Bottomless Brunch Birmingham for Hen Dos and Birthdays at Lulu Wild
Blog Article

Our food is Chinese, the drinks flow for 90 minutes and it costs £45 a head. This guide covers how it all works, what's on the menu, whether it's worth the money, which day to pick and how to find us.

So what is our bottomless brunch?
Lulu Wild is a Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar on the canal at Brindleyplace, right next to 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?
Friends who haven't seen each other in a while will feel right at home. 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. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why there are no pancakes here
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. 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 things people love about brunch are all still here, from the refills to the long lunch. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
What happens when you arrive
There isn't much to figure out. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Pick your sitting. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Settle the package. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Choose a starter and a main. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. Want to keep going? The bar stays open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
A quick look at the menu
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. Everyone orders a starter plus a main.
Openers: Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Chilli Wings, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
Mains: Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Sanpei Chicken, our version of Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); and Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce.
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.
Vegans have two starters and a tofu main to choose from, and there's a vegetarian main as well. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.

The drinks packages
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
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.
Options for non-drinkers
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.
One rule to know
One package applies to every person at the table. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Is it worth the money?
The sums are easy. On our regular cocktail menu, a Pornstar Martini is £14, so two of them comes to £28 before any food arrives. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. 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.
How does the upgrade stack up? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
The £45 doesn't include sides or rice upgrades, so budget a little extra for those.
Picking your day
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.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. Friday kicks things off early, whereas Sunday is made for taking it easy.
Because Saturday is usually first to fill, don't leave it late.
Your start time changes the feel of the afternoon. 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.
First time? A few pointers
- Be punctual. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Don't skip the starter. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Keep water on the table. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Sort your lift in advance. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Booking for a crowd
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. Bigger parties can use our private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and the events team can help with decorations or a cake arranged in advance. See our private hire page for the details.
Where we are
You'll find us at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, next to Sea Life on the canal.
- Broad Street: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: ten minutes or so walking.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along 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. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Brunch before a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. An early sitting sets you up nicely before an evening performance. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
When the 90 minutes are up
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. We're open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
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. Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
