Eight Bells

The Eight Bells is a family-run pub at 31 Carisbrooke High Street, just west of central Newport. People come for meals and drinks, and for the social nights: pub quizzes and local fundraisers. A team night puts the quiz and conversation in the same room as the bar. Seating and food service depend on the booking, so ask when you reserve a table. Don't assume the usual arrangements apply.

The postcode is PO30 1NR. Carisbrooke High Street is not Newport High Street, so if you don't know the area, bring the address with you. Check parking rules or bus times before you set off, especially if the event finishes late. The pub's number for contact and reservations is 01983 825501. Ring it to book a quiz team, ask about access or check anything that could affect where you sit.

When a fundraiser uses the Eight Bells, the fundraising host and the pub do different jobs. The host sets the quiz fee, the raffle and the cause. The pub runs the venue, the bar and any food. Bring what the event asks for, like a team name or a small entry fee, and get there early enough to settle before the first question. The pub's website has general contact details. For changes to the start time or booking arrangements, check the event notice itself.
