Sanctuary Pub Quiz

The Sanctuary Pub Quiz is back at The Crown on Tuesday 17 November, starting at 7pm. It's a proper pub quiz night in the Old Town, with Bruce and Sarah running things as your quiz masters for the evening.

If you haven't been, The Crown is a small independent freehouse at the foot of All Saints Street, a stone's throw from the beach and the bottom of East Hill and the country park. A pub has stood on the site since the 18th century, and the current licensees, Tess and Andrew Swan, reopened it in July 2014. Four years later, it was named the Observer Food Monthly's Best Place to Drink.

It's a cosy, colourful, arty spot. The furniture came from junk shops, friends made the tables, a local blacksmith made the bar stools, and the sign is a sculpture by local artists. The walls give over to exhibitions by local artists, with a waiting list that runs for years, and the snug is used for community events like storytelling, crafts and even haircuts. The cooking is seasonal and made from scratch, with ingredients grown and landed in Sussex and Kent, sourdough baked in the pub, and a bar that leans local with ales and ciders from small Sussex and Kent makers.

So, if you fancy a Tuesday night out, grab a few friends and head down to The Crown at 64-66 All Saints Street, TN34 3BY, in Hastings. The quiz kicks off at 7pm.
