Writing your own pub quiz round

Plenty of ready-made printable sets exist online, but a round built around your local pub, your team's interests or a specific theme usually goes down better. The quickest way to get pub quiz questions UK hosts can actually use is to start from material you already have, such as a book, a course handout or a list of local facts.

Start from a source you trust, so every answer can be checked.
Mix multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep rounds moving.
Read the explanation before reading the answer aloud to settle disputes.
Export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan to print answer sheets for the host.
