💥 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

So, with our new menu launching, as well as our 17 Weeks of Summer starting up soon with loads of amazing events like the Dark Destroyer Quiz, there’s no better time to head down to The Old Crown! 🎉👑

Join us for the Dark Destroyer Quiz on Thursday 14th July
