Gourmet Pub Quiz Night
A staple of British weeknight entertainment, the humble but ever popular pub quiz has been breaking new boundaries recently. Held everywhere from traditional boozers to gastropubs, they’re a fantastic way of getting people out of the house to spend a fun evening with friends, and maybe even making new ones.
Dynamic food writer Sudi Piggott is taking the pub quiz in to the future with her recent success at Westminster’s Cinammon Club, where canapes, cocktails and a three course meal were served up along with the questions. It makes sense to bring great food in to the pub quiz equation; quality snacks and drinks can certainly make or break an entertaining evening and why not make a night of it?
What do you think? Is gourmet quiz night taking it too far or would you prefer canapes to chips? Can you recommend your best local pub quiz?

I’d prefer canapes with my cocktails (sounds posh), rather than soggy crisps and over wheated stick-to-the-floor beer with my quiz experience. I think there should also be a re-stratification of prizes. The top team per round get to have that course on the other teams. So if your team fail to get through to the next round the forfeit should be to have to pay for your competitors dinner. Harsh? Well perhaps, but hungry minds work better compelled by decent dinner.
The ultimate prize would be to see which team can get all 3 courses without having to pay!

I think this is a fantastic idea! Looks like lots of fun…
