The best bottomless brunches in London

Brigadiers screens all your favourite sports alongside your favourite Indian dishes in a super lavish setting, but don’t let the extravagant scenery fool you. Brigadiers encourages some healthy, booze-powered brunching, too. Every Saturday your crew can munch veggie samosas and chaat before the games begin. Then choose from three plates; mixed grill saffron pilau, paneer butter masala with with dal and garlic naan, or Tandoori lobster and shrimp club sandwich (£5 extra) with free-flowing Cobra lager or select cocktails. 

Price: £60 (£35 alcohol-free). 12-5pm for two hours, every Saturday.

When the original, ultra-sleek Standard hotel opened in LA, it was a place for hyped bands to stay and for the city’s scenesters to party at super-exclusive disco nights. It’s no wonder, then, that its King’s Cross outpost feels very, very hip. Its restaurant Double Standard – with its sleazy ’70s aesthetic and dive-bar menu – is a big ol’ part of that. On Sundays, it hosts bottomless brunch, with unlimited fizz for two hours, and the likes of buttermilk chicken waffles or steak and eggs. It’s also got a very nice, sunny terrace if eating breakfast in a space that screams ‘4am afterparty’ feels wrong.

Price: £27.50 for unlimited mimosas and prosecco for two hours. Food priced separately. Sunday 12pm to 4pm.

Toast devotees, shield your eyes – the menu at this Peckham restaurant offers Taiwanese takes on brunch classics with the traditional bready carbs replaced by Mr Bao’s soft ’n’ springy milk-white steamed buns. Come for dandan mushroom toasted bao, spring onion pancake and brunch dumplings with Taiwanese sausage and smoked bacon, served with salted egg yolk, crispy chilli oil and tomato. Whatever you choose, at least one punchier-than-average Bloody Mary is non-negotiable. Food comes individually priced, and you add unrelenting booze for a hour a pop on top.

Price: £24 for one hour of bottomless drinks.

Santo Remedio is a cosy Mexican restaurant with a name that means ‘holy remedy’ – which fits perfectly when you get stuck into the healing brunch menu after a big night out. Start with guac or homemade salsas with totopos to soak up (or sweat out) last night’s alcohol. Then replenish with bottomless margs, sangria or Mexican wines and beers, alongside traditional dishes like red or green chilaquiles, chicken flautas or pork belly tacos. End on a sweet note with a chocolate pot. 

Price: £58 for 90 minutes of free-flowing drinks, two courses and dessert.

Angel's sprawling 411 is a rowdy all-day eating and drinking spot, and Saturdays are when things get serious with their beer pong bottomless brunch. Bottomless beer, prosecco or punch comes alongside a US-style brunch menu such as chicken and waffles or eggs benedict, or even pizza, as well as a guaranteed beer pong table. 

Price: £40 for any main brunch dish, bottomless drinks and beer pong.

The very swanky The Aubrey – which takes its name from the darkly decadent Victorian-era illustrator Aubrey Beardsley – one of the fancier options around. This lavish fine dining Japanese joint does a bountiful brunch every Friday to Sunday, with two hours of free-flowing booze to wash down the likes of okonomiyaki, matcha french toast and Tokyo eggs royale. Chic as hell. 

Price: £50 per person for bottomless cocktails for two hours, £70 for cocktails and sake, and £95 for cocktails, sake and Champagne. Food is priced separately. 

Rise and shine in Shoreditch with a menu of Aussie-leaning brunch treats – from BBQ beef brisket hash and avocado poke bowls to pear and blackberry French toast and smash avo on sourdough. Speaking of smashed, guests can choose from bottomless mimosas for classic brunch vibes or go classy with prosecco a-flowing. Lantana is sympathetic to the teetotallers too, offering coffee and juices on tap. And with its Aussie roots, you know the coffee will be bonzer.

Price: £46 per person with bottomless prosecco, mimosas and coffee with any brunch item. £39 with unlimited juices and coffee. Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 4pm. 90-minute time limit.

Bourne & Hollingsworth does bottomless brunch in its purest form. The venue? A light-drenched conservatory filled with ferns and palms. The menu? Simple breakfast food – granola, pancakes, avo on toast, hash browns – alongside as many bellinis, bloody marys, fizz or spritzes as you can handle. Prices go up depending on what booze you pick. 

Price: £27-£33.

The bottomless deal on rum punch, prosecco or mimosas runs for 90 minutes every Saturday and Sunday. Food is southern-ish, with options like fried chicken and gravy or pork ribs, but there’s also more trad fare; smoked salmon and eggs, blueberry pancakes or avocado toast. The Brixton and Shoreditch branches also offer the same boozy deal. 

Price: £35 for a main and bottomless drinks.

A neighbourhood bar in the commuter conclave that is London Bridge might seem like a tautology, but the 1970s-inspired Nine Lives offers a joyful escape from all that central London chaos. On Saturdays they get stuck into bottomless brunch with Mexican flair. There are free-flowing micheladas, margaritas, Mexican mimosas, house wine, draft beer and sodas to drink, and churritos, guacamole, ceviche, and corn ribs to eat, as well as baja fish, beef barbacoa, calabacitas and chicken tinga tacos, as well as churros for pud.

Price: Food is £35 a head, and bottomless drinks are £30 per person. Every Saturday, from 2-4pm.

Market Place offers brunch-goers a buzzy atmosphere and plenty of choice with street food stalls, pool tables, photo booths and a ‘dog friendly vibe’. From 11am-4pm every day, Market Place in Peckham (and Harrow), offers a 90 minute ‘bottomless bonanza’. This includes £15 worth of food from any of its 10 in-house street food-style vendors. It’s less avo on toast, more pani puri and a pint, with everything from smash burgers to sushi rolls on offer alongside unlimited beer, cider and prosecco.

Price: £35 for unlimited beer, cider and prosecco (for 90 minutes) plus a £15 voucher to spend on food. For £10 extra, the deal includes cocktails too.

This two course bottomless brunch lets you pick whatever you fancy from a savoury menu, followed by a sweet and throws endless fizz into the mix. Choose from fancy bacon rolls, banana bread sandiwches, and the ubiquitous smashed avo on toast. We're here for The Dirty Daisy; tater tots slathered with chipotle sourcream, cheese, chorizo, egg, green tomato and avocado salsa, refried black beans and pink pickled onions.

Price: £49.90 per person, or £40 for the Tea-Total option, which comes with sparking kombucha. 

Soho’s Chotto Matte is known for its Japanese-Peruvian fare (‘Nikkei cuisine’), which you can scoop up at their bottomless brunch every Saturday from 12-4pm. Their ‘Jungle Brunch’ comes complete with a DJ, live entertainment and free-flowing cocktails and prosecco. The sharing menu includes a decent assortment of dishes, including fusion triumphs such as asado de tira (beef short rib with teriyaki jus) and truffle mushroom rice with queso fresco.

Price: £79 for food and free flowing cocktails and prosecco for 90 minutes.

After a heavy night, what do hardcore caners do? They carry on the party somewhere where the sun don’t shine and where the rock music doesn’t spare their tender eardrums. The Flesh & Buns weekend brunch is a no-brainer for postponing and minimising your oncoming hangover, with four courses included, starting with sushi and Korean-fried chicken wings, plus as much hair of the dog as you can stomach (prosecco, red or white wine) to ease the pain (for now). It’s not a traditional brunch menu by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s all tasty ballast.

Price: £55 per person.

Few London restaurants channel big holiday energy like El Pirata. The luxury Mayfair spot has the vibe of a fancy joint on a Spanish city break. Bottomless brunch is more about snacking on very good small plates – patatas bravas, prawn fritters with garlic aioli and pan-fried chicken – than eating and drinking yourself into a stupor. The booze add-on is an hour and a half of non-stop sangria.

Price: £35 per person - minimum two people - for food, add £25 for bottomless sangria for 90 minutes. Saturday 12-3pm.
