Monday pub quizzes in Stratford
The Windmill
The Windmill’s weekly Glo-Quiz starts at 7pm, the earliest start we’ve found in town. It’s £3 a person for teams of up to six, with prizes. The pub’s post asks teams to get booked in, so ring first. Best for: a bigger group and an early finish. See The Windmill’s page for contact details.
The Phoenix
The Phoenix calls this its “slightly silly quiz”, and it leans towards films, music, video games and pop culture rather than general knowledge. It starts at 7.30pm, there are weekly jackpots, and the bar says booking a few days ahead is “highly recommended”. Call 01789 631036 or see its what’s on page. Best for: pop culture fans who’d rather skip the capital cities round.
The Bell
The Bell in Shottery runs a pub quiz every Monday. Its page doesn’t give a start time, but says tables are available from 5pm on quiz night and most quizzes last about two hours. Book a table online or call 01789 269645 to check the start time. Best for: getting a table early and making an evening of it.
Tuesday pub quizzes in Stratford
The Old Thatch Tavern
The Old Thatch’s quiz starts at 8pm and costs £2 a person, with cash prizes, according to the pub’s poster. It’s right in the town centre on Greenhill Street. Call 01789 612319 or see its what’s on page. Best for: a quiz in one of Stratford’s oldest pubs.
The Bull
The Bull’s website lists a general knowledge quiz every Tuesday at 8pm, at £2 a person, with cash prizes and a rollover. It began in January 2025, and CAMRA’s listing mentions regular quiz nights, but the newest quiz post we could find from the pub is from October 2025. Call 01789 507676 before you go, or see its events page. Best for: a proper general knowledge quiz in Old Town.
Wednesday pub quizzes in Stratford
The Stratford Alehouse
The Alehouse’s Fun Quiz Night starts at 7.30pm, at £2 a person with up to four in a team. There are cash prizes and “snack-prize” rounds, and on 4 November the rollover stood at £250, the biggest prize we’ve seen advertised at a Stratford quiz. It will change from week to week as it’s won or grows. The pub posts its quiz news on Facebook. See its website for opening hours. Best for: chasing a jackpot in a small team.
The Bishopton Arms
The Bishopton Arms, the former Squirrel, announced that its quiz was back on Wednesday 21 October, after its refurbishment, followed by a game of higher or lower. That night was also its 2-4-1 pizza deal. It didn’t give a start time or say whether the quiz is weekly, and an older CAMRA listing has it on Sundays, so call 01789 551125 first. Best for: a local pub away from the town centre.
A quiz just outside Stratford
The Snitterfield Arms, about three miles north of town, holds its quiz every other Tuesday at 7pm, with teams of up to six and prizes. It doesn’t say which Tuesdays, and asks teams to book, so call 01789 647388 or see its what’s on page.
