BOX Piccadilly Circus Sing-A-Long Bottomless Brunch Review

The Sing Along Brunch at BOX Piccadilly is less about politely clinking glasses over eggs and more about stepping into a full blown daytime party, complete with a banging sound track. Running every Saturday 3pm – 5pm at BOX in Piccadilly Circus, it offers 2 hours of unlimited drinks and a choice of a brunch plate, but more importantly it’s accompanied by group Karaoke with screens around the room and the ability to choose your own track to stand up and sing to.

Joining a group table, the energy was already flowing when we arrived at about 3.15pm, prosecco flying everywhere and the host getting everyone hyped up on the mic. Our host explained that there’s a QR code on the tables that lets you queue up your chosen song, which then flashes onto the big screens while you’re handed a microphone and the entire room sings along with you.

As the drinks progressed the whole thing turned into a party, with everyone having so much fun and joining in. Standing on chairs, group performances, secret singers having their moment of fame, it honestly was such fun and a great shout for a birthday, hen, or any occasion where you want to get your mates together and truly belly laugh at each other.

It’s gloriously extra and turns the whole room into one big, supportive karaoke crowd.

Food wise, there’s a selection of brunch and lunch options to choose from. I had the vegan burger, while my friend choose the vegan gyros. Both super tasty but to be honest we ordered quiet near the end where food had become an afterthought, so my suggestion would be to get your food choice in early before you forget about it amidst the madness (and prosecco).

We mostly stuck to prosecco, which flowed freely, but there’s a solid cocktail list too. We tried the BOX Iced Tea which was dangerously easy to drink and a classic Aperol Spritz that hit the spot.

Overall, it’s loud, lively, and unapologetically camp, the kind of brunch you book when you’re ready to celebrate something, or simply celebrate the weekend itself.

Times: Every Saturday, 3pm – 5pm

Price: £52 per person

Address: BOX Piccadilly Circus, 21, 23 Shaftesbury Ave, Piccadilly Circus, London W1D 7EF

Oh dumplings, those deliciously soft pillowy parcels concealing their savoury hot surprises. Who doesn’t love dumplings? Many a Chinese menu have slim pickings much to our dismay but New kid on the block Mama Chen’s is here to place the focus on one of our favourite bites.

Founder, Michelle Liu, learnt how to cook dumplings from her grandma Chen whilst growing up and decided it would be a shame not to share her family secret recipe with the world. So during lockdown, Mama Chen’s was born, offering home made dumplings, delivered straight to your door.

The kits contains 12 delicious frozen dumplings, each one hand made by Michelle’s expert hands, frozen immediately and packaged up ready to deliver. You can choose from:

OG Wontons, the original star of the show with traditional prawn and pork filling
Golden Nugget chicken dumplings
Green Panda veggie dumplings
Prawn Siu Mai

For the commitment-phobes who just can’t pick one flavour, order the Full Moon Tasting Set which includes all dumplings for only £17.80 (Pack of 16 – and ready to serve in under 15 minutes).

All kits include cooking instructions, chilli oil, soy sauce, and chopsticks. Don’t forget to add Mama’s homemade dipping sauce, as they say the secret’s in the sauce.
