Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: The Ultimate Lulu Wild Guide
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: The Ultimate Lulu Wild Guide
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. You get Chinese food, 90 minutes of drinks and a bill of £45 per person. We've written this to answer the questions people ask us most, from how a sitting runs to where you can park nearby.

What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. So instead of a fry-up with a cocktail, you sit down to two Chinese courses with unlimited drinks.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Who our brunch suits
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
Birmingham does a lot of bottomless brunches, and after a few they start to blur together. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We thought brunch should come from the same place as our dinner.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. The things people love about brunch are all still here, from the refills to the long lunch. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
What happens when you arrive
The set-up is easy to follow. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Grab a time. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Settle the package. 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.
- Let the clock run. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
A quick look at the menu
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. 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).
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.
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or tenderstem broccoli. Rice upgrades are available too, starting at +£1 for egg fried rice and going up to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
Vegans have two starters and a tofu main to choose from, and there's a vegetarian main as well. 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.
What's in the glass
Wild Brunch at £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Switching between Prosecco and a couple of cocktails keeps the sitting interesting.
Our bar loves lychee, which is why the Lychee Martini made it onto the brunch list. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
If you're off the booze
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. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
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. 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. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. 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.
Which day should you book?
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.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. 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.
Your start time changes the feel of the afternoon. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
First time? A few pointers
- Don't be late. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Don't skip the starter. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Ask for water. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Settle the package first. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Plan the trip home. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Planning for a bigger party
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. Everything is on the events hire page.
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: a walk of around ten minutes.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on 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.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Heading to a gig afterwards?
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. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
After your sitting
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. 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. Try the China Silk at £13.25, the Lucky Dragon at £12.75 or the Fortune Cookie at £13.50. Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
Coming back for dinner
Our brunch is just one side of Lulu Wild. 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.
December at Lulu Wild
December brings bottomless brunch seven days a week. Work Christmas parties and catch-ups with friends both fit in nicely. We're closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
Making a reservation
You can book on OpenTable, through our reservations page or by calling 0121 631 1739. Tell us about allergies at the booking stage, and settle the drinks package as a group.
