Planning on holding a Christmas pub quiz for your locals this year but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you. Here is an easy-to-follow guide to make sure your pub quiz is the one to beat.
Pub Christmas decorations
It’s far too easy to go overboard with your Christmas decorations and end up with a flurry of green and red all over the room. First things first, you need to decide on what type of Christmas look you want to achieve. Do you want to go with the classic ‘Deck the halls’ theme? Or do you want a more minimalist and modern theme?
Once you have fixed on a theme, you can move on to the actual decorations. The most obvious and important thing to consider is your tree, as whether it’s real or fake, it’s going to be your centrepiece. You need to select a tree that is the right size for your room; it needs to avoid making the surrounding space feel cramped, but it also shouldn’t get lost in the room. Make sure to add some sparkly lights, matching baubles and fake gifts tucked underneath. As for the rest of the room, here are some decorations to consider:
- Garlands on the bar
- Fairy lights
- Mistletoe
- Christmas wreaths
- Stockings by the fireplace
- Festive bunting
Pub quiz Christmas food
When it comes to food for a pub quiz, you don’t want anything too fancy. The truth is, your food is not the main event today, as your locals don’t want to be leaning over their meals and scrambling to write their answers before their food goes cold. Snacks and small plates are an ideal best option. You can opt for pub favourites like crisps or chips, go for some mozzarella sticks or even get a bit more festive with pigs in blankets. The main thing is to keep the drinks flowing and have a good laugh, after all, it’s Christmas.
Pub quiz furniture
If you can, it’s a good idea to opt for round tables. These are much more inclusive for a pub quiz as they make it easier for everyone on the team to be able to discuss their answers without declaring them to the entire room.
In light of COVID-19, guests may not feel entirely confident about sitting inside, so it’s important that you do whatever you can to make them feel safe. Distancing your tables apart from others is one of the simplest things you can do. Check out our social distancing range for help with this.
Don’t forget about your outdoor space. Although it’s not convenient to hold your pub quiz outdoors in the middle of winter, it may be an idea to ensure that your outdoor space is kitted out with some heaters and blankets to keep everyone cosy and happy if they don’t want to spend all evening indoors.
