I enjoy Gareth's quizzes and his approach. It is intimate, there is a decent picture round, and likewise a General knowledge round, which have a prize each, but you can't win both (good idea). The food fills a little gap, and there is no skim, the entry money goes into a play your cards right, which is a real plus for the set up.

Very busy pub, but unsatisfying as a quiz for the aficionado, with far too many gimmies. Superb fish pie though!

Customer run quiz, with the winning score being 24 out of 25, it is unsatisfying and unchallangeing, but there's no skim and there is some food, so its a nice night out , but it's no more a quiz than shooting fish in a barrel is Heart Of The Sea

35 questions, 10 'family fortunes', 25 on a bingo card
Food: 5 stars
Wide variey of good, cheap, beers

The pub which has inspired me to reactivate my quiz reviews!

I would definitely rather have a Red Tooth quiz than 90% of the home cobbled stuff you generally get (Notwithstanding the best quizzes are bespoke). Absolutely gorgeous pub, with free food you really would not be unhappy to pay a fiver for. The nature of the quiz is such that anybody can have a go, and I have come round to the family fortunes format in small doses. There are a few throw away questions, but all in all, well worth the visit whatever your quiz standard, and, super staff to boot.

That i didn't give it a '10' is a good thing for most people. It loses a mark for me being snotty and wanting all testing questions, whereas most people want some stuff they can get. Which is what this quiz gives you

Michelle, the landlady of 25 years now cracks on through a load of mainly half decent questions and manages to give a gallon away during the short session. The questions are, I am sure, downloaded, but they are a deal meatier than one expects, consequently much better for the quizologist. It would be nice to have a prize for the most correct answers, and it does seem a little rushed (That is a rare thing for me to say!)
