💥 THE DARK DESTROYER QUIZ 💥

You heard us right, ITV’s very own barrister/lecturer/Mastermind champion/all-around quizzing LEGEND Shaun Wallace AKA the Dark Destroyer is heading to Digbeth on Thursday 14th July for a quiz like no other! 🙌

After the amazing response to his co-star – Paul Sinha’s quiz at The Old Crown, we couldn’t miss out on this chance to bring another Chaser over to Brum’s oldest pub. 👑

His co-star, Paul Sinha, hosted a quiz at The Old Crown back in April

Starting from 7pm, Shaun will be using his decades of quizzing experience to craft a series of conundrums that would make even a Chaser sweat. 🧠

 

There will be amazing prizes up for grabs for our winners, and you might even be able to snag a photo with the Dark Destroyer himself! So put your knowledge, and countless hours of watching The Chase to the test to see if you can beat the Chaser! 🏃‍♂️

 

Do you think that you can beat the Chaser?

And if all that brain activity has got you working up an appetite, why not try out our new everyday menu; it’s got everything from pub classics like sausage + mash and fish & chips to sharing platters such as bruschetta and baked Camembert. 😋

There’s something for everyone, with gluten free + vegan options available – just let your server know!

Try our new menu, served Monday – Saturday 12pm – 9:30pm
