Quiz Tour: #1 The Lord Palmerston, NW5

When Nick the Innkeeper vacated The Darmouth Arms a year or so ago he also left The Conquiztadores bereft of the best pub quiz any of them had ever attended. Untested for many months the team have now re-grouped but is there a pub quiz in North London to match the one they miss so much?

In an effort to find out The Conquizatadores are now on tour. First up was The Lord Palmerston, a very nice pub that's now doing a lot of things we liked about The Dartmouth - film nights, decent breakfasts, good beer. And a Wednesday night pub quiz.

This is how we scored it (out of 10):

Quiz Master 7
Question Quality 5
Competition 6
Refreshments 8
Pace 5
Format 5
Prizes 2
Ambience 7

Other Comments: The quiz also featured a physical challenge (we had to make a model of our favourite food from tin foil). This novel feature didn't square well with some team members' desire for an intellectually rigorous evening of general knowledge questions. We would also have appreciated an announcement of the scores at half-time.

What Did We Learn?

Cutty Sark is Old Scots for short skirt.

This is Kurt Cobain >>

And we really should have known who sings this song >>
