

No. We write the rounds so a casual viewer can score, with a few harder questions in each round for the people who know every episode. Teams are capped at six, so bring the friend who has seen it all.

How much is entry and do I need to book?

It is £3 per player, paid in cash on the night, the same as our normal quiz. Booking holds your team’s table. Call 01753 682707 if online booking is closed.

When is the next themed quiz night?

We announce each themed night on our What’s On page once the date and the theme are confirmed. Anything already booked in is listed above, with the detail on its own event page.

Are the seasonal quizzes themed?

Not fully, and we would rather say so. A quiz with a seasonal name is our normal varied quiz with a few seasonal questions mixed in. You do not need specialist knowledge for those, unlike a show-themed night.

Themed quiz nights

Every so often we throw out the general knowledge and build the whole quiz around one show. Same £3 entry, same six-a-side teams, considerably more shouting.

What makes it different

Our monthly pub quiz mixes general knowledge, music, television, film and pictures. A themed night does not. Every round comes from one show, so the people who quote it constantly finally have their moment, and everyone else discovers how much they absorbed by accident.

The format stays the same: £3 a player paid in cash, teams of up to six, 7pm start, and a comfort break in the middle. Phones stay in pockets, apart from the interactive round, which you play on your phone. Kitchen times vary by date, so check before you come or call 01753 682707. Parking is free.

Seasonal nights are a different thing

Worth being straight about this, because the names suggest otherwise. A quiz with a seasonal name is our normal varied quiz with a few seasonal questions folded in. There is no specialist knowledge required and no costume needed. If you want a night where every round is one subject, that is a themed quiz, and they are listed above.
