Half-Term at Wembley: A Simple Lunch Plan Before Deadly Live!
Deadly Live! plays OVO Arena Wembley on Tuesday 27 October 2026, with doors at 1pm. Lunch at Blue Check Wembley is served from 12 pm, so book a table for about 12 pm.
Steve Backshall's Deadly Live! comes back to OVO Arena Wembley this autumn half-term, on Tuesday 27 October 2026. With doors at 1pm, lunch is the meal to plan. Here is how to get a hungry family fed and through the doors without a rush.
What is Deadly Live!?
Deadly Live! is hosted by Steve Backshall and, according to the arena's page, returns this autumn half-term after a hugely popular 2025 tour. The listing is for seated shows, with under-14s to be accompanied by an adult. There is no support act, and the doors time is 1 pm.
What do the timings look like?
The official listing gives doors at 1 pm and an event start of 1 pm, and says times are approximate.
A day-out plan for parents
Daytime shows are a different planning problem from a night out. You are managing children, not just a table. Here is a simple order of events that gives everyone time to eat and settle
Arrive at Blue Check Wembley around 11:30 am. We open at 9:30 am, and lunch is served from 12 pm. If you are early, ask what can be served before lunch.
Order straight away. Children rarely wait well. Order drinks and a starter such as nachos (£8.95) or chicken wings (£8.95) when you sit down.
Eat, then pay. Settle the bill before you finish dessert, so you are not waiting at the end.
Leave by 12:30 pm. That gives you time to walk to the arena before doors at 1pm.
What to order for different ages
Burgers with chips start at £14.95, and pizza starts at £14.95. Pasta is an easy choice for fussy eaters: spaghetti Bolognese is £14.95, and penne arrabiata is £13.95. Traditional fish and chips is £15.95. If you are sharing between a few children, a mixed platter (£17.95) or a few sides at £4.95 each can feed a table. Tell your server about allergies and intolerances when you order.
What to bring
The arena has its own entry and bag guidance, so check the official page before you leave. For a family day out, a charged phone for tickets and a spare layer are the two things people forget. A discretionary 10% service charge is added to table bills.
Booking with a pushchair or a large group
If you are coming with a pushchair, grandparents or several families, tell us when you book so we can think about seating. Book a table online or call 020 8902 8147. Prices correct as of October 2026.
