You get Chinese food, 90 minutes of drinks and a bill of £45 per person. 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?
Lulu Wild is a Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar on the canal at Brindleyplace, right next to 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.
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.
Is it right for you?
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. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why our brunch is Chinese food
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 our brunch to match what our kitchen actually does.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. 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 a sitting works
The set-up is easy to follow. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Grab a time. 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.
- Get your food in. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
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.
A quick look at the menu
The menu is short on purpose, so ordering never takes long. Each person chooses a starter and a main.
First course: 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: 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.
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or tenderstem broccoli. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
If you're vegan, you'll find two starters and a main, plus a vegetarian main for veggies. Both the Spicy King Prawn and the Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are gluten-free.
Allergies are best flagged when you reserve, so our kitchen can plan ahead.
What's in the glass
Wild Brunch at £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.
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
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.
The table rule
One package applies to every person at the table. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
Is it good value?
The sums are easy. A single Pornstar Martini costs £14 on our normal menu, which means a pair already hits £28 with nothing to eat. 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. 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. 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.
Friday, Saturday or Sunday?
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without click here shouting over the music. Think of Friday as a head start on the weekend and Sunday as a gentle wind-down.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. A 12pm start leaves the rest of the day free, which is handy if you have plans later. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
First time? A few pointers
- Arrive on time. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Get the food in fast. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Pace yourself with water. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Book your ride first. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Birthdays and hen dos
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. See our private hire page for the details.
Where we are
You'll find us at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, next to Sea Life on the canal.
- Broad Street: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on the towpath.
Drivers can use Q-Park Brindleyplace, about two minutes on foot. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
It takes about ten minutes from New Street, and Broad Street sits a two-minute walk from our door. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Pairing brunch with a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. A lunchtime sitting leaves room to breathe before the curtain goes up. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Staying on after brunch
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. Our hours run to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
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.
There's more to Lulu Wild
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. 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.
Our charity partner for 2026/2027 is Birmingham Dogs Home, and we're really pleased to be backing the work they do.
