Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
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.
Inside there's neon on the walls and a full cocktail bar doing the pouring. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Who it works for
Friends who haven't seen each other in a while will feel right at home. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
Why our brunch is Chinese food
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. We wanted our brunch to match what our kitchen actually does.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food click here every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. The fun bits remain the same, with full glasses and no rush to be anywhere. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
What happens when you arrive
Nothing about it is complicated. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Grab a time. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Agree your drinks. 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. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
What's on the menu
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. It's one starter and one main per person.
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).
Second course: Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Sanpei Chicken, based on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free).
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. And the rice can be swapped, with egg fried rice at +£1 and stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50 among the choices.
If you're vegan, you'll find two starters and a main, plus a vegetarian main for veggies. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.

Your drinks options
Wild Brunch: £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited 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. Never had one before? Brunch is the perfect chance to try it.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Options for non-drinkers
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.
Worth sorting before you arrive
One package applies to every person at the table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Working out the value
It's worth running the numbers. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes of those drinks on repeat.
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. 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. If Champagne and rosé Prosecco are what you'd be ordering anyway, it's an easy yes.
The £45 doesn't include sides or rice upgrades, so budget a little extra for those.
Which day should you book?
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
Our Friday and Sunday sittings tend to be quieter and easier on the voice. Friday makes an early start to the weekend, while Sunday lends itself to a slow, lazy afternoon.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. A 12pm start leaves the rest of the day free, which is handy if you have plans later. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
Making the most of your 90 minutes
- Don't be late. 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.
- Keep water on the table. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Book your ride first. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Booking for a crowd
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
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: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a short walk along the towpath.
Drivers can use Q-Park Brindleyplace, about two minutes on foot. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Heading to a gig afterwards?
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. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
Not ready to leave?
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
Our signature cocktails borrow kitchen flavours like lychee, yuzu, rhubarb and elderflower, and they arrive with dry ice. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
Beyond the brunch menu
Brunch is only one part of what we do. We make our dim sum in-house, and you can have it 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. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
Our charity partner for 2026/2027 is Birmingham Dogs Home, and we're really pleased to be backing the work they do.
