"Alchemilla occupies the red-brick vaulted arches of a Victorian carriage house, yet despite its rustic first impression, it’s a modern place. A living wall and roof garden set the scene for Head Chef Alex Bond's inspired, exciting cooking that utilises sustainably sourced ingredients. As well as injecting plenty of his own personality into the dishes, he has an innate skill for bringing together sweet, sour, salty and citrus elements in wonderful harmony; his aged hogget with roasted lemon, aubergine and black olive is a prime example. The esoteric wine list has a bias towards natural wines." - Michelin Inspector

"A Nottingham restaurant whose chef, Alex Bond, audibly exclaimed in shock and delight on receiving a star, delivering one of the ceremony’s most human and unscripted reactions." - George Reynolds

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.

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.

My friend and I visited Alchemilla today for a three course lunch accompanied by a glass of wine. The restaurant certainly had character, being set in a former Victorian coach house (a carriage or coaching house) that had sat unused for around 100–150 years before being renovated into this restaurant.The atmosphere was pleasant, though it lacked a real “wow” factor. The meal was well presented, and the waiting staff took time to explain the ingredients of each dish, although this delivery came across as somewhat robotic rather than engaging. The menu consisted of small plates, which were ample overall, but some dishes contained too many flavours, making them overpowering rather than balanced. We enjoyed the experience and found it a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon. However, we didn’t feel it offered good value for money and, unfortunately, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. While it’s definitely worth a visit, it’s not somewhere we would choose to return to again. 12% gratuity is a little steep too.

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.

A Birthday Dinner to Remember! Had the best birthday dinner ever at Michelin-starred Alchemilla! If you’re dining here, definitely go for the wine pairings—they truly elevate the experience. Each wine was carefully selected to complement every course, and the moody atmosphere with gorgeous lighting made it even more special. The service was fantastic, and the food? Absolutely incredible. My partner said the duck was the best he’s ever had, and I was obsessed with the desserts and their perfectly matched wines. They truly lived up to their Michelin star! We’ll definitely be back—can’t wait for the next visit!

We were here to celebrate a birthday and our anniversary. The 7 courses are really nice. All courses came in very rich flavour, which I could imagine not always the preference for everyone. But we really enjoyed. The only suggestion to the dishes is on the last course of truffle tart - the tart base was too far to be cut but knife or fork. It would be easier to handle if it goes a bit softer.
