What is bottomless brunch at Lulu Wild?
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. 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.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Who our brunch suits
Friends who haven't seen each other in a while will feel right at home. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why there are no pancakes here
You can find a bottomless brunch on most streets in Birmingham, usually with the same menu. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. 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. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
The format, step by step
It's all very simple. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Grab a time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Settle the package. You go for the Wild Brunch or add the Champagne Upgrade, and everyone at the table has the same one.
- Order your food. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Settle in. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. On Fridays and Saturdays the bar doesn't close until 2am, so there's no rush.
What you can order
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. Each person chooses a starter and a main.
Openers: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
For your main: 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. Rice upgrades are available too, starting at +£1 for egg fried rice and going up to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
There are two vegan starters, a vegan tofu main and a vegetarian main on the list. 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.
What's in the glass
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.
The Lychee Martini is a nod to our bar, where lychee turns up in plenty of our cocktails. If you haven't tried one, brunch is a good place to start.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
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.
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. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
The table rule
One package applies to every person at the table. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
Does £45 add up?
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. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. After just one drink and a smaller plate? Our lunchtime menu might suit you more. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Which day should you book?
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.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
Your start time changes the feel of the afternoon. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
Tips for your first brunch
- Be punctual. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Don't skip the starter. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Ask for water. 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.
- Plan the trip home. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
Please drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Planning for a bigger party
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. Bigger parties can use our private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and the events team can help with decorations or a cake arranged in advance. Everything is on the events hire page.
How to find us
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.

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. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-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.
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.
More than brunch
Brunch is only one part of what we do. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. Have a look at our food menu for aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, alongside plenty of vegan choices. Brunch is a good first taste, and dinner is the next step.
