Soulful Sunday Roast Dinner with Drag Queens

The main draw here is a Sunday roast with drag cabaret, not a quiet pub lunch. From 2pm to 4pm, a drag queen host brings soul-era tunes, audience games, lip-syncs, twerk-offs, karaoke, and prizes into the room. I like the roast dinner, which one booking described as surprisingly good, and I like the relaxed afternoon timing.

I also like the choice of packages, from reserved seating with fizz to a 90-minute bottomless food and drink option. The main caution is that the show depends on the crowd joining in. A small audience and a long karaoke section made one afternoon lose pace, so this suits people ready to take part rather than sit back silently.

Key points to know before booking

• Soul-era Sunday setting: The afternoon uses classic soul-themed music to give the roast a relaxed, party-ready feel.
• Drag-led audience games: Expect prizes, a spin-the-wheel style game, lip-sync moments, twerk-offs, and other interactive sections.
• Roast dinner included in the larger package: The food received especially warm praise, with one booking calling the roast amazing.
• Several ways to pay: Seated entry is listed at £8.50 with reserved seating and a glass of fizz, while bottomless food and drinks cost £55.
• VIP party extras: Birthdays, hen parties, and divorce celebrations can add decorations, prosecco, shots, popcorn, photos, and stage attention.
• A crowd makes a difference: One afternoon had only 11 people, and the karaoke became slow when nobody wanted to sing.

A roast lunch with a cabaret twist

This is not a formal theatre show with a neat beginning, middle, and end. It is a social Sunday session built around food, music, and a drag queen host who keeps asking the room to join in.

The advertised session runs from 2pm to 4pm, although the activity details also list a 150-minute duration. I would allow a little flexibility around the published finish time, especially if you add drinks, games, or party extras.

The mood is meant to be chilled out rather than frantic. Soul music gives the afternoon a familiar soundtrack, while the drag element adds the louder jokes and crowd work. You might see lip-sync performances, audience challenges, twerk-offs, karaoke, and prize games. The exact balance can change depending on the audience and the performers present.

That last point matters. This is an interactive format. If you want a roast where the entertainment happens entirely at the front, you may find the room uneven. If you enjoy cheering, singing, playing games, or seeing a friend pulled into the action, the setup has more appeal.

What happens from 2pm to 4pm

The afternoon begins with the room settling into the Sunday lunch atmosphere. The music is built around the soul era, so the opening has a softer feel than a late-night drag show. You can eat, listen, and get used to the style of the event before the audience participation gathers pace.

The drag queens then take on the room with lip-syncing or singing. One booking described the opening as fun, with two queens performing before the audience moved into a game section. This gives you a useful picture of the rhythm: performance first, then direct participation.

The games can include a wheel-based challenge, prize-winning sections, and other audience activities. The prize element gives the afternoon a simple focus, and it helps break up the meal. You do not need to know any special rules ahead of time.

After that, the program may move into karaoke. This is the part where the crowd has the most influence. A confident room can make karaoke funny and lively. A quieter group can leave the segment searching for volunteers, which may slow the afternoon down.

The advertised highlights also include twerk-offs and lip-sync battles. Treat these as part of the broad format rather than a guaranteed running order. The information supplied does not name individual performers or promise that every listed segment will happen at every session.

One booking expected Carmen Sutra but did not see her, and another confirmed that the performer was not Carmen Sutra while still describing the afternoon as amazing. That is a useful warning: do not book this solely to see one named queen. Book for the general drag-hosted format.

The roast dinner is a real part of the value

The food is one of the strongest reasons to consider the event. A booking that arrived unsure what to expect from the meal described the roast as amazing. Another called the food really good and said it was better than expected.

That praise is notable because novelty dining events often treat food as an afterthought. Here, the roast helps the afternoon work even during quieter entertainment sections. You are not relying on the cabaret alone to justify the booking.

The supplied information does not give a menu, meat choice, vegetarian details, portion size, or dessert information. I would ask the venue about dietary requirements before paying, especially if someone in your group needs a vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly meal.

The bottomless option combines food with drinks for £55. It is listed as 90 minutes of bottomless drinks and food, not necessarily the entire 150-minute session. That distinction matters. You may have a two-and-a-half-hour activity on paper, but the unlimited period is shorter.

For a group that plans to drink and wants the roast included, £55 may offer fair value. For someone who wants lunch, a little entertainment, and only one drink, the £8.50 seated option is likely easier on the budget.

Choosing between £8.50 seating and the £55 package

The pricing needs careful reading because the headline price and the package details do not match neatly. The experience summary gives a price of $5 per person, while the supplied ticket information lists seated entry at £8.50 and bottomless food and drinks at £55.

For practical planning, I would use the pound prices as the useful guide and confirm the final amount before checkout. The £8.50 option includes reserved seating and a glass of fizz. That is a low-cost way to sample the event without committing to a long drinks package.

Reserved seating can also matter for a celebration. You know your group has a place together, and you are not paying for drinks you may not want. The glass of fizz adds a small celebratory touch without turning the booking into a full party package.

The £55 option includes beer, cider, wine, sparkling wine, Sex on the Beach, Mojitos, Peach Bellinis, Bloody Marys, Sangria, vodka, gin, and soft drinks for 90 minutes. That is a wide list, but the supplied information does not explain how the service works, which drinks are available at each moment, or whether cocktails are made individually.

One booking found the drinks weak. I would keep that in mind when judging the value. The package may suit a group planning to drink steadily, but it is less attractive if you mainly want the meal and entertainment.

The VIP package is built for celebrations

The VIP Party Package is purchased per group, not per person, and it only works when bought with a fully paid standing ticket or a seat in areas A, B, or C. An add-on bought without a valid ticket will not be accepted.

This is aimed squarely at birthdays, hen parties, and divorce celebrations. Your table receives balloons, confetti, and a goody bag, and it is placed in one of the better areas of the venue. The package also gives the guest of honor extra attention during the afternoon.

The birthday or hen guest can take part in the Queen’s Catwalk and receive shout-outs during the event. There is also a surprise treasure chest, with a chance to take part in the cabaret shows. Since the exact treasure chest outcome is not stated, I would treat this as a possible extra rather than a guaranteed performance slot.

The package includes one bottle of prosecco, with extra bottles listed at £20 each, unlimited popcorn, a stage photoshoot with the drag queens, and one round of shots, one per person.

I see the value here mainly in the group treatment, not the food or drinks. If you are arranging a milestone afternoon and want decorations, photos, and public attention, the add-on may save you from organizing those details yourself. If you are simply joining two friends for lunch, it is probably more than you need.

Remember that the VIP price is not supplied, so you cannot judge its exact value from the information available. Check the total group cost before booking.

The crowd can make or break the middle of the show

The clearest weakness is audience size and involvement. One session had 11 people. The first performances and prize game worked, but the karaoke section dragged because nobody wanted to sing and the queens did not lead that part.

This is not a minor detail. Interactive cabaret needs a willing room. With a large birthday or hen group, the audience may provide its own energy. With a very small or shy group, the same format can feel exposed and slow.

You can improve your chances by booking with friends who enjoy public participation. A group that will volunteer, cheer, sing, or play along gives the host more to work with. You should not assume that every part of the session will have the same pace.

The supplied information also says and so on after listing twerk-offs and lip-sync battles. That suggests a flexible entertainment format rather than a fixed stage script. I would view this as a social party lunch with drag entertainment, not a tightly timed theatrical production.

Drinks, music, and the Sunday mood

The soul theme is a smart match for the time of day. It lets the afternoon begin gently, then gives the drag host a musical base for lip-syncs and games. You get the feel of a Sunday lunch without the usual quiet, family-only tone.

The available drinks cover familiar pub choices, wine, fizz, soft drinks, spirits, and named cocktails. The bottomless package includes 90 minutes, which can be enough for a party group but may feel short if your main reason for booking is the drinks.

The weak-drink comment is worth taking seriously, but it is one person’s experience rather than a guaranteed feature of every session. I would choose the £55 package because you want the food and the drinking period, not because you expect bar-quality cocktails as the main event.

If you do not drink alcohol, soft drinks are included in the bottomless list. The £8.50 seated ticket with fizz may be the simpler choice if you want to control your spending.

Access, language, and booking flexibility

The host or greeter speaks English, and the listed language for the activity is English. That means the games, jokes, announcements, and audience interaction will be conducted in English.

The experience is listed as wheelchair accessible. Since no further details are supplied about entrance routes, toilets, table spacing, or stage access, contact the provider before booking if you need specific arrangements.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Sunday plans are not fully settled. For event bookings, I would still check the final terms shown at checkout.

For questions about the event, the supplied contact is [email protected]. The experience provider is listed as HAUS OF FUN.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to a group that wants lunch with a silly, social edge. It is especially suited to birthday groups, hen parties, divorce celebrations, and friends who like drag comedy and audience games.

The VIP package makes the most sense for a group celebration. The standard seated ticket is better for a couple or a small group testing the format at a modest price.

You may also enjoy it if you want a low-pressure Sunday afternoon rather than a late night. The 2pm start gives you an early social event, and the soul soundtrack keeps the tone lighter than a full club evening.

I would be more cautious if you dislike being called on, singing in public, or watching audience members take over the entertainment. I would also avoid booking only to see Carmen Sutra or another specific queen, since the performer can vary.

Should you book the Soulful Sunday Roast?

Book it if you want a drag-led lunch with games, you like joining in, and the roast matters as much as the cabaret. The food is the most consistently praised part of the experience, and the £8.50 seated option gives you a reasonably priced way to try the format.

For a larger celebration, consider the VIP add-on after confirming its group price and ticket requirements. For a drinking-focused afternoon, check the £55 package carefully, since the unlimited drinks period lasts 90 minutes and one booking found the drinks weak.

My final advice is simple: bring a lively group and keep your expectations flexible. The afternoon can be funny and memorable when the room joins in, but a tiny or reluctant crowd may expose the gaps between the main performances.
