It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each. Below we've put the whole thing in one place, from the drinks and food to the value, the best day and the route here.

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. The brunch plates are cooked by the team who handle our dim sum and wok dishes every day. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
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.
Is it right for you?
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. Work teams will like that one price covers the whole table. Heading to a show nearby? Grab an early sitting first.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
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.
Our chefs work the wok every day, and brunch is cooked with exactly the same attention. The things people love about brunch are all still here, from the refills to the long lunch. Only the plates are different, and they're far more exciting.
What happens when you arrive
It's all very simple. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Book a slot. Friday, Saturday and Sunday sittings begin from 12pm, and the last goes at 4pm.
- Agree your drinks. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Get your food in. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Let the clock run. 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
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. It's one starter and read more one main per person.
First course: 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).
Bigger appetites can add sides, from £3.50 to £6.00, such as pak choi with garlic, egg fried rice or tenderstem broccoli. You can also upgrade your rice, from egg fried rice at +£1 up to stir-fried shredded chicken noodles at +£4.50.
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.

What's in the glass
£45: the Wild Brunch
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. With fizz and two martinis to rotate through, nothing gets repetitive.
Lychee is a flavour our bar uses a lot, so the Lychee Martini felt like a natural fit. It's a lighter, fruitier pick if you fancy a break from the fizz.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
Options for non-drinkers
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
The table rule
One package applies to every person at the table. It's worth having that chat in the group chat before you turn up.
Working out the value
Let's do the arithmetic. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. For £45 you get the food plus 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis and Lychee Martinis.
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. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
And the Champagne Upgrade? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. 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.
Friday, Saturday or Sunday?
If you want music, come on a Saturday, when a DJ plays each sitting. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
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.
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
- Get here on the dot. Sittings run to a timetable, and arriving late eats into your time.
- Get the food in fast. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Pace yourself with water. It costs nothing and helps a lot.
- Agree the package early. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Plan the trip home. Sort the journey home before your first Prosecco, not after your fourth.
Look after yourselves and drink responsibly. Our staff are here to make sure you have a great time and get home safe.
Booking for a crowd
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. See our private hire page for the details.
Getting here
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: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: roughly ten minutes on foot.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: an easy walk on the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. That said, bottomless drinks and driving don't mix, so public transport makes more sense.
Coming from New Street, the walk is about ten minutes, and Broad Street is only two minutes from our door. Anyone near Gas Street Basin or the ICC can stroll over along the towpath.
Got tickets for later?
Utilita Arena, Symphony Hall and the ICC are all just round the corner. A lunchtime sitting leaves room to breathe before the curtain goes up. Our pre-show dining menu suits anyone eating nearer the show.
After your sitting
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.
The signature list draws on ingredients from our kitchen, like elderflower, lychee, yuzu and rhubarb, all served with dry ice. Good ones to try are the Lucky Dragon (£12.75), the China Silk (£13.25) and the Fortune Cookie (£13.50). The full list is on our cocktail bar page.
Beyond the brunch menu
There's a lot more to us than brunch. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. On the dinner menu you'll find aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, with meat-free options all through it. If brunch wins you over, dinner is worth a return trip.
For 2026/2027 we've teamed up with Birmingham Dogs Home as our charity partner, and we're proud to support them.
Brunch over the festive season
December brings bottomless brunch seven days a week. Work Christmas parties and catch-ups with friends both fit in nicely. Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day are our days off. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
Booking your table
Book via OpenTable, on our booking page or by phone on 0121 631 1739. Mention any allergies when you book, and agree the drinks package with your table first.
