Curry And Quiz Night

Parvin Indian Restaurant in Haxby is hosting another Curry And Quiz Night on Monday 14 September, starting at 7pm. It's a monthly fixture for the restaurant, and the night is a fundraising effort for the Joseph Rowntree Theatre, so your ticket goes toward supporting the theatre as well as filling your plate. Between them, these nights have raised more than £175,000 for local charities.

Parvin itself has a fair bit of history behind it. It started back in 1992 as a small family-run takeaway on Beckfield Lane in Acomb, before moving to Haxby in 2009. They've built a name on fresh, quality ingredients, and if you're not around for the quiz nights, they run a Sunday 'eat as much as you can' buffet for £14.90. The restaurant also picked up The Press Best Curry House title in 2024, so the food is a proper part of the draw here, not just a side to the competition.

If you've never been, the format is exactly what it sounds like: a curry and a quiz, run together in the same evening. It's one of those regular community things that brings people together for a bit of food and some friendly rivalry, with the proceeds going to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre. Tickets are £24.00, and it kicks off at 7pm on Monday 14 September at Parvin Indian Restaurant in Haxby.
