Poole telecommunications firm VoIP Unlimited is holding a charity pub quiz at Patrick’s restaurant in Ashley Cross to raise money for HeadSmart; a campaign launched by the company’s charity of the year The Brain Tumour Charity.
Taking place on Monday March 23, Steve Moody will kick off the general knowledge quiz at 7pm. Contestants will dine on fish and chips or vegetable curry while they tackle the trivia, which will comprise six rounds of questions including a picture and bonus round.
The company has pledged to raise at least £10,000in funds by November 2015 in aid of the HeadSmart campaign, which aims to raise the awareness of brain tumour symptoms in children and young people.
Mark Pillow, managing director of VoIP Unlimited, said: “VoIP Unlimited is determined to help HeadSmart further reduce the diagnosis time for children with brain tumours. The quiz nights at Patrick’s are always popular, so we’re hoping for a good show of support at our event. Good luck to all the teams!”
Patrick Michael, owner of Patrick’s Restaurant, Bar and Event Catering, said: “As it is important to us to support local businesses and charities wherever possible, we are pleased to host VoIP Unlimited’s charity pub quiz. The team at Patrick’s are looking forward to working with the company to hopefully raise significant funds for the HeadSmart charity.”
Tickets for the quiz including food are priced at £10 per person.
With all of the sweetness of Easter fast approaching, my team at Patrick’s understand how a decadent dessert is the perfect end to a fine meal.
The inimitable ‘afters were appreciated by the world’s most ancient civilisations, where candied honeycomb and honey-glazed dried fruits begin mankind’s love affair with the sweet.
While it is true that simplicity can sometimes be the making of a pudding, desserts as we know them today can be much more complex. Balancing strong flavours without overpowering subtle notes, like star anise, and finding often unusual blends like chocolate and chilli, can create a dish with elegance, originality and style.
But let’s not forget the old favourites and you can never go wrong with a Bramley apple crumble. We mix it up with the introduction of fresh seasonal blackberries and switch the crumble to oatmeal for a crisper crunch.
We seek a delicate and intricate balance of flavours in order to satisfy our diners’ sweet tooth. The hot and cold elements of our chocolate ice cream bar with warm fudge sauce complement each other so perfectly that we have made it our signature dish.
Our speciality sundaes, Chockabockerglory, Lemoncurd meringue and Rocky road, are a twist on the classics and always prove popular.
For those who are too full up and simply can’t find the room, we can whip up an Irish coffee to send you on your way.
