It's been a long time coming, but finally Quizmaster Trivia is pleased to announce that we're bringing a big football quiz to Stratford's Cafe Football later this month on Thursday 26th March at 7pm!

"Probably the best football quiz" (Cough, cough, definitely...) is bound to be a busy one, with Cafe Football inviting teams to test their football knowledge in a two hour event that will see Quizmaster Trivia bring it's first themed quiz to the Stratford football-themed restaurant!

Topics for the event will include World Cup, Premier League, Champions League, pop culture and a plethora of other football-related trivia. We'll even have a "What happen's next" video round to challenge London's best football-thinking minds!

1st place: Dinner, wine & a signed football from owners Gary Neville & Ryan Giggs.

2nd place: £50 to spend at the bar.

Best Dressed Team: A Cafe Football t-shirt each to wear with pride!

The quiz will be a standard £1/player to participate with no pre-sign up involved. Team numbers are limited to 6 a team instead of the usual 8, so bring your best football fanatics to ensure victory. Fancy dress is encouraged for the event, so put together your best football themed outfit for the evening! Make sure you get a good seat by reserving your team on on 020 8702 2590, it's gonna be a busy one!

Specially-themed quiz FAQs

Do we pre-register, sign up online? 
No. We do these events like it's 1999. Just show up --- we advise you arrive a little early to grab a good seat --- drink, think and have fun. You can however, reserve a table! Just give the guys and gals at Cafe Football a hola on 020 8702 2590!

Okay, how much is it? 
Quiz-for-a-quid. Or £1 as you common folk might say. Bring cash, pay the Quizmaster and drink while you think!

What are the prizes?
This will vary with each event but typically most are offering standard moolah for first place, second place and the best dressed team.

Can I wear a special outfit or costume?
Absolutely. Particularly if you want to feature on the blog. The best dressed team will win a Cafe Football t-shirt each to wear with pride!

Can people under 21 play?
That's out of our hands we're afraid, and will vary depending on the venue. We'll be sure to communicate that via our Facebook page for each specific event, but if you're unsure just call the venue in advance to find out.

Is there a team-size limit? 
Indeed, six people maximum at a themed quiz. Bring your best brains for the job.

Do spectators have to pay? 
Yup. If someone on your team is just there and "doesn't really know anything" they still have to cough up the 100 pence. (Please don't pay us in pennies!) 

I own/manage a venue. Can I host such an event at my bar?
It depends. In almost all cases, we only work with existing Quizmaster clients on our specially themed events, so hire us now and perhaps we can work something out. Such venues must fit certain criteria too.  Location and venue size are key, especially when we've been known to pull in over 100 people for certain events.
