Bottomless Brunch Birmingham for Hen Dos and Birthdays at Lulu Wild
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham for Hen Dos and Birthdays at Lulu Wild
Blog Article
Say "bottomless brunch in Birmingham" and most people picture pancakes, poached eggs and a Bloody Mary. We decided to do something else with ours. It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each. 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.

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. 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. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who comes to brunch?
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. 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.
Why our brunch is Chinese food
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. Our idea was simple: cook brunch the way we cook everything else.
Since Chinese cooking is what our team does daily, brunch gets their full attention too. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. The food is just a lot more interesting.
How a sitting works
There isn't much to figure out. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Reserve a sitting. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Sort the drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Order your food. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Let the clock run. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. 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. Each person chooses a starter and a main.
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.
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or tenderstem broccoli. Rice upgrades are available too, starting at +£1 for egg fried rice and going up to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
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.

What's in the glass
£45: the Wild Brunch
For £45 you get the two courses plus an hour and a half of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Switching between Prosecco and a couple of cocktails keeps the sitting interesting.
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.
Going for Champagne
The upgrade costs £9.95 per person and adds unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco. 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. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One rule to know
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Is it worth the money?
The sums are easy. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
Anyone expecting to drink more than two cocktails will find brunch the better deal. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
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.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
Which day should you book?
Every Saturday sitting has a DJ, so it's the loudest of the three. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day Lulu Wild bottomless brunch left. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
A few things we'd suggest
- Arrive on time. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Order food early. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Keep water on the table. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Sort drinks in advance. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Book your ride first. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
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.
Finding Lulu Wild
Head for Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, just off the canal and next door to the Sea Life Centre.
- Broad Street: you'll reach it in two minutes.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: ten minutes or so walking.
- 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. 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. From Gas Street Basin or the ICC, it's an easy wander along the towpath.
Pairing brunch with a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. If your show is in the evening, an early brunch slot fits neatly in front. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
After your sitting
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. Sunday to Thursday we close at 11pm, and on Friday and Saturday it's 2am.
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.
Coming back for dinner
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. We make our dim sum in-house, and you can have it steamed, pan-fried or baked. The main menu covers aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with veggie and vegan dishes throughout. 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.
