🏆😂 WHO’S UP FOR SOME COMPETITIVE FRIENDS & FAMILY SUMMER HOLIDAY FUN?

We’ve loved seeing more families joining us for our Quiz Nights lately, and we’d really like to see more of you! ❤️

So, while the kids are still off school, we thought we’d try something a little different…

We’ve probably left it a little late to launch something new for the summer holidays 😂 so we have absolutely no idea if anyone will book… but we thought let’s give it a go!

🎉 INTERACTIVE GAMES NIGHT!

This isn’t a quiz. In fact, there are ZERO general knowledge questions! Get your family or friends together and battle it out over 5 fun, interactive rounds:

🎨 DRAW IT – Pictionary style
🎭 ACT IT – Charades
🎤 DESCRIBE IT – Taboo style using the mic
🎵 HUM IT – Hum the tune
🔍 GUESS IT – Close-up picture round

No need to be a genius — you just need a team with a mixture of talents and a bit of a competitive streak! 😂

📅 Thursday 20th August – GCSE Results Day
⏰ Games commence at 7.30pm

🎓 If you’re celebrating GCSE Results Day but aren’t joining us for our Bottomless Pizza earlier in the day, why not get the family together and celebrate with us in the evening instead?

But you definitely don’t need to be celebrating GCSE results to join us – everyone is welcome! ❤️

🍔 COME EARLY, EAT & MAKE A NIGHT OF IT!

We’ll have a reduced menu packed with family favourites – burgers, pizzas, loaded nachos and salads – so there should be something to keep everyone happy.

📋 We’ll share the full Games Night menu on the event page in the next couple of days.

🍹 Get here early and take advantage of Happy Hour from 5pm–7pm, enjoy some food and be ready for the games to begin at 7.30pm!

🏆 Prizes to be won
😂 Plenty of laughs
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Friends & families welcome

This is our first Interactive Games Night, and if everyone enjoys it and it works well, we might just make it a regular night at Darcy’s! 👀🎉

So if you like the idea, come and support our first one! ❤️

Parents, grandparents, teenagers, friends… who would make YOUR ultimate team? Tag them below! 👇

🍕✨ Friday plans? We've got you covered! ✨

We almost forgot to tell you... our Friday Pizza Nights promo starts TONIGHT! 🤦‍♀️🍕

Every Friday throughout August, when you order any pizza, we'll treat you to one complimentary drink:

🥂 A glass of Prosecco
🍺 A bottle of Peroni Nastro Azzurro
🍊 Or one of our refreshing Passionfruit & Orange Coolers – perfect for non-drinkers and younger guests!

Freshly made pizza, a drink on us, and the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

🎆 And here's an idea... pre-order, grab a takeaway pizza before 8.50pm, then head down to Bournemouth seafront to catch the 10pm fireworks. Pizza, fireworks, and a summer evening... now that's a Friday! 🌅🎇

🍸 Happy Hour also runs 5pm–7pm, with cocktails & mocktails 2 for £15 if you're joining us before dinner.

📞 Book your table: 01202 419 319

Who's joining you for pizza tonight? 🍕❤️

🧠 What a Night at Quiz Night! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last night's quiz! It was another brilliant evening packed with laughs, friendly competition and some seriously high scores.

The celebrity couples picture round caused plenty of debate. Quite a few teams didn't think Tom Holland & Zendaya were actually married... only for today's front page of The Sun to announce they've got married again! 😂 So, according to last night's quiz and today's newspaper, they've now managed to get married twice!

That has inspired us... we're thinking of introducing a "Guess the Headline" round at next month's quiz, Mock the Week style. Let us know if you'd enjoy that!

A massive thank you as well to everyone who ordered food, both inside the restaurant and out in the garden. We were absolutely slammed, and we really appreciate your support— for our small independent family business. ❤️

Congratulations to all our winners, and if you couldn't make it this time, we'd love to see you at the next one.

📅 Thursday 3rd September
🕢 7.30pm start
👥 Teams of up to 6
💷 £2 per person
🏆 Cash, fizz and chocolate prizes, vouchers.

Remember, this isn't a quiz just for serious quizzers—it's designed to be fun, and anyone can win! 😊
