Lulu Wild Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Menu, Prices and Tips
Blog Article
The usual Birmingham bottomless brunch looks pretty familiar: avocado toast, pancakes and a glass of something fizzy. 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.

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. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Is it right for you?
It's a website good fit for friends catching up after a long week. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why our brunch looks different
Birmingham does a lot of bottomless brunches, and after a few they start to blur together. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. 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
Nothing about it is complicated. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Reserve a sitting. 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. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- 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.
Starters: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
For your main: 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.
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. 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.
Allergies are best flagged when you reserve, so our kitchen can plan ahead.
What's in the glass
Wild Brunch at £45
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Being able to move from bubbles to cocktails and back makes the 90 minutes fly by.
Our bar loves lychee, which is why the Lychee Martini made it onto the brunch list. If you haven't tried one, brunch is a good place to start.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. If the day calls for a proper toast, this is the one.
Options for non-drinkers
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.
One thing to agree first
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
The sums are easy. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of 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. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Picking your day
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
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.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Get here on the dot. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Order food early. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Ask for water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Sort drinks in advance. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
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
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: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along the towpath.
Drivers can use Q-Park Brindleyplace, about two minutes on foot. Honestly, with unlimited Prosecco on the table, we'd leave the car at home.
It takes about ten minutes from New Street, and Broad Street sits a two-minute walk from our door. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
Being in Brindleyplace puts us close to Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. Book a 12pm sitting and you'll have plenty of time before the doors open. 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. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. 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. Our dim sum is made in-house, and it comes steamed, pan-fried or baked. Our full food menu includes aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes. 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.
