Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: The Ultimate Lulu Wild Guide
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: The Ultimate Lulu Wild Guide
Blog Article
The usual Birmingham bottomless brunch looks pretty familiar: avocado toast, pancakes and a glass of something fizzy. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. 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.

Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
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 books bottomless brunch?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
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 kitchen actually does.
Since Chinese cooking is what our team does daily, brunch gets their full attention too. The fun bits remain the same, with full glasses and no rush to be anywhere. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
How a sitting works
The set-up is easy to follow. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Pick your sitting. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Agree your drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Order your food. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Sit back. 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. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
A quick look at the menu
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. It's one starter and one main per person.
Starters: 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. 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. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.

Choosing your drinks package
Wild Brunch: £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. With fizz and two martinis to rotate through, nothing gets repetitive.
Lychee is a flavour our bar uses a lot, so the Lychee Martini felt like a natural fit. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
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.
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.
Worth sorting before you arrive
One package applies to every person at the table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
The maths behind the price
Let's do the arithmetic. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes bottomless cocktails Birmingham of those drinks on repeat.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. 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.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Choosing between the three days
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. Friday makes an early start to the weekend, while Sunday lends itself to a slow, lazy afternoon.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Be punctual. 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.
- Drink some water. It's free, and future you will be grateful.
- Sort drinks in advance. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Know how you're getting back. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Birthdays and hen dos
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. See our private hire page for the details.
How to find us
You'll find us at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, next to Sea Life on the canal.
- Broad Street: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: a walk of around ten minutes.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. Honestly, with unlimited Prosecco on the table, we'd leave the car at home.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Pairing brunch with a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. 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.
Not ready to leave?
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. 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). Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
