Pub Quiz at Dr Foster

Dr Foster runs its pub quiz every Tuesday night, and the next one is on 16 November. It's one of the more established quiz nights in Gloucester, sitting right on the docks in the Kimberley Warehouse, and it's built on a pretty standard, friendly format: you get a team together, grab a table, and work your way through the rounds. The rounds cover general knowledge, film, music, sport, food and geography, with a few surprise twists thrown in to keep things from getting too predictable. There's a £100 prize for the winning team, so there's a bit of something to play for, even if you're mostly in it for the social side.

What makes it work is the setting. Dr Foster is right on the Gloucester Docks, so the night has that dockside atmosphere to it, and the quiz sits alongside a rotating craft beer list and a full pub menu, which means you can keep the drinks and food coming between rounds. It's a relaxed pub vibe rather than a high-pressure competition, and the mix of rounds means you don't need to be an expert in any one thing to hold your own — as long as your team has a bit of everything covered, you're in the game.

It runs from 19:00 to 21:00, so it's a decent mid-week one that doesn't run too late into the night. Entry is £4.00 per person, and you'll find it at Dr Foster, Kimberley Warehouse, Gloucester Docks, GL1 2ES.
