An Honest Look at the Experience

When we picture a traditional afternoon tea, we often think of a tranquil setting, delicate china, and a quiet ambiance. This isn’t quite that — and that’s part of the charm. Blundells Supper Club brings a vibrant, engaging energy to the scene. Located in Liverpool, it’s a spot known for its fun, inclusive vibe, where the staff and performers make sure everyone feels part of the party.

The experience begins with a reserved seat, so you’re not left scrambling or fighting for space.

The latter is a real highlight, offering an hour of unlimited tea, coffee, lager, cider, wine, and cocktails. Think of it as a laid-back way to toast and chat with friends while enjoying the lively atmosphere.

What’s Included?

At a modest price, the package includes everything you need for a fun afternoon. With your reserved spot, you’ll get a complimentary glass of sparkling wine (if you opt for that), along with a tempting platter of sandwiches and cakes. The all-inclusive option takes it further with bottomless drinks for an hour, including a good mix of soft drinks, beers, wines, and a few cocktails like Sex on the Beach or Sangria.

This variety ensures there’s something for all, whether you’re a wine lover or prefer soft drinks. The drinks selection is pretty comprehensive, and the friendly staff keep the bar flowing effortlessly. It’s a great setup for socializing, and the interactive element with drag queens keeps the mood festive. Throughout your visit, you’ll find the hosts engaging, with sporadic performances that add sparkle without dominating the experience — more about mingling with lively entertainment than a full-scale show.
