Pub quiz quest
An appeal to folk living in the Southampton area - can you recommend a good pub quiz?
My team The Sinisters (we are all left handed) has suffered a double blow with two of our regular venues dropping their quizzes.
I've tried Googling but haven't had much luck. We turned up at one place on a dark and rainy night to be told they hadn't updated their website for 6 months and the quiz no longer ran (yes, we will phone to check next time).
Our requirements are modest. A reasonably nice pub, an interesting quiz that doesn't start too late and a cash prize for the winner (not that we usually go away with that!). And we don't mind going a few miles outside Southampton, the pubs we formerly used are in Romsey.
Any suggestions? Quizzical Bob is this one you can help with?
cheers,
Anne

Hi Anne, I'll ask around. I believe there's one in the Dolphin in Hursley but I'll check. Believe it or not, I only do quizzes on cruisesanneed wrote:An appeal to folk living in the Southampton area - can you recommend a good pub quiz?

Thanks Bob, just checked the Dolphin's website and it does have a quiz on Thursdays so that looks very promising.
Providing the website is up to date...

Hi Bob, Alas, one of my team mates can't do Thursdays. How annoying as it looked perfect. So if you hear of any others on a different night please let me know.

Re: Pub quiz quest
Thanks Soton girl, 6.30pm is surprisingly early for a pub quiz but I will bear it in mind.
Bob, mon, tues, wed or sun please.
