Lulu Wild Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Menu, Prices and Tips

For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. We do ours a bit differently. Our food is Chinese, the drinks flow for 90 minutes and it costs £45 a head. 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. Brunch comes out of the same kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok dishes all week. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who it works for
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
Why there are no pancakes here
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. Our idea was simple: cook brunch the way we cook everything else.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The food is just a lot more interesting.
The format, step by step
Nothing about it is complicated. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Grab a time. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Agree your drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Pick two courses. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What you can order
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. Everyone orders a starter plus a main.
Starters: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Second course: 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.
There are two vegan starters, a vegan tofu main and a vegetarian main on the list. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.
Allergies are best flagged when you reserve, so our kitchen can plan ahead.
What's in the glass
£45: the Wild Brunch
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Being able to move from bubbles to cocktails and back makes the 90 minutes fly by.
Lychee is a flavour our bar uses a lot, so the Lychee Martini felt like a natural fit. First-timers usually find it a nice change from the Pornstar Martini.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
If you're off the booze
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
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
The maths behind the price
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.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. If you only want one glass and something light, our lunch menu is probably a better fit. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. If Champagne and rosé Prosecco are what you'd be ordering anyway, it's an easy yes.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
Which day should you book?
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
Our Friday and Sunday sittings tend to be quieter and easier on the voice. Friday makes an early start to the weekend, while Sunday lends itself to a slow, lazy afternoon.
Saturdays go quickest, so early booking is a good idea.
It's worth thinking about the time as well as the day. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Get here on the dot. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Order food early. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Drink some water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Sort drinks in advance. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Book your ride first. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Planning for a bigger party
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. Our two private areas, The Nest and The Hideout, suit larger groups, and the events team can sort decorations and a pre-arranged cake. Details are on our private events page.
How to find us
Head for Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, just off the canal and next door to the Sea Life Centre.
- Broad Street: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. From Gas Street Basin or the ICC, it's an easy wander along the towpath.
Brunch before a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. If your show is in the evening, an early brunch slot fits neatly in front. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
Not ready to leave?
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. Sunday to Thursday we close at 11pm, and on Friday and Saturday it's 2am.
The signature list draws on ingredients from our kitchen, like elderflower, lychee, yuzu and rhubarb, all served with dry ice. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
More than brunch
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. We make our dim sum in-house, and you can have it steamed, pan-fried or baked. The main menu covers aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with veggie and vegan dishes throughout. Brunch is a good first taste, and dinner is the next step.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
Festive bottomless brunch
