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. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. 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.
Who books bottomless brunch?
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. For office teams, the fixed price keeps expenses simple. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why our brunch looks different
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.
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. The food is just a lot more interesting.
Your sitting, explained
The set-up is easy to follow. 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.
- Sort the drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Get your food in. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Settle in. 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.
Brunch food at a glance
The menu is short on purpose, so ordering never takes long. You pick one starter and one main each.
To start: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
Mains: 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).
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or 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 check here and a vegetarian main on the list. 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.
Your drinks options
Wild Brunch: £45
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless 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. Never had one before? Brunch is the perfect chance to try it.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
For an extra £9.95 a head, unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco join the list. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
Driving or teetotal?
Non-drinkers can swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks, so nobody misses out. There's a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini on our alcohol-free list too.
One rule to know
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. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes of those drinks on repeat.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. 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. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Choosing between the three days
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. 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. 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.
A few things we'd suggest
- Don't be late. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Don't skip the starter. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- 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.
- Book your ride first. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Do drink sensibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Groups and celebrations
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. Details are on our private events page.
Location and travel
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: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along the towpath.
If you're coming by car, Q-Park Brindleyplace is a two-minute walk. Honestly, with unlimited Prosecco on the table, we'd leave the car at home.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. An early sitting sets you up nicely before an evening performance. 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. Our hours run to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. We'd point you towards the China Silk (£13.25), the Fortune Cookie (£13.50) or the Lucky Dragon (£12.75). Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
More than brunch
There's a lot more to us than brunch. Our dim sum is made in-house, and it comes 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.
