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. Brunch comes out of the same kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok dishes all week. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
Inside there's neon on the walls and a full cocktail bar doing the pouring. Most guests say it feels like going out, only it begins around noon.
Who it works for
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. For office teams, the fixed price keeps expenses simple. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
You can find a bottomless brunch on most streets in Birmingham, usually with the click here same menu. Pancakes, bacon and fizz, then the same again at the next place. We wanted our brunch to match what our kitchen actually does.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. The things people love about brunch are all still here, from the refills to the long lunch. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
The format, step by step
Nothing about it is complicated. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Reserve a sitting. 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.
- Get your food in. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. 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. If you'd like to stay on, our bar runs until 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
Brunch food at a glance
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. Everyone orders a starter plus a main.
To start: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
Second course: 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.
If you're still hungry, sides are extra and run from £3.50 to £6.00, including egg fried rice, pak choi with garlic and tenderstem broccoli. You can also upgrade your rice, from egg fried rice at +£1 up to stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50.
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.

Bottomless drinks, explained
Wild Brunch at £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.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
Driving or teetotal?
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. There's a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini on our alcohol-free list too.
One thing to agree first
One package applies to every person at the table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Is it worth the money?
Let's do the arithmetic. On our regular cocktail menu, a Pornstar Martini is £14, so two of them comes to £28 before any food arrives. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
For a table that likes a few drinks, the maths works in your favour early on. 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? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. 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.
Picking your day
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.
On a Friday or Sunday you can chat without shouting over the music. 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.
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
- Be punctual. Your 90 minutes are fixed, so a late start only shortens your sitting.
- Order food early. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Pace yourself with water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Know how you're getting back. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Birthdays and hen dos
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. 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
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.
- Broad Street: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: about five minutes along the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on 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.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Brunch before a show
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. If you'd rather eat later and faster, see the show menu.
When the 90 minutes are up
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
The signature list draws on ingredients from our kitchen, like elderflower, lychee, yuzu and rhubarb, all served with dry ice. Good ones to try are the Lucky Dragon (£12.75), the China Silk (£13.25) and the Fortune Cookie (£13.50). Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
Beyond the brunch menu
Brunch is only one part of what we do. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. Have a look at our food menu for aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, alongside plenty of vegan choices. 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.
