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.
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
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why there are no pancakes here
Birmingham has no shortage of boozy brunches, and plenty of them follow the same script. 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. The fun bits remain the same, with full glasses and no rush to be anywhere. The difference is what turns up on your plate.
Your sitting, explained
There isn't much to figure out. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Grab a time. Sittings start from 12pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the last one is at 4pm.
- Sort the drinks. You go for the Wild Brunch or add the Champagne Upgrade, and everyone at the table has the same one.
- 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.
Ninety minutes is plenty of time for food and refills, and you'll still have the whole evening free. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What you can order
The menu is short on purpose, so ordering never takes long. You pick one starter and one main each.
Openers: Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Chilli Wings, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
For your main: 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. And the rice can be swapped, with egg fried rice at +£1 and stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50 among the choices.
There are two vegan starters, a vegan tofu main and a vegetarian main on the list. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.

Choosing your drinks package
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.
Our bar loves lychee, which is why the Lychee Martini made it onto the brunch list. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Going for Champagne
For an extra £9.95 a head, unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco join the list. It makes sense for a birthday, an engagement or any big news.
Not drinking?
Non-drinkers can swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks, so nobody misses out. 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.
The maths behind the price
The sums are easy. A single Pornstar Martini costs £14 on our normal menu, which means a pair already hits £28 with nothing to eat. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes of those drinks on repeat.
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. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
Is the Champagne Upgrade worth it? At £9.95 extra, it takes the total to £54.95 per person. If Champagne and rosé Prosecco are what you'd be ordering anyway, it's an easy yes.
The £45 doesn't include sides or rice upgrades, so budget a little extra for those.
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.
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.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
Your start time changes the feel of the afternoon. A 12pm start leaves the rest of the day free, which is handy if you have plans later. The 4pm sitting rolls nicely into an evening out, especially on a Friday or Saturday when the bar is open late.
A few things we'd suggest
- Be punctual. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Eat early on. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Drink some water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Settle the package first. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Sort your lift in advance. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. The team will keep an eye out so the whole table has a good day.
Birthdays and hen dos
A fixed price for food and drink makes group plans much simpler. Our two private areas, The Nest and The Hideout, suit larger groups, and the events team can sort decorations and a pre-arranged cake. See our private hire page for the details.
Finding Lulu Wild
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: about two minutes on foot.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down 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.
It takes about ten minutes from New Street, and Broad Street sits a two-minute walk from our door. From Gas Street Basin or the ICC, it's an easy wander along the towpath.
Got tickets for later?
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. A lunchtime sitting leaves room to breathe before the curtain goes up. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
Not ready to leave?
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. 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.
The rest of our menu
There's a lot more to us than brunch. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. On the dinner menu you'll find aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with meat-free options all through it. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
