Visited here tonight for our 34th wedding anniversary. Staff and service is give 6/5. Really friendly and knowledgeable about food and drinks. Food was amazing, only down side was the steak was a bit tough and chewy but not enough to complain. Maybe we should have asked for it cooked more. I'd really recommend the sharing starter to anyone. Also got a nice hip flask with my drink to keep.
Start the night of with nibbles of seaweed crisps and honey popcorn. Trying seaweed crisps for the first time they were nice and popcorn is normal. Next was starters of pork bon bons and a bed of hot apple sauce and chicken parcels. Both were very nice and just the right size for a starters. Mains of steak with mushroom. Steak was a bit small in size for the price of the meal, but the flavours were really good so that helped and came out cooked just right the first time. Last was puddings of browni and churros with chocolate sauce really nice. Meal came with 2 drinks each aswel, which was a glass of champagne and 2 oyster cocktails. Overall, really great night and food was nice overall, but slightly overpriced service was great. Stayed for more cocktails in the bar area where service was great and music was good.
The food is great, offering a diverse menu that accommodates various dietary restrictions. Prices are reasonable, striking a good balance. It has a diverse menu that allows for different dietary restrictions but you can call ahead if you have any problems.
The atmosphere leans towards a clubby vibe, with energetic music setting the tone. It’s great for drinks with friends, but keep in mind that the loud music might make conversations a bit challenging. If you’re looking for a lively spot to socialize, The Alchemist fits the bill.
Went for Brunch at £30pp food was reasonably good but with 3 cocktails included the food is essentially a freebie. Stayed for extra drinks it was so good even although there were a few items on the menu we ordered and they didn't have in stock, was overall one of the best drinking experiences I've had in my life, definitely more fun than sitting in a noisy bar and 100% will be back again.
The last stop on our Girl’s Night Out out itinerary and what an experience.
The staff were fantastic and the facilities were well kept, all of the venue was on the ground floor which could be accessed from the street and within Eldon Square.
We booked in advance to ensure we had a table. Food is available from snacks and light bites to full meals, all with an Alchemist twist.
The cocktails were stunning, and I'm now the proud owner of an Alchemist hip flask. It was like an old school chemistry lesson, with a hit. The atmosphere was superb. It was a perfect end to a fantastic night.
