You get Chinese food, 90 minutes of drinks and a bill of £45 per person. 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.

What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
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. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who books bottomless 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. 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
Birmingham has no shortage of boozy brunches, and plenty of them follow the same script. Pancakes, bacon and fizz, then the same again at the next place. We thought brunch should come from the same place as our dinner.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food 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. 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:
- Book a slot. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Settle the package. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Pick two courses. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
Ninety minutes is plenty of time for food and refills, and you'll still have the whole evening free. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
Brunch food at a glance
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. You pick one starter and one main each.
First course: 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: 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. 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.

The drinks packages
Wild Brunch: £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Having two cocktails alongside the fizz means you're not stuck on one drink all afternoon.
You'll spot lychee across our cocktail menu, so a Lychee Martini on brunch made sense. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Going for Champagne
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.
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.
Worth sorting before you arrive
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Working out the value
Let's do the arithmetic. 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. 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.
And the Champagne Upgrade? 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.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
Choosing between the three days
Every Saturday sitting has a DJ, so it's the loudest of the three. That makes it ideal for groups who want to make some noise.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. Friday kicks things off early, whereas Sunday is made for taking it easy.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
It's worth thinking about the time as well as the day. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
First time? A few pointers
- Arrive on time. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Eat early on. 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.
- Sort drinks in advance. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Please drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Planning for a bigger party
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. Everything is on the events hire page.
Getting here
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: a two-minute walk away.
- 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: close by, 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.
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.
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. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
After your sitting
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. The bar serves website until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. Try the China Silk at £13.25, the Lucky Dragon at £12.75 or the Fortune Cookie at £13.50. 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. 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
December brings bottomless brunch seven days a week. It's a useful option for work dos, festive meet-ups and tired shoppers. We're closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
