What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. get more info Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who comes to brunch?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
You can find a bottomless brunch on most streets in Birmingham, usually with the same menu. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. 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. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
Your sitting, explained
It's all very simple. This is roughly how your table's time plays out:
- Grab a time. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Settle the package. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Order your food. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
What you can order
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. You pick one starter and one main each.
Starters: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
The main event: Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Sanpei Chicken, based on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free).
If you're still hungry, sides are extra and run from £3.50 to £6.00, including egg fried rice, pak choi with garlic and tenderstem broccoli. Rice upgrades are available too, starting at +£1 for egg fried rice and going up to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
Vegans have two starters and a tofu main to choose from, and there's a vegetarian main as well. Both the Spicy King Prawn and the Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are gluten-free.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
What's in the glass
Wild Brunch: £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Switching between Prosecco and a couple of cocktails keeps the sitting interesting.
The Lychee Martini is a nod to our bar, where lychee turns up in plenty of our cocktails. Never had one before? Brunch is the perfect chance to try it.
Going for Champagne
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. If the day calls for a proper toast, this is the one.
Not drinking?
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
Worth sorting before you arrive
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?
Let's do the arithmetic. On our regular cocktail menu, a Pornstar Martini is £14, so two of them comes to £28 before any food arrives. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of 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. After just one drink and a smaller plate? Our lunchtime menu might suit you more. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. If Champagne and rosé Prosecco are what you'd be ordering anyway, it's an easy yes.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Choosing between the three days
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. That makes it ideal for groups who want to make some noise.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Be punctual. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Eat early on. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Drink some water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Know how you're getting back. Have a taxi or train in mind before you arrive.
Do drink sensibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Planning for a bigger party
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. Bigger parties can use our private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and the events team can help with decorations or a cake arranged in advance. See our private hire page for the details.
Getting here
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: you'll reach it in two minutes.
- Utilita Arena: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: ten minutes or so walking.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: close by, along 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.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Got tickets for later?
Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall and the ICC are all just round the corner. 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.
When the 90 minutes are up
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.
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. The full list is on our cocktail bar page.
More than brunch
Brunch is only one part of what we do. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. On the dinner menu you'll find aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with meat-free options all through it. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
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. We're closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Need a gift? Our vouchers start from £25.
