Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: Your Complete Guide to Lulu Wild

For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each.

Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
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's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. 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 has no shortage of boozy brunches, and plenty of them follow the same script. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
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. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
What happens when you arrive
It's all very simple. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Grab a time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Settle the package. 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.
- Sit back. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
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
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. You pick one starter and one main each.
First course: Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Chilli Wings, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
The main event: 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. 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. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
Bottomless drinks, explained
Wild Brunch: £45
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of 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.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
Not drinking?
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
The table rule
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Is it good value?
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. 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.
And the Champagne Upgrade? At £9.95 extra, it takes the total to £54.95 per person. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Which day should you book?
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.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. 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
- Be punctual. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Get the food in fast. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Drink some water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Agree the package early. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Plan the trip home. Have a taxi or train in mind before you arrive.
Please drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Planning for a bigger party
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. Details are on our private events page.
Location and travel
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: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: a walk of around ten minutes.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: close by, along the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. Already on the canal? Walk along 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. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
After your sitting
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. 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. Try the China Silk at £13.25, the Lucky Dragon at £12.75 or the Fortune Cookie at £13.50. Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
There's more to Lulu Wild
There's a lot more to us than brunch. 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. Brunch is a good first taste, and dinner is the next step.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
Christmas brunch
Throughout December you can book brunch on any day. Work Christmas parties and catch-ups with friends both fit in nicely. Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day are our days off. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
Reserving your sitting
You can book on OpenTable, through our reservations page or by calling 0121 631 1739. Flag allergies when booking, and sort out the drinks package with your group beforehand.
