Our bottomless brunch in a nutshell
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. You get a proper Chinese starter and main, with drinks that keep coming while you eat.
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 our brunch suits
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. Couples marking a birthday or an anniversary will find it works just as well. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. If you're off to a show around the corner, an early sitting fits neatly before it.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
There are lots of bottomless brunches in this city, and many of them look almost identical. Pancakes, bacon and fizz, then the same again at the next place. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. What makes a brunch great is still on the table: plenty of drinks and a slow afternoon. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
How a sitting works
The set-up is easy to follow. Once you're through the door, it goes like this:
- Grab a time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Sort the drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Order your food. Every main includes rice, served as one bowl per pair.
- Sit back. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
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.
The food, briefly
The menu is short on purpose, so ordering never takes long. You pick one starter and one main each.
Openers: Crispy Chilli Wings, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad and Crispy Lotus Salad (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.
If you're still hungry, sides are extra and run from check here £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.
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.

What's in the glass
Wild Brunch at £45
With the Wild Brunch, your two courses come with 90 minutes of free-flowing 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.
Champagne Upgrade: +£9.95
Another £9.95 each brings unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco into the mix. 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 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.
Working out the value
The sums are easy. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. 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. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. Do note there's an optional 12.5% service charge on the bill.
What about the Champagne Upgrade? Adding it brings your brunch to £54.95 per person. If Champagne and rosé Prosecco are what you'd be ordering anyway, it's an easy yes.
Keep in mind that sides and rice upgrades are charged on top of the £45 price.
Picking your day
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.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. Think of Friday as a head start on the weekend and Sunday as a gentle wind-down.
Expect Saturday to book up before Friday or Sunday.
Your start time changes the feel of the afternoon. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. 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
- Get here on the dot. 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.
- Keep water on the table. 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.
- Know how you're getting back. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
Please 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. For larger groups we have two private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and our events team will help with decorations, plus a cake if agreed beforehand. Details are on our private events page.
How to find us
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: ten minutes or so walking.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down 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.
From New Street station it's around ten minutes on foot, with Broad Street just two minutes away from us. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Got tickets for later?
Being in Brindleyplace puts us close to Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall. Book a 12pm sitting and you'll have plenty of time before the doors open. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
After your sitting
There's no need to leave once your sitting finishes. Sunday to Thursday we close at 11pm, and on Friday and Saturday it's 2am.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
Beyond the brunch menu
There's a lot more to us than brunch. Our dim sum is made in-house, and it comes 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.
We're also supporting Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner for 2026/2027, which is a cause close to our hearts.
