  “An absolutely awesome experience from before the start until the end! Calling the restaurant your call is picked up obscenely quickly and with such a lovely and helpful demeanor. Growing up incredibly near to the area of the restaurant - I had to finally visit and it did not disappoint and I'm definitely likely to return when I'm in the city! Each and every person working there held incredibly high standards and by God knew their stuff. Nothing felt rehearsed or forced when being served - The servers were happy to share opinions and have a brief chat about the food and wine which is always nice to bring them into the experience as a whole. It's been some time since I visited but after visiting a restaurant with the same accolade this evening and feeling compelled to leave a review I had to balance it with this. Pictured is the one savory dish I've not been able to stop talking about and wrap my head around when trying to dupe it - and a dessert that rivalled any dessert I've ever had. My only (non serious) critique is to not tell me you're serving me scraps from bread making process (best bread I've ever had) for sustainability purposes if you don't serve me and my mate the whole entire hoggit 😅 Thank you! I'll be back next year.”

  “Visited Alchemilla for the second time this evening to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was beautifully crafted and seemed to surpass the last. We opted for the seven-course tasting menu and also added the scallop special, which was outstanding. The service was impeccable, attentive without feeling intrusive and each dish was thoughtfully explained by staff. Combined with the restaurant’s warm and cosy atmosphere, it made a very memorable evening. We spent three wonderful hours there and enjoyed every moment. Without a doubt, it’s the best meal I’ve had to date and I already can’t wait to go back ✨”

  “This visit made a few Firsts for me... First time I've spent That Much on a meal... (special occasion)... First time I've had a meal of 12+ courses; First Martini; First time eating Hoggett; First time eating raw prawn - I nearly refused that but it was excellent, combined with green strawberry (pic 1). In fact, I was surprised by flavour combinations many times through this meal. It really was an experience. My fellow dinner's extensive dietary restrictions were carefully accommodated too, with a pre-meal call to check details.”

  “The 7 course meal was absolutely Devine. I loved the mushrooms, and the desserts are incredible. My partner loved the pigeon. The restaurant staff were kind enough to accommodate a different menu for my partner who has seafood intolerance. A little surprise were the selections of cocktails.”

  “Totally awesome place. Delicious food. Attentive and knowledgeable staff that made serving the food almost a performance in itself. A great experience of fine dining that lasted almost 3 hours. Even before the day, we were contacted by the team to check dietary requirements. Only drawback is that parking locally isn’t particularly easy (as spaces are time limited).”

  “We had the most wonderful lunch, finally taking advantage of a Christmas present. The venue is beautiful, a converted coach building with exposed brick, greenery and glass light wells combining to give a calm atmosphere. The staff were lovely, not only in telling us the expected information about the food but also chatting with us on a more personal level. And the food… OMG the food!! We had a three course lunch, but also had some canapés, and some sweet treats with coffee. Every element was sublime, wonderfully balanced and delicious. Lots of flavours I’ve never had before. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back for another special occasion meal, a real treat.”

  “We visited after we were given a very generous wedding present by a friend. Really special place. Not just for the food but for the whole dining experience. I would recommend the wine pairing, the ice wine was our favourite.”

  “I contacted the restaurant in advance to request vegetarian options and alcohol-free dishes. Despite the very short notice, they accommodated my request seamlessly. The atmosphere and ambience were exceptional—perfect for a romantic dinner. They went the extra mile by printing a personalised menu for us and serving each course in the exact order presented, creating a truly immersive and enjoyable three-hour dining experience. The food exceeded all expectations, and the level of service was outstanding—attentive, refined, and genuinely warm. This was a luxurious culinary experience in every sense. They deserve far more than a single Michelin star. An exceptional experience that I will most certainly repeat.”

  “Wow, this is maybe one of the best places I've ever eaten. Treated my brother to a fine dining night out and was not disappointed. From the moment of arrival to leaving feeling full and sleepy it was just perfect. Staff were 10/10 for making you feel welcome and being attentive, but they also left you in peace whilst eating and chatting which is a fine balance to get right. Food was really at the pinnacle of what you could image eating, and the wine pairing was also spot on. Would be lovely to be able to afford eating here on a monthly basis.”

  “This was my husband’s birthday present. It was a 2 hour drive over and was worth every minute! 4.5 hours, 12 courses and 7 wines. Could not fault a single mouthful. Drinks on the terrace to start was a lovely touch. Dan has done an excellent job pairing the wines, I don’t usually like dessert wines but the last two were particularly beautiful. Fantastic atmosphere. Alex was really friendly and chatty and even brought us extra snacks because they were just so good! The mushroom dish was a stunning stand out in a delicious tasting menu. We’ve been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants and this was easily our favourite. Will definitely come again.”
