Bottomless brunch, the Lulu Wild way
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. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Is it right for you?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. 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. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. Our idea was simple: cook brunch the way we cook everything else.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
What happens when you arrive
It's all very simple. 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.
- Sort the drinks. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Pick two courses. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Settle in. 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.
The food, briefly
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. You pick one starter and one main each.
Openers: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Mains: 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. And the rice can be swapped, with egg fried rice at +£1 and stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50 among the choices.
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.

Your drinks options
The Wild Brunch package, £45
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Having two cocktails alongside the fizz means you're not stuck on one drink all afternoon.
Lychee is a flavour our bar uses a lot, so the Lychee Martini felt like a natural fit. First-timers usually find it a nice change from the Pornstar Martini.
Going for Champagne
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
Driving or teetotal?
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Does £45 add up?
It's worth running the numbers. 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.
Anyone expecting to drink more than two cocktails will find brunch the better deal. 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.
How does the upgrade stack up? 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. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
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. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
Tips for your first brunch
- Get here on the dot. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Order food early. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Keep water on the table. 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.
- Plan the trip home. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Please drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Bringing a group
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. Our two private areas, The Nest and The Hideout, suit larger groups, and the events team can sort decorations and a pre-arranged cake. Details are on our private events page.
Where we are
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: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: ten minutes or so walking.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: close by, along the towpath.
If you're coming by car, Q-Park Brindleyplace is a two-minute walk. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Got tickets for later?
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. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
Keeping the day going
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.
The signature list draws on ingredients from our kitchen, like elderflower, lychee, yuzu and rhubarb, all served with dry ice. 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.
Coming back for dinner
There's a lot more to us than brunch. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. Have a look at our food menu for aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, alongside plenty of vegan choices. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
