Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Your Complete Guide to Lulu Wild
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Your Complete Guide to Lulu Wild
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. We do ours a bit differently. It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each. This guide covers how it all works, what's on the menu, whether it's worth the money, which day to pick and how to find us.

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. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that read more 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. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who our brunch suits
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. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why our brunch looks different
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 thought brunch should come from the same place as our dinner.
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 brunch runs, start to finish
Nothing about it is complicated. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Book a slot. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Choose a drinks package. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Pick two courses. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What's on the menu
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. It's one starter and one main per person.
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: 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.
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. 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. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
Choosing your drinks package
Wild Brunch: £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of 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. If you haven't tried one, brunch is a good place to start.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
The upgrade costs £9.95 per person and adds unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Not drinking?
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. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Working out the value
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.
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 your group was always going to want Champagne, it's well worth adding.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Picking your day
Every Saturday sitting has a DJ, so it's the loudest of the three. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
Our Friday and Sunday sittings tend to be quieter and easier on the voice. Friday kicks things off early, whereas Sunday is made for taking it easy.
Because Saturday is usually first to fill, don't leave it late.
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.
Tips for your first brunch
- Be punctual. 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.
- Keep water on the table. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Sort your lift in advance. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Do drink sensibly. 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. 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. See our private hire page for the details.
How to find us
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: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on 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.
It takes about ten minutes from New Street, and Broad Street sits a two-minute walk from our door. From Gas Street Basin or the ICC, it's an easy wander along the towpath.
Got tickets for later?
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. 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.
Not ready to leave?
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
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.
Beyond the brunch menu
There's a lot more to us than brunch. Our dim sum is made in-house, and it comes steamed, pan-fried or baked. 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.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
