Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: The Ultimate Lulu Wild Guide
Blog Article

Think Chinese plates, 90 minutes of top-ups and a price of £45 per person. 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.

Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. Brunch comes out of the same kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok dishes all week. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
Inside there's neon on the walls and a full cocktail bar doing the pouring. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Who books bottomless brunch?
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. 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 there are no pancakes here
You can find a bottomless more info brunch on most streets in Birmingham, usually with the same menu. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We thought brunch should come from the same place as our dinner.
Since Chinese cooking is what our team does daily, brunch gets their full attention too. The things people love about brunch are all still here, from the refills to the long lunch. The food is just a lot more interesting.
The format, step by step
It's all very simple. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Book a slot. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Choose a drinks package. It's either the Wild Brunch or the Champagne Upgrade, and the whole table has to match.
- Get your food in. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Settle in. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
The food, briefly
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. You pick one starter and one main each.
To start: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan).
Mains: 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. 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.
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. Being able to move from bubbles to cocktails and back makes the 90 minutes fly by.
You'll spot lychee across our cocktail menu, so a Lychee Martini on brunch made sense. 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. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Not drinking?
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Does £45 add up?
It's worth running the numbers. On our regular cocktail menu, a Pornstar Martini is £14, so two of them comes to £28 before any food arrives. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
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. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
Which day should you book?
Saturdays bring a DJ to every sitting, which gives them more of a party feel. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
Fridays and Sundays are more relaxed, which suits a catch-up. Friday makes an early start to the weekend, while Sunday lends itself to a slow, lazy afternoon.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
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. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
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.
- Sort drinks in advance. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Sort your lift in advance. Have a taxi or train in mind before you arrive.
Do drink sensibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Birthdays and hen dos
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. Everything is on the events hire page.
Finding Lulu Wild
You'll find us at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, next to Sea Life on the canal.
- Broad Street: you'll reach it in two minutes.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down the towpath.
Drivers can use Q-Park Brindleyplace, about two minutes on foot. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.

Brunch before a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. If your show is in the evening, an early brunch slot fits neatly in front. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
After your sitting
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. The bar serves 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. 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.
There's more to Lulu Wild
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. The main menu covers aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with veggie and vegan dishes throughout. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
