The Brunch Club Reviews 

Best bottomless brunch ever!!!! loved the alcohol loved the music

I booked this brunch for 9 of us at the Birmingham Emo Brunch.

I’m not an overly fussy person but the food was inedible and most of us left a lot of the food. The chicken burger was a bit of fried chicken slapped in a soggy bun, not great.

Drinks service was efficient and apart from having to get up and find someone to bring some more prosecco it flowed fairly well.
The staff were lovely and polite.

The main focus of this review is mainly the volume. Doors opened at 11:30am and image music being blasted as loud as possible. We had all just arrived and none of us could hear the person next to us unless we were shouting at the top of our lungs.
We were getting exhausted with trying to talk and my friend asked the DJ politely if he wouldn’t mind turning it down slightly so we could have a conversation. Some of us hadn’t seen each other in months, some had come from up north and also london so it was an opportunity to catch up over a fun brunch but this was impossible with the deafening music.

In the end we chose to move and sit outside where we could talk, we still had to shout as the music was that loud still outside! But at least we could communicate finally.
We went inside to use the toilets and the place by 1pm was empty, people had either left or moved outside. I’m presuming this is because of the music being at an unbearable level.

The music was a great selection of emo and ska/ punk rock, we loved the songs and the drummer was great too.

Just to feedback to The Brunch Club, the idea is great but at 11:30am maybe rethink the level of volume of music, people need to settle in and chat then you can gradually turn it up but no one wanted to stay which was a shame as it’s a great idea. Thank god for the outdoor terrace we could escape to.

The food really needs to be better, at nearly £50 a ticket a soggy burger is a bit of disgrace.

For these reasons i wouldn’t recommend buying tickets again at the brunch club.

Thought I'd leave a review after being surprised by all the negative reviews when I was talking about my brunch with a friend. We went to a One Direction brunch at the Yotel in Edinburgh in February and honestly couldn't fault it, had the best time. Staff were really friendly and helpful, drinks were brought and refilled quickly, DJ was very good and interactive with the guests. He even played No Control at the end by request as some of us were disappointed that it hadn't been played. The food was mediocre but let's be honest we didn't go for the food. We had a certain amount of drinks tokens to exchange for the bottomless drinks, all this was made clear in the description when we booked so there was no surprise that we had to buy extra drinks after those ran out. We had booked a party of 3 but only 2 of us made it and we were given the extra drinks tokens that our 3rd person would have had. The venue was nice, spacious, staff were really nice. The first hour was kind of 'party tunes' and then the rest of the time it was One Direction, I guess my only complaint is that I'd have preferred One Direction from the very start. But that's literally it! We had a great time and hope there's more 1D events in the future.

Attended a 90’s baby bottomless brunch at Shrewsbury Butter market- what a joke!

There was no alcohol in the cocktails- I mean zero. They only did bottomless drink from 12-1pm and I asked for a refill at 12.40 and they said no because they stop serving at 1!

The DJ was fine and the live singers were good, although one looked like she couldn’t be bothered to be there.

The food was fine, I wasn’t expecting much. But for £45 you would expect to come away a little bit tipsy but I left more sober than when I went in- super hydrated from all the fruit juice!

We booked this in November 24 thinking it would be amazing. It was hosted in Margot Belfast, this was an extremely small venue and had lots of view restrictions due to pillars being in the way.

Bottomless brunch was advertised as being from 12.00 until 15.00. It was in fact 12.00 until 13.00 not really a bottomless brunch. Cocktail menu was extremely limited and in the time we were there we got 1 round of drinks due to not enough staff and staff always being elsewhere.

Show was supposed to start at 12.00 and didn't start until 13.30. So 1.5 hours late, the performers came out to a hercules song. 1 dressed in a black body suit and 1 as a belly dancer (think they were supposed to be jasmine but the outfit wasn't even close to hers). They then spent 15/20 mins messing about with Instagram and trying to get the audience to follow them on Instagram.

At this point my group decided to leave as it was already an awful experience. As we left we heard the performers say how they were now taking a 15min break after only performing 1 disney song and arsing around with the audience.

Absolute joke and let down. Contacted to complain were offered 20% discount. Wouldn't book or recommend ever.

Audience was more disney themed than the performers.

Terrible experience Drift Portsmouth
Awful food, tiny portions, nothing loaded about this food. The drinks were average and every round, incorrect, incompetent staff at Drift and when we complained they shirked responsibility, as did The Brunch Club.co.uk when we complained to them, they make contacting anyone very difficult and there is no continuous thread, you have to fill in the form every time to communicate, then they don't bother replying. NOT an experience to be repeated, with this company. AVOID and save yourself the hassle.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
went to one of their “Oktoberfest” events and it was terrible. There was a venue change last minute and certain things that were promised as part of the ticket didn’t even exist. To make matters worse, people were coming into the bar having not even paid for a ticket to attend. I’ve been emailing since the 14th October for a refund and they’re ignoring me. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Do not bother. They will happily take your money for the deposit with communication very quick before securing the booking. Promised we’d get a theme we wanted. But as soon as I had transferred the deposit they went absolutely silent. After sending 7 emails and contacting them on their social media they then advised me the event was cancelled. I then requested my deposit back but complete lack of communication again to which I had to send multiple emails demanding my £300 back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Went to the emo bottomless brunch in Notts. It was £50 a ticket and we couldnt have been more disappointed. 1st the bottomless brunch is for an hour 12-1. We were a table of 8 so £400 spent. By 12.15 we still hadnt had a drink despite asking 3 times. She eventually brought over 1 bottle of prosecco for 8! Then we asked about cocktails and were informed they would bring jugs over shortly. I asked if we ordered and she said no we just bring them over. 15 mins later still no drinks despite us keep asking and the tables arouns us being on their 2nd jugs. She then brought over 3 jugs of the same cocktail. I asked what they were and got a shrug. I asked if we could order the cocktails we actually wanted and was told no. The lads despite beer being advertised in the bottomless brunch struggled to order. The food was really nice but there was no entertainment just a DJ playing from a spotify playlist! All in all £400 for 8 of us to have 1 bottle of prosecco and 3 watered down jugs of cocktails we didnt even get to pick!

False advertisement - took over £100 for themed brunch, cancelled the event and has not returned the money after 7 emails and a complaint they have even acknowledged - told me I had to speak to administrator of another group…rubbish - do not reserve your tickets - there is no event and you won’t get your money back

Went to the Justin Bieber bottomless brunch & it was absolutely shocking. The DJ played Beyoncé, Rhianna, Craig David & more. It was so annoying that I paid for a JUSTIN BIEBER brunch & the DJ played songs that weren’t even by Justin Bieber. Me & a few other girls created a playlist & gave it to the DJ, almost doing his job for him. Was barely bottomless as they didn’t have enough staff to bring the drinks. Cocktails were awful & tasted watered down. The food was absolutely disgusting, would’ve honestly preferred a cheeseburger from McDonald’s. Had to ask staff to bring my food as they forgot about us. Every single cubicle in the girls toilet didn’t lock. Absolutely ridiculous tickets are £45 each.

Went to Disney bottomless brunch and had a really disappointing experience. Bottomless doesn't even start until an hour after arrival, so we had to spend extra money on drinks. Our food arrived late and way after everyone else, we had to ask about it several times and were told by staff they didn't know because it wasn't their role. The bottomless drinks were not as advertised, we only got watered down cocktails and rosé prosecco which was not very pleasant. We were told normal prosecco would have to be purchased separately. There was a lot of people squished onto benches with very little room, and my party was treated as being in the same group as others on my table so we were given drinks to share with others we don't even know. The entertainment however was amazing and I can't really fault them aside from the fact we had to wait a while for the drag queens from our arrival time.
I've been to a lot of bottomless drag brunches and this was by far the poorest service unfortunately, and not worth the money.

Recently went to impossible in Manchester for Justin bieber bottomless brunch, can’t fault it! Atmosphere was amazing, DJ really interacted with the audience, different friend groups mixing and dancing together because the vibes were so good! Drinks were lovely, enjoyed ourselves!

Sent an email to inform me the event we had booked in nottingham had been cancelled and to contact them for refund. Now stone silence! I paid £450 for tickets for an event that THEY cancelled and won’t refund me! Appalling

I wanted to give my honest review of the Brunch Club Event I went too to help others decide on whether to spend their money on it.
I recently went to a 'Justin Bieber' themed brunch in Birmingham The Gosta Green pub. - this was a present for my 30th, but I know the tickets were £45 each.
There was a mix up with our table as we arrived and we were placed on a table which had not been assigned to a waitress/waiter. We did not know this until alot of the other tables were given at least 2 drinks (within the bottomless part of the brunch), and we were still waiting for someone to come take our orders for the first (this is despite us advising several waitresses we were still waiting). This was exactly the same for our food, we had to remind staff we were waiting for food. We were one of the last to receive the food, waiting a good hour after others receiving their food and when ours arrived it was cold. For the inconvenience we were given a free bottle of prosecco which was a positive.

The DJ - There was very little engagement between the DJ and the audience. The DJ did play Justin's hit song but that was it, hardly any throwback songs were played (aka older albums) which is advertised on social media. 40 minutes to the end, the DJ stopped playing Justin Bieber and instead played other club hits so we left.
Overall, we had some fun but I would not pay £45 again as I do not feel it was worth it

Booked an event in York which we were then told was postponed not cancelled. Good choice of words
We asked for a refund but were told as the event was postponed and not cancelled we could book onto a future event and no refund was available.
After reading all the reviews on here we decided not to go ahead as it sounds like a complete disaster.
We eventually got a refund through the bank.
Avoid at all costs!!

Travelled from England to Dublin for this. Feel scammed, was meant to be 1D themed but by that they mean play 3 one direction songs in 2 hours. Was NOTHING like their social media advertises

Drinks served in dirty glasses, had to ask every time we wanted another drink and they were reluctant to serve us (even after 2 glasses in 30 mins at a ‘bottomless’).

Didn’t expect much from the food but was that bad I wouldn’t even give it to a dog. Meat was freezing cold, pancakes described as served with blackberry coulis and chocolate sauce, came cold with no sauce 1 strawberry and 3 blueberries - actually laughable

Not sure if this was the event or the bar but we had a girl with a camera in our face the WHOLE 3 hours without asking- it was really uncomfortable and annoying

Venue and some staff were lovely (young girl with glasses) but overall really terrible

Went to the London emo brunch this weekend…. Was poorly organised, the drinks took a long time to come, the food even longer (when the food finally came it was an average burger with cold chips) staff were walking between tables just randomly handing out bottles of Prosecco or jugs of cocktails, the Prosecco tasted awful, we couldn’t even give it away to other tables, the cocktail jugs were mostly ice so once we had filled the 6 glasses on our table, the jug was empty and then we had to just to wait for whenever another member of staff walked by and gave us another one,
The music was good and the live drummer was excellent, would say the music is so loud you can’t even hear each other talk,
the way they give out the food and drinks needs work, don’t feel I got the value for money as the prosecco tasted so bad we couldn’t drink it, the drinks were served so slowly that we definitely didn’t get as many as we had paid for, overall wouldn’t recommend

Absolute scam of an event. Just attended the emo brunch at impossible Manchester. Good music but too loud you couldn't hear each other. Arrived and no idea how the system worked -and wasn't told beforehand. Each type of drink was handed out all over the place with no organisation and didn't get the option we wanted until half past and was told it was table service only when we tried to collect it. Hardly bottomless when you get table service every half an hour. Got 2 drinks each at a push and a bottle we didn't want.
Burger we pre-ordered was questionable dry and you'd get better at McDonald's. We paid 160 for 4 and did not get our money's worth whatsoever. We left 3 hours early.

The bottomless brunch was advertised with only Prosecco options, yet they ran out of Prosecco almost immediately, I believe they only had around 10 bottles for the whole event, 2 of which were smashed by the bar staff on opening.
We were also informed that it would be table service, but we had to queue at the bar for drinks, there was only 1 bar staff and most people could not be served during the bottomless hour.
Many tables, including ours, were not served food on time, some people did not get served their food at all, despite raising this with the staff multiple times. When the food did arrive for us it was freezing cold.
The condition of the restroom facilities was shocking— they ran out of toilet paper within the first hour, had no hand tissue, no soap, and two out of three toilets in the ladies’ room had no toilet seats.
The event felt disorganized from start to finish. Staff appeared unfamiliar with the event, and poorly briefed on what was going to happen. Basic service expectations weren’t met.
