Three very different London venues where the food matches the bottomless drinks for weekend brunch

London’s bottomless brunch scene has long been a fixture of the weekend, but its culinary breadth is often overlooked in favour of the drinks that define the format. As the city settles into its long, unhurried summer days, we’ve turned our attention to venues that treat the food with as much consideration as the free-flowing tipples. The three options below reflect the diversity that makes eating out in London worthwhile, spanning Caribbean, European café and Danish-Japanese traditions across Camden, Shoreditch and Victoria.

Each has been chosen for a distinct approach: Rum Kitchen leans into island flavours and a party atmosphere, The Brush reimagines continental brunch classics, and Sticks ‘n’ Sushi pairs its signature sushi with an extended sitting. Prices range from £35 to £70 per person, and formats vary from 90-minute slots to leisurely afternoon bookings. What follows is a straightforward guide for those weighing up where to spend a Saturday.

Rum Kitchen, Camden

Caribbean flavours meet a lively soundtrack at Rum Kitchen’s Saturday brunch in Camden. For £35 per person, guests receive two courses of island-inspired cooking alongside 90 minutes of bottomless drinks, with rum punch, house lager and prosecco on offer. The atmosphere leans towards the energetic: live DJs run through a mix of RnB, Dancehall, UK Garage and familiar classics, making this a session aimed as much at dancing and socialising as at eating. Brunch runs every Saturday from 1 to 3pm

The Brush, Art’otel Hoxton, Shoreditch

The Brush has introduced a weekend brunch menu drawing on European café traditions through modern versions of familiar dishes. Diners can pick from four French toast variations, each with different flavours and finishes. The menu also features a range of Cake in Pan options, described as loaded pancakes with both sweet and savoury toppings, alongside seasonal specials. Bottomless cocktail pitchers are also offered to accompany the food. Brunch runs every Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, with a main course and an hour of bottomless drinks priced at £35.

Sticks’n’Sushi, Shoreditch and Victoria

Sticks ‘n’ Sushi runs an all-you-can-sip brunch at its Shoreditch and Victoria branches, showcasing the chain’s Danish-Japanese cooking. The menu spans beef tataki, tuna tartare, maki rolls and grilled sticks, finishing with a Mango and Coconut Rice Pudding. Diners also get 90 minutes of free-flowing drinks, including an English Spritz, Mio Sparkling Junmai and Asahi. The brunch runs every Saturday from noon till 5 and costs £70 per person for both food and bottomless drinks.
