Admiral Taverns launched a community pub quiz across its establishments in England, Scotland and Wales, and the winner was found in The Flying Dutchman in Lowestoft.
The Admiral Live Community Kwizz, which was sponsored by Carling and supported by Kwizzbit, sought to boost pub attendance during the quieter months by promoting an engaging, interactive quiz event.
Approximately 1,500 pubs joined in with the live quiz, The Flying Dutchman in Lowestoft hosted the winning team and donated a total of £500 to Top Cats, a local charity providing supported activities and opportunities for young people with disabilities and complex needs.
Licensee Chris Moore at The Flying Dutchman in Lowestoft said: “The Admiral Live Community Kwizz was a brilliant initiative and provided a great opportunity for pubs across the estate to connect and compete against one another in such a fun, light-hearted way.

"Customers absolutely loved it and we were of course very proud to host the winning team and donate some of the prize money to a local charity close to all our hearts.
"Our quiz nights are a fantastic way to bring people together, but it’s important to keep things fresh and innovate where we can.
"Kwizzbit is such a good tool to streamline the process of preparing a quiz and adds an extra layer of excitement.
"It’s certainly something for other licensees to explore.”

Emma Cottam, leased and tenanted marketing manager at Admiral Taverns, said: “This has been a fantastic initiative to not only bring communities together but also to provide licensees with the tools to increase custom during the quieter months with several pubs seeing a significant uptick in trade.
"It’s been great to see such a fantastic response from both our licensees and the communities they serve and a huge thank you to Kwizzbit for providing such a great service.”
