Looking for a Cheltenham pub quiz? As a self-confessed pub quiz nerd, I’ve pulled together a list of all the pubs offering pub quizzes around the town by day of the week. I’ve been to most of the below, and have included all the information I can find below. It’s best to check with the pub you’re planning to visit for the latest updates on start times, entry fee, and whether or not the pub quiz is going ahead. If I’ve missed any from the list, drop me a comment so I can add them in.
Check out my guide to the best pubs in Cheltenham
Cheltenham pub quiz on Sunday
The Exmouth, Bath Road
Held every Sunday, The Exmouth’s pub quiz takes place each Sunday at 7.30pm. It’s on the cheaper end of the scale, at £1 per person entry. This pub quiz gets busy so I highly recommend booking ahead – conveniently, you can actually book via their online system. It’s a competitive quiz, and good fun to battle it out with some of the other brains on Bath Road.
The Old Restoration, High Street
The Old Restoration’s pub quiz takes place each Sunday at 8pm with a cash prize. They often have a number of offers on food including sharers, so it’s a good idea to arrive early if you fancy some pub grub before getting your thinking cap on.
The Royal, Horsefair Street
One of Charlton Kings’ favourite pubs, The Royal, hosts its pub quiz every Sunday. A little tongue in cheek, it kicks off at 8pm, and you can conveniently book your quiz table via their online booking system. Costing £1 per person to enter, all winning proceeds going to the Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, making their pub quiz a great cause too.
Sandford Park Alehouse, High Street
Kicking off at 7.30pm every Sunday, Sandford Park Alehouse hosts a weekly pub quiz. As well as an evening of trivia, they also have a game of Play Your Cards Right after the quiz. You can simply buy a raffle ticket for £1 and if it’s drawn, you can win the cash pot – it rolls over each week. The pub quiz itself costs £1 per person to enter. What’s even better is that you have a wide range of tasty beers to enjoy while you quiz!
The Tivoli, Andover Road
Every Sunday from 7.30pm, The Tivoli hosts a pub quiz. The best thing is it’s free – a smartphone quiz that allows you to compete for cash with teams across the UK. All you need to do is download the app, and it’s fastest finger first. As well as a £20 bar tab, you could win the national cash prize of up to £1,500.

Taking place every other Tuesday, The Jolly Brewmaster’s Cheltenham pub quiz kicks off at 7.45pm. It’s £2 entry per person, and there are 1st, 2nd, and bonus prizes to be won. Given the small size of the pub, I recommend booking your table in advance.

I may be biased as it’s my local Cheltenham pub quiz, but The Greatfield really does do a great pub quiz. Taking place each and every Wednesday, it’s £2 per person to enter. Offering a ‘Family Fortunes’ style quiz, it’s good fun and there’s the chance to win various different cash prizes.
