Bottomless brunch is a London weekend ritual: a fixed price for a brunch dish plus free-flowing drinks within a set time, usually around 90 minutes to two hours. Lively, sociable and great for groups and celebrations, it is served everywhere from neighbourhood restaurants to themed party venues. Here is how it works and where to go.
How it works
You pay one price for a main course and unlimited drinks (typically prosecco, cocktails, beer or wine) for your time slot. Venues are strictly over-18s with ID checks, and slots are tightly timed, so arrive promptly to get your money's worth.
Where to go
Soho, Shoreditch, Clapham and the South Bank are bottomless-brunch heartlands, with options from relaxed to full-on party brunches with DJs and drag shows. Pick the vibe to suit your group, calm catch-up or big celebration.
How to book
Book ahead for weekends, the peak time, especially for larger groups, and check the drinks list and time limit before you go. Many venues also run weekday bottomless sittings that are cheaper and quieter.
Good to know
Eat something beforehand and pace yourself. For a calmer meal see our best brunch guide, and for more food ideas the restaurants section.
