- Saltwood Castle Hotel (The Green, Saltwood, Hythe, Kent,)
Quiz
Every week we struggle away at the friendly fun quiz at The Ship Inn in Sandgate, and we hardly ever come away with the top grand prize of a bottle of wine. This week, for a change we tried the Sunday quiz at Saltwood Castle (the pub, not the actual castle), seeing as we had Monday off so could really make a night of it. And we took the pot, of 120 quid, nice one!
Not sure whether to head straight back there again, as we do have a habit of doing well in a quiz on the first week and then never living up to that. Maybe next bank holiday...
Rest of the weekend really did rock too.

- The Famous Ship Inn (65 Sandgate High Street, Sandgate, Folkestone, Kent)
Quiz
The quiz at the ship is GREAT, surprise question master this week was the wife's cousin, but I SWEAR this is not how we won. It all came down to a tie breaker in the end, set by the landlord (who is not a relation) on how much the bus fair was from Barcelona airport to the town...
It's a friendly quiz, but I'm not sure how friendly it's going to stay if we win again next week. Might have to put more effort into a funny team name and less into the questions, as some of the players there seem to do. Man, they do not like Dave the Dolphin for some reason...
