Say "bottomless brunch in Birmingham" and most people picture pancakes, poached eggs and a Bloody Mary. We do ours a bit differently. It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each. We've written this to answer the questions people ask us most, from how a sitting runs to where you can park nearby.

| Sittings | From 12pm, last sitting at 4pm |
| Length | 90 minutes |

| Location | Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP |
So what is our bottomless brunch?
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. Brunch comes out of the same kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok dishes all week. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
The dining room is lit with neon, and our bar looks after the drinks. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Who books bottomless brunch?
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. For office teams, the fixed price keeps expenses simple. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
Birmingham has no shortage of boozy brunches, and plenty of them follow the same script. Pancakes, bacon and fizz, then the same again at the next place. 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. You still get the long, chatty afternoon and the bottomless glass that make brunch fun. The food is just a lot more interesting.
The format, step by step
It's all very simple. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Pick your sitting. 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.
- Choose a starter and a main. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- 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. Want to keep going? The bar stays open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
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).
Mains: Sanpei Chicken, a take on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free); Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); and Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork.
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. Two mains, Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu, are gluten-free.
If anyone has an allergy, let us know at the booking stage so the kitchen is ready.
The drinks packages
Wild Brunch at £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Having two cocktails alongside the fizz means you're not stuck on one drink all afternoon.
Our bar loves lychee, which is why the Lychee Martini made it onto the brunch list. Never had one before? Brunch is the perfect chance to try it.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
The upgrade costs £9.95 per person and adds unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Not drinking?
Non-drinkers can swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks, so nobody misses out. We mix alcohol-free cocktails as well, such as a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
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.
Does £45 add up?
Let's do the arithmetic. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. Brunch, at £45, gets you two courses and 90 minutes of those drinks on repeat.
If you'd normally have more than a couple of drinks with lunch, the package pays for itself quickly. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
And the Champagne Upgrade? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. For a table that would order Champagne regardless, the upgrade makes a lot of sense.
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. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
Our Friday and Sunday sittings tend to be quieter and easier on the voice. Friday kicks things off early, whereas Sunday is made for taking it easy.
Because Saturday is usually first to fill, don't leave it late.
It's worth thinking about the time as well as the day. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
A few things we'd suggest
- Don't be late. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Get the food in fast. 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.
- Settle the package first. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Plan the trip home. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Bringing a group
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. Details are on our private events page.
Where we are
Our address bottomless brunch Birmingham 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: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: about ten minutes' walk.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on the towpath.
If you're coming by car, Q-Park Brindleyplace is a two-minute walk. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
It takes about ten minutes from New Street, and Broad Street sits a two-minute walk from our door. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Pairing brunch with a show
We're within easy walking distance of Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. Book a 12pm sitting and you'll have plenty of time before the doors open. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Staying on after brunch
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. 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. We'd point you towards the China Silk (£13.25), the Fortune Cookie (£13.50) or the Lucky Dragon (£12.75). Browse every drink on our cocktail bar page.
Coming back for dinner
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. 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. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
