Every good pub quiz needs three things: questions pitched between insulting and impossible, food that turns up hot, and a room where your team can actually hear the quizmaster. Gloucester has plenty of quizzes; the ones with all three are rarer. Quiz night at Oakwood Hotel’s Pub in Twigworth is built around exactly that trio.
The Oakwood quiz runs [CONFIRM day and frequency — e.g. every Wednesday] from [CONFIRM start time] in The Pub, our contemporary take on the traditional local. Teams of up to [CONFIRM team size], [CONFIRM entry fee/free entry], with [CONFIRM prizes — bar tab / meal vouchers / rollover jackpot]. Booking a table is recommended — regulars claim theirs early.
The essentials at a glance:
Fair question. The honest answer is comfort and food. The Pub at Oakwood serves international comfort classics in generous portions — the kind of plates a quiz evening deserves — and there’s no parking meter anxiety cutting your deliberation on round six short. Have a look at the full dining line-up if you want to see what the kitchen’s about.
Kayleigh Wright’s review sums up the direction of travel here: “Such a dramatic change to how the hotel used to be. From breakfasts through to carveries and even sports. Will 100% be returning.” The quiz sits inside that same revival — a local worth being loyal to.
And a small contrarian opinion from us: the best quiz teams aren’t the smartest, they’re the most regular. Consistency beats genius over a season. Pick a night, pick a table, keep showing up.
The quiz works fine as a two-hour outing. It works better as an evening:
Teams celebrating something — a birthday, a departure, a small victory over the league rivals — can talk to us about reserving a bigger table or pairing quiz night with a group booking. And if your team includes out-of-towners, there are rooms upstairs with 10% off direct bookings, which is one way to guarantee your best player makes it.
Every quiz has its dynasty team that wins too often. Every quiz also has tables who come purely for the food, the company and the smug joy of knowing one answer nobody else does. Both are welcome. The scoring is honest, the quizmaster is [CONFIRM — human/fair/merciless], and nobody checks your phone under the table — because we don’t have to; the shame system polices itself.
Book your team’s table: call +44 1452 905452 or reserve through our dining page. Follow our Facebook and Instagram for quiz updates and any special editions.
[CONFIRM day and time.] Dates and any special-edition quizzes are posted on our social channels first.
Strongly recommended — regular teams book their usual tables, and walk-ins on a busy night may end up spectating.
[CONFIRM entry fee or free entry.] Prizes: [CONFIRM].
Up to [CONFIRM] per team. Bigger groups can split into rival tables — often more fun anyway.
Yes — the full Pub menu runs through the evening. Order before the first round if you’re hungry; the kitchen gets busy once the quiz starts.
Free and on-site — a genuine advantage over city-centre quiz venues on a wet Wednesday.
[CONFIRM policy — The Pub is family-friendly by day; evening quiz policy may differ.] Call ahead if bringing under-18s.
[CONFIRM format — general knowledge, music, picture rounds.] Pitched for a fun evening, not a Mensa entrance exam.
