Bottomless Brunch at Lulu Wild, Birmingham: Your Guide
Blog Article
Say "bottomless brunch in Birmingham" and most people picture pancakes, poached eggs and a Bloody Mary. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. Our food is Chinese, the drinks flow for 90 minutes and it costs £45 a head. Below we've put the whole thing in one place, from the drinks and food to the value, the best day and the route here.

So what is our bottomless brunch?
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. So instead of a fry-up with a cocktail, you sit down to two Chinese courses with unlimited 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 books bottomless brunch?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early website sitting fits neatly before it.
A brunch that skips the eggs
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We wanted our brunch to match what our kitchen actually does.
Since Chinese cooking is what our team does daily, brunch gets their full attention too. 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.
How brunch runs, start to finish
There isn't much to figure out. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Book a slot. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Choose a drinks package. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Choose a starter and a main. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Settle in. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. On Fridays and Saturdays the bar doesn't close until 2am, so there's no rush.
The food, briefly
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. 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).
Second course: 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. 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. Both the Spicy King Prawn and the Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are gluten-free.
Please mention any allergies when booking, giving our kitchen time to prepare.
Your drinks options
The Wild Brunch package, £45
With the Wild Brunch, your two courses come with 90 minutes of free-flowing Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Being able to move from bubbles to cocktails and back makes the 90 minutes fly by.
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.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. 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. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One rule to know
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Does £45 add up?
It's worth running the numbers. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. 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. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
And the Champagne Upgrade? At £9.95 extra, it takes the total to £54.95 per person. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
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.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. Think of Friday as a head start on the weekend and Sunday as a gentle wind-down.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
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.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Don't be late. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Get the food in fast. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Keep water on the table. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Sort drinks in advance. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Planning for a bigger party
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. 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
Our address is Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, a short step from the canal and right by Sea Life.
- Broad Street: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk 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.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall and the ICC are all just round the corner. Book a 12pm sitting and you'll have plenty of time before the doors open. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Staying on after brunch
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.
Our signature cocktails borrow kitchen flavours like lychee, yuzu, rhubarb and elderflower, and they arrive 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.
The rest of our menu
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. 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.
Christmas brunch
Throughout December you can book brunch on any day. Work Christmas parties and catch-ups with friends both fit in nicely. Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day are our days off. Stuck for ideas? Gift vouchers are available from £25.
