What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. 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.
Who our brunch suits
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. For a team from work, nobody has to split a complicated bill. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early 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. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. We wanted our brunch to match what our check here kitchen actually does.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
Your sitting, explained
Nothing about it is complicated. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Grab a time. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Agree your drinks. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Pick two courses. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Settle in. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
Ninety minutes is plenty of time for food and refills, and you'll still have the whole evening free. On Fridays and Saturdays the bar doesn't close until 2am, so there's no rush.
A quick look at the menu
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. It's one starter and one main per person.
To start: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Mains: Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Sanpei Chicken, based on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free).
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. You can also upgrade your rice, from egg fried rice at +£1 up to stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50.
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.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
What's in the glass
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.
The Lychee Martini is a nod to our bar, where lychee turns up in plenty of our cocktails. First-timers usually find it a nice change from the Pornstar Martini.
Champagne Upgrade: +£9.95
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.
If you're off the booze
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One rule to know
We can't mix packages on a single table. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
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. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
Anyone expecting to drink more than two cocktails will find brunch the better deal. If you only want one glass and something light, our lunch menu is probably a better fit. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
And the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. 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.
The best day for brunch
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.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. Friday makes an early start to the weekend, while Sunday lends itself to a slow, lazy afternoon.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
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. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
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. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Ask for water. It's free, and future you will be grateful.
- Settle the package first. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Know how you're getting back. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Booking for a crowd
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. 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
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.
- Broad Street: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Heading to a gig afterwards?
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. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Not ready to leave?
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. We're open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
Coming back for dinner
Our brunch is just one side of Lulu Wild. 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.
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.
