Drag queens and roast dinner, all in one afternoon. At Blundells Supper Club in Merseyside, this 2pm–4pm Sunday show mixes Soul-era music with audience games and a drag host to keep things moving. I especially like the chilled-out feel: it’s built for an easy Sunday where you can laugh, snack, and sing along without rushing anywhere.

My second big win is the food. The roast has impressed people with how good it tastes for an event setting, and the whole afternoon is designed as a proper social hang. One thing to consider is that the energy depends on your group size and how much the audience wants to participate—if karaoke drags or not enough people jump in, the vibe can dip.

Key takeaways before you go

• 2pm–4pm timing makes this an actual Sunday plan, not a late-night scramble
• Soul-themed tunes and drag performances keep the afternoon focused and fun
• Games with prizes (plus twerk-offs and lip sync moments) turn you from watcher into participant
• Bottomless booze runs 90 minutes, so you’ll want to plan your pacing early
• VIP adds a lot for groups: decorated table, catwalk moment, photoshoot, popcorn, and party extras

Blundells Supper Club at 2pm: the vibe you’re buying

This is not a stuffy dinner. It’s a roast-themed afternoon show with drag queens built into the party rhythm, starting at 2pm and running 150 minutes until 4pm. If you’re the type who likes to start slow, then add some sparkle, this format makes sense: you get one easy entry point, one set block, and no awkward “what do we do next?” moments.

The real reason it works for many people is the structure. Early on, you’re pulled into performances. Then the show shifts into games and audience moments, so you’re never staring at a stage without a role. That pacing matters because drag events can either feel electric or overly passive—this one is aimed at staying interactive.

The Sunday running order: performances, games, and the tricky part

While every event can breathe a little differently, you can expect the day to follow a clear pattern. First, you’ll see drag queens performing with Soul-era lip sync or singing, set to themed music. Then comes a games section where audience members can win prizes, and you’ll often see the show-style escalate into bits like spin-the-wheel style challenges, twerk-offs, and lip sync battles.

A key moment is the transition to karaoke. Here’s the potential drawback: when the group is small or nobody wants to take the mic, karaoke can stretch and slow the mood. One person in particular felt the karaoke segment dragged because the queens leading earlier didn’t step in to steer the moment, leaving some people disappointed.

So my practical advice is simple: if you’re going with friends, decide beforehand who’s likely to sing, cheer, or take part. If you want the event to feel loud and playful, bring at least a couple of people who are up for it. That small decision can change your whole afternoon.

The roast dinner and bottomless drinks: value, pacing, and what to expect

The “Sunday roast” part is not a throwaway add-on here. People have described the food as surprisingly good, and the roast has earned strong praise for tasting proper rather than just functional. For me, that’s the difference between a fun show and a show you’d repeat: you leave fed and happy, not just entertained.

Now the drinks: the bottomless booze & food option is priced separately and includes 90 minutes of drinks. The listed options include beer, cider, wine (including sparkling), Sex On The Beach, Mojito, Peach Bellini, Bloody Mary, Sangria, vodka, gin, plus all soft drinks. That’s a wide list, which is great if you like options rather than one generic cocktail.

But there’s one caution worth hearing. One attendee said the drinks felt very weak, even though the event did include plenty of options. So if you’re coming expecting full-strength pours, you might want to pace yourself and keep your expectations aligned with “event bar style.” If you do want to sip, you’ll still likely enjoy it—but go in aware that drink strength may vary.

How to make the 90 minutes work

You’ll have more fun if you treat the first hour like your “proper drink” window, then shift to water/soft drinks near the end. Also, if you’re doing karaoke or games, you don’t want to be muddled early. The sweet spot is being upbeat and ready to clap, not wobbling mid-spin.

Drag queen interaction: more than watching, you can play

This experience is built around interaction with the drag queens and the audience. The headline is a drag queen interactive experience, hosted by an English-speaking host. You’re not just sitting there and taking photos between songs.

During the afternoon, you’ll get multiple types of participation:

• Games section where you can win prizes
• Moments like lip sync battles and twerk-offs
• Audience-involved segments like spin-the-wheel style challenges
• A general vibe that invites you to be part of the party, even if you don’t want to go full performer

Here’s the part that can make or break it: crowd size and participation. In one small group experience, the audience felt too limited (about a dozen people), which made some segments feel slow—especially when karaoke didn’t get pushed along. In a bigger group, games tend to pop faster because there’s always someone ready.

If you prefer watching over joining in, you can still have a great time. But if you want the show to feel like a party with you in it, arrive with a mindset of joining in at least a little.

The VIP party package: what it adds for groups

If you’re celebrating, the VIP Party Package Experience is the best route to turn this from a good afternoon into a proper memory. It’s pay per group, and it only applies when purchased with a fully paid ticket (either standing or seats A, B, or C). That rule matters, so if you’re aiming for VIP, don’t leave it to the last minute.

What you get is very “make the night feel special”:

• A decorated table with balloons, confetti, and a goody bag
• A highlight moment for the honoree with the Queen’s Catwalk plus shout-outs
• A Surprise Treasure Chest with a chance to take part in cabaret shows
• One bottle of Prosecco included, with extra bottles available for £20 each
• Unlimited popcorn for the entire duration
• Stage photoshoot with the drag queens
• One round of shots (1 per person)

In plain terms: VIP is for groups who want structure and photo-worthy moments, not just entertainment. If you’ve ever been to events where the birthday person blends into the background, this package is designed to prevent that.

One more practical note: VIP puts the group in the “front of the fun” zone by design. If you hate being stuck at the back, this is the option that fixes that feeling.

Price and ticket choices: how the numbers line up

The summary price shows $5 per person, but the detailed options list different packages—so the real value depends on what you book. Here’s how to think about it:

• Seated entry: listed at £8.50, includes reserved seating plus a glass of fizz. This is the lean option if you mainly want a good seat and the show.
• Bottomless booze & food: listed at £55, with 90 minutes of drinks plus food. If you’re the group member who always ends up paying for drinks, this can feel like the best deal because it’s structured and time-limited.
• VIP add-on: depends on group purchase, but it adds tangible extras: table decor, special honoree moment, photoshoot, popcorn, and shots.

So what’s the best value? If your priority is atmosphere and participation, seated entry gets you in. If your priority is enjoying the afternoon without doing drink math, bottomless is where the savings likely show up. If you’re celebrating with a group and you want the night to feel like an event, VIP is your “go big or go home” option.

Who should book this Sunday roast drag show

This experience fits best if you want a low-pressure Sunday with comedy energy, music, and audience games. It’s also ideal for:

• birthdays and hens where the group wants something different
• mixed groups where some people are shy but will still clap and participate
• anyone who likes drag art but prefers it in a social setting, not a stand-off stage show

It may be less ideal if you’re expecting a tightly choreographed show with nonstop lead singing from the queens in every segment. One smaller-group experience felt the karaoke part slowed down. If karaoke is a must for you, go with a crowd that’s likely to jump in—or be okay with it being more audience-driven than performance-driven.

Should you book it? My call

I’d book this if you want a fun Sunday plan that mixes food with participation, and you like events where you’re encouraged to sing, cheer, and play games. The roast reputation plus the interactive drag format make it a strong pick for groups.

If you’re going for the drinks first, I’d still book—but I’d go in with realistic expectations about strength. And if your group is small, consider whether you’ll enjoy karaoke when it’s less of a hype moment and more of a hangout segment.
