Say "bottomless brunch in Birmingham" and most people picture pancakes, poached eggs and a Bloody Mary. We decided to do something else with ours. You get Chinese food, 90 minutes of drinks and a bill of £45 per person. We've written this to answer the questions people ask us most, from how a sitting runs to where you can park nearby.

Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. So instead of a fry-up with a cocktail, you sit down to two Chinese courses with unlimited drinks.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Who it works for
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. For a team from work, nobody has to split a complicated bill. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why our brunch is Chinese food
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Eggs, toast, a Bloody Mary, then repeat next month somewhere else. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. 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
Nothing about it is complicated. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Book a slot. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Agree your 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. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Sit back. Your 90 minutes begin once you're seated, with refills right up to the end.
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 more info Fridays and Saturdays.
A quick look at the menu
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. It's one starter and one main per person.
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: 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).
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. 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. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.

The drinks packages
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
For an extra £9.95 a head, unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco join the list. If the day calls for a proper toast, this is the one.
Options for non-drinkers
If you're not drinking, you can switch the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
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. 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. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Your total per person comes to £54.95 with it added. If your group was always going to want Champagne, it's well worth adding.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Picking your day
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. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
Tips for your first brunch
- Arrive on time. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Don't skip the starter. Having food in front of you makes the whole afternoon more enjoyable.
- Ask for water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Agree the package early. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Plan the trip home. Check train times or book a taxi before you sit down.
Please drink responsibly. Our team will look after you and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Birthdays and hen dos
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
Our address is Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, a short step from the canal and right by Sea Life.
- 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.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. Already on the canal? Walk along the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Pairing brunch with a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. 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.
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. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. The full list is 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. The main menu covers aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with veggie and vegan dishes throughout. Enjoyed brunch? Come back one evening for the full menu.
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.
