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. 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. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Is it right for you?
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. 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 same menu. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. Our idea was simple: cook brunch the way we cook everything else.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. The food is just a lot more interesting.
The format, step by step
There isn't much to figure out. A normal sitting looks like this:
- Pick your sitting. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Choose a drinks package. You go for the Wild Brunch or add the Champagne Upgrade, and everyone at the table has the same one.
- Order your food. Mains arrive with a bowl of rice for every two people.
- Sit back. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
Ninety minutes gives you time for both courses and a good few rounds without losing the whole day. Anyone not ready to leave can carry on, since we're open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What's on the menu
There's a focused set of dishes, so nobody spends ages deciding. Everyone orders a starter plus a main.
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: 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.
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or tenderstem broccoli. And the rice can be swapped, with egg fried rice at +£1 and stir-fried shredded chicken more info 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.
Please mention any allergies when booking, giving our kitchen time to prepare.
The drinks packages
£45: the Wild Brunch
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless 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. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
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?
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 rule to know
We can't mix packages on a single table. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Working out the value
It's worth running the numbers. A single Pornstar Martini costs £14 on our normal menu, which means a pair already hits £28 with nothing to eat. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
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. One more thing for the budget: there's an optional 12.5% service charge.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
Any sides or rice upgrades come on top of the £45, so factor them in if needed.
The best day for brunch
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. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Saturday sittings fill first, so book well ahead if that's your day.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. Pick the 4pm sitting if you'd like brunch to carry on into the night, ideally on a Friday or Saturday.
First time? A few pointers
- Don't be late. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Order food early. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Drink some water. Your evening will be better for it.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. One package covers everyone, so sort it out with your group well before you arrive.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Bringing a group
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. 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.
How to find us
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: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: roughly five minutes following the canal.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- 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. Then again, with bottomless drinks involved, the train is usually the smarter option.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
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.
Staying on after brunch
Your brunch ending doesn't mean you have to go. Our hours run to 11pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
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.
The rest of our menu
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. The dim sum is made right here, in steamed, pan-fried and baked versions. 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.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
