Bottomless brunch, the Lulu Wild way
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
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.
Who it works for
Friends who haven't seen each other in a while will feel right at home. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. For office teams, the fixed price keeps expenses simple. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
A brunch that skips the eggs
Birmingham does a lot of bottomless brunches, and after a few they start to blur together. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Since Chinese cooking is what our team does daily, brunch gets their full attention too. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
How brunch runs, start to finish
Nothing about it is complicated. This is roughly how your table's time plays out:
- Book a slot. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Sort the drinks. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Choose a starter and a main. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Sit back. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
Ninety minutes is plenty of time for food and refills, and you'll still have the whole evening free. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
Brunch food at a glance
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. Each person chooses a starter and a main.
First course: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
The main event: Sanpei Chicken, a take on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free); Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); and Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork.
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. You can also upgrade your rice, from egg fried rice at +£1 up to stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50.
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.
Your drinks options
Wild Brunch: £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of 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.
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.
Driving or teetotal?
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.
One thing to agree first
One package applies to every person at the table. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
Working out the value
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. The brunch price of £45 includes both courses and an hour and a half of bottomless drinks.
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. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Friday, Saturday or Sunday?
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.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. Think of Friday as a head start on the weekend and Sunday as a gentle wind-down.
Saturdays go quickest, so early booking is a good idea.
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.
Tips for your first brunch
- Get here on the dot. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Don't skip the starter. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Drink some water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Agree the package early. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Book your ride first. Have a taxi or train in mind before you arrive.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Groups and celebrations
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. 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. Details are on our private events page.
Location and travel
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: about two minutes on foot.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: ten minutes or so walking.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: close by, along the towpath.
Drivers can use Q-Park Brindleyplace, about two minutes on foot. 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. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Got tickets for later?
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. Book a 12pm sitting and you'll have plenty of time before the doors open. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
Keeping the day going
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. Sunday to Thursday we close at 11pm, and on Friday and Saturday it's 2am.
Our signature cocktails borrow kitchen flavours like lychee, yuzu, rhubarb and elderflower, and they arrive with dry ice. We'd point you towards the China Silk (£13.25), the Fortune Cookie (£13.50) or the Lucky Dragon (£12.75). The full list is on our cocktail bar page.
More than brunch
There's a lot more to us than brunch. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. Our full food menu includes aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
One more thing we're proud of: Birmingham Dogs Home is our charity partner for 2026/2027, and we're glad to be supporting them.
