Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: What to Order at Lulu Wild
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham: What to Order at Lulu Wild
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. We do ours a bit differently. 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.

Bottomless brunch, the Lulu Wild way
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Who comes to brunch?
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. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why our brunch looks different
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.
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.
The format, step by step
The set-up is easy to follow. This is roughly how your table's time plays out:
- Book a slot. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Settle the 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.
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.
The food, briefly
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. Each person bottomless dim sum Birmingham chooses a starter and a main.
Starters: 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.
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
Vegans have two starters and a tofu main to choose from, and there's a vegetarian main as well. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.
Allergies are best flagged when you reserve, so our kitchen can plan ahead.
The drinks packages
Wild Brunch: £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited 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. 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. 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.
One thing to agree first
We can't mix packages on a single table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Is it worth the money?
Let's do the arithmetic. 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. If you only want one glass and something light, our lunch menu is probably a better fit. 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. 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.
Choosing between the three days
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. 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.
Because Saturday is usually first to fill, don't leave it late.
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.
First time? A few pointers
- Don't be late. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Get the food in fast. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Drink some water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Agree the package early. 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.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Bringing a group
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. 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.
Where we are
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: roughly two minutes away walking.
- Utilita Arena: around five minutes' walk along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: close by, along 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.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. From Gas Street Basin or the ICC, it's an easy wander along the towpath.
Heading to a gig afterwards?
Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall and the ICC are all just round the corner. 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.
After your sitting
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. 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.
Coming back for dinner
There's a lot more to us than brunch. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. Our full food menu includes aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
One more thing we're proud of: Birmingham Dogs Home is our charity partner for 2026/2027, and we're glad to be supporting them.
