Edinburgh Street Food on Leith Street is one of Edinburgh’s most popular food and drink venues. It’s also home to one of the city’s best, and BIGGEST, regular SpeedQuizzing nights, hosted by Premier SpeedQuizzing. So if you’ve never tried SpeedQuizzing before, this is the ideal place to start.
About the night
The Edinburgh Street Food quiz night is free to play, with prizes for the top three teams each week. Just turn up with your phone, grab some food and drinks, and join in — there’s no booking required. Before you arrive, simply download the app so you’re ready to play.
A typical night runs through several rounds of general knowledge, a music round, and a picture round. Scores update live on screen after every question, so the tension builds right through to the final round.
About Edinburgh Street Food
Edinburgh Street Food is a vibrant food market and bar on Leith Street, just a short walk from the top of Leith Walk and Broughton Street. It’s become one of Edinburgh’s go-to spots for a casual evening out, thanks to great food from independent traders and a well-stocked bar. That lively atmosphere is exactly what suits a competitive quiz night perfectly.
Over the years, the venue has hosted some memorable SpeedQuizzing moments. One standout was a special Big Fat Quiz of the Year event, which drew one of the biggest crowds of any quiz night in the city.
