Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Your Complete Guide to Lulu Wild
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Your Complete Guide to Lulu Wild
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each. We've written this to answer the questions people ask us most, from how a sitting runs to where you can park nearby.

Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
Inside there's neon on the walls and a full cocktail bar doing the pouring. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Is it right for you?
Friends who haven't seen each other in a website while will feel right at home. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
Birmingham does a lot of bottomless brunches, and after a few they start to blur together. Pancakes, bacon and fizz, then the same again at the next place. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
The format, step by step
There isn't much to figure out. This is roughly how your table's time plays out:
- Grab a time. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Settle the package. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Order your food. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Sit back. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
The food, briefly
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. Each person chooses a starter and a main.
To start: Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Chilli Wings, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
For your main: Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Sanpei Chicken, our version of Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); and Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce.
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
If you're vegan, you'll find two starters and a main, plus a vegetarian main for veggies. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.
Allergies are best flagged when you reserve, so our kitchen can plan ahead.
Choosing your drinks package
£45: the Wild Brunch
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. With fizz and two martinis to rotate through, nothing gets repetitive.
The Lychee Martini is a nod to our bar, where lychee turns up in plenty of our cocktails. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
The upgrade costs £9.95 per person and adds unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Options for non-drinkers
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
The table rule
We can't mix packages on a single table. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
Does £45 add up?
It's worth running the numbers. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
For a table that likes a few drinks, the maths works in your favour early on. If you only want one glass and something light, our lunch menu is probably a better fit. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
And the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. If your group was always going to want Champagne, it's well worth adding.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
Choosing between the three days
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
Fridays and Sundays are more relaxed, which suits a catch-up. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Saturdays go quickest, so early booking is a good idea.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. A 12pm start leaves the rest of the day free, which is handy if you have plans later. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
Tips for your first brunch
- Arrive on time. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Don't skip the starter. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Pace yourself with water. It's free, and future you will be grateful.
- Settle the package first. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Plan the trip home. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
Do drink sensibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Bringing a group
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. For larger groups we have two private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and our events team will help with decorations, plus a cake if agreed beforehand. Everything is on the events hire page.
How to find us
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.
- Broad Street: you'll reach it in two minutes.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Heading to a gig afterwards?
Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall and the ICC are all just round the corner. An early sitting sets you up nicely before an evening performance. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Staying on after brunch
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. We're open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. Try the China Silk at £13.25, the Lucky Dragon at £12.75 or the Fortune Cookie at £13.50. Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
There's more to Lulu Wild
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. Our dim sum is made in-house, and it comes steamed, pan-fried or baked. On the dinner menu you'll find aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with meat-free options all through it. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
Christmas brunch
Throughout December you can book brunch on any day. It's a useful option for work dos, festive meet-ups and tired shoppers. Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day are our days off. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
How to book
Reservations go through OpenTable, our reservations page or a call to 0121 631 1739. Tell us about allergies at the booking stage, and settle the drinks package as a group.
