Bottomless Brunch Birmingham for Hen Dos and Birthdays at Lulu Wild
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. We decided to do something else with ours. Think Chinese plates, 90 minutes of top-ups and a price 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.

So what is our bottomless brunch?
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. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Who our brunch suits
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
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 ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The food is just a lot more interesting.
How brunch runs, start to finish
The set-up is easy to follow. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Book a slot. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Agree your drinks. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Order your food. 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.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. On Fridays and Saturdays the bar doesn't close until 2am, so there's no rush.
The food, briefly
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. You pick one starter and one main each.
Starters: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
For your main: 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).
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or 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.
Please mention any allergies when booking, giving our kitchen time to prepare.
What's in the glass
£45: the Wild Brunch
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited 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.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. If the day calls for a proper toast, this is the one.
Driving or teetotal?
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
One package applies to every person at the table. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
Working out the 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. The brunch price of £45 includes both courses and an hour and a half of bottomless drinks.
Anyone expecting to drink more than two cocktails will find brunch the better deal. After just one drink and a smaller plate? Our lunchtime menu might suit you more. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
The best day for brunch
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. That makes it ideal for groups who want to make some noise.
Our Friday and Sunday sittings tend to be quieter and easier on the voice. 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. 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
- Be punctual. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Don't skip the starter. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Drink some water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Agree the package early. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Know how you're getting back. Have a taxi or train in mind before you arrive.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Birthdays and hen dos
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. 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.
Finding Lulu Wild
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: you'll reach it in two minutes.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down the towpath.
If you're coming by car, Q-Park Brindleyplace is a two-minute walk. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
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. 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.
Keeping the day going
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. Our hours run to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
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. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
Coming back for dinner
Brunch is only one part of what we do. 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.
