Bottomless brunch, the Lulu Wild way
Lulu Wild is a Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar on the canal at Brindleyplace, right next to 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. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Is it right for you?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. For office teams, the fixed price keeps expenses simple. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
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 our brunch to match what our kitchen actually does.
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 difference is what turns up on your plate.
Your sitting, explained
Nothing about it is complicated. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Reserve a sitting. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Sort the drinks. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Choose a starter and a main. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
Ninety minutes is plenty of time for food and refills, and you'll bottomless brunch Birmingham still have the whole evening free. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What's on the menu
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. It's one starter and one main per person.
Openers: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
The main event: 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.
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. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice 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.

Choosing your drinks package
£45: the Wild Brunch
With the Wild Brunch, your two courses come with 90 minutes of free-flowing 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. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Going for Champagne
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
If you're off the booze
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One rule to know
We can't mix packages on a single table. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Working out the value
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. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes of those drinks on repeat.
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. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
How does the upgrade stack up? 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.
The £45 doesn't include sides or rice upgrades, so budget a little extra for those.
Friday, Saturday or Sunday?
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.
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.
Saturdays go quickest, so early booking is a good idea.
It's worth thinking about the time as well as the day. 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.
A few things we'd suggest
- Be punctual. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Get the food in fast. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Ask for water. It's free, and future you will be grateful.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Know how you're getting back. 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.
Planning for a bigger party
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. 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. Everything is on the events hire page.
Getting here
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: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- 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. 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. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. An early sitting sets you up nicely before an evening performance. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
Staying on after brunch
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. Our hours run to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
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.
Beyond the brunch menu
There's a lot more to us than brunch. We make our dim sum in-house, and you can have it steamed, pan-fried or baked. Our full food menu includes aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes. 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.
Bottomless brunch in December
