Bottomless Brunch Birmingham at Lulu Wild: The Full Guide
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham at Lulu Wild: The Full Guide
Blog Article
The usual Birmingham bottomless brunch looks pretty familiar: avocado toast, pancakes and a glass of something fizzy. We do ours a bit differently. 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?
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. So instead of a fry-up with a cocktail, you sit down to two Chinese courses with unlimited 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 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. 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.
A brunch that skips the eggs
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.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
How a sitting works
The set-up is easy to follow. Once you're through the door, it goes 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.
- Pick two courses. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Settle in. 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. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The food, briefly
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. It's one starter and one main per person.
First course: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Second course: 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. And the rice can be swapped, with egg fried rice at +£1 and stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50 among the choices.
Vegans have two starters and a tofu main to choose from, and there's a vegetarian main as well. Both the Spicy King Prawn and the Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are gluten-free.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
Your drinks options
Wild Brunch: £45
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. With fizz and two martinis to rotate through, nothing gets repetitive.
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.
Champagne Upgrade: +£9.95
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.
One thing to agree first
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 good value?
Let's do the arithmetic. A single Pornstar Martini costs £14 on our normal menu, which means a pair already hits £28 with nothing to eat. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited 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.
And the Champagne Upgrade? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
The £45 doesn't include sides or rice upgrades, so budget a little extra for those.
The best day for brunch
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. That makes it ideal for groups who want to make some noise.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. Think of Friday as a head start on the weekend and Sunday as a gentle wind-down.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
It's worth thinking about the time as well as the day. A 12pm start leaves the rest of the day free, which is handy if you have plans later. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Get here on the dot. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Order food early. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Pace yourself with water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Agree the package early. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Sort your lift in advance. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Bringing a group
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. 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: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: a walk of around ten minutes.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on 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.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Pairing brunch with a show
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. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
Keeping the day going
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. We're open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The signature list draws on ingredients from our kitchen, like elderflower, lychee, yuzu and rhubarb, all served with dry ice. 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.
The rest of our menu
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. Have a look at our food menu for aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, alongside plenty of vegan choices. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
Brunch over the festive season
December brings bottomless brunch seven days a week. It suits office parties, family get-togethers and a breather from the shops. Note that we shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Need a gift? Our vouchers start from £25.
Reserving your sitting
You can book on OpenTable, through our reservations page or by calling 0121 631 1739. Tell us about allergies at the booking stage, and settle the drinks package as a group.
