It's Chinese food from our kitchen, an hour and a half of refills and £45 each.

So what is our bottomless brunch?
We run a Chinese restaurant with a cocktail bar attached, sitting on the canal at Brindleyplace beside the Sea Life Centre. Brunch comes out of the same kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok dishes all week. That means a starter and a main from a Chinese kitchen, with your glass kept topped up.
Neon lights the room, and a get more info proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. Honestly, it has the energy of a Saturday night, just a lot earlier.
Who books bottomless brunch?
It works well for a group of friends getting the weekend started. It suits couples too, especially for a birthday or an anniversary. One price per head makes it easy for work teams to budget. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why we went Chinese with brunch
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 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. 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 brunch runs, start to finish
It's all very simple. This is roughly how your table's time plays out:
- Reserve a 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. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. The timer starts when you sit down, and we keep the drinks coming until it ends.
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.
A quick look at the menu
It's a compact menu, and that keeps things moving. It's one starter and one main per person.
Starters: Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Chilli Wings, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan), Bang Bang Chicken Salad 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. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
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.

The drinks packages
The Wild Brunch package, £45
Our core package includes both courses and 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Being able to move from bubbles to cocktails and back makes the 90 minutes fly by.
Lychee is a flavour our bar uses a lot, so the Lychee Martini felt like a natural fit. If you haven't tried one, brunch is a good place to start.
Adding the Champagne Upgrade
For an extra £9.95 a head, unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco join the list. Plenty of tables go for it when there's something to celebrate.
If you're off the booze
Non-drinkers can swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks, so nobody misses out. Our bar also makes alcohol-free cocktails, including a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini.
One thing to agree first
The whole table needs to share one drinks package. So if opinions are split on the upgrade, talk it through in advance.
The maths behind the price
It's worth running the numbers. Our standard menu prices the Pornstar Martini at £14, so a couple of them is £28 on their own. At brunch, £45 covers two courses and 90 minutes of 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. 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. Should Champagne be on your list anyway, the upgrade is a simple decision.
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. Book it if you'd like to dance in your seat between courses.
Friday and Sunday are calmer, so it's easier to talk. 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.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. If you book from 12pm, you'll finish early with the evening still ahead. 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
- Don't be late. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Order food early. A plate of wings early on does wonders for the rest of the day.
- Drink some water. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Decide on drinks beforehand. Since the whole table shares one package, agree on it in the group chat before the day.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
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
Group bookings are easy when food and drink sit under one price. 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.
