The Alchemist Spinningfields – manchester

I love this place. The staff are amazing. So polite and engaging without being over the top. Even with the affect of Covid they are cooler than ever. The staff, ambience, menu (ok, let's forget the seed oil mayo tho' 😳) is really great 🤩. Chicken wings are top notch. It's a pleasant place, of course, apart from when the surrounding village folk attack Manchester city and deansgate in mobs dressed as clowns on Friday and Saturday nights.

Had plenty of prahva and chicken in a basket with Frank's chili sauce. It was an awesome afternoon. I will return

Visited during difficult circumstances, so had to queue to get in (maybe a canopy would've been a good idea) service was not great, had to get members of staff attention to order and others were experiencing the same problem. I'm sure this was due to staff shortages and difficult circumstances otherwise drinks and atmosphere were good.

Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. So definately recommended in normal times. However during Covid19, the restrictions were poor. We were initially seated at a table with another couple, which wasnt at all what i expected. And it was fully booked, it was hard to see an empty table. No windows were open and no staff were wearing masks. So what I'm saying is that if you are cautious about social distancing and ventilation, maybe dont go for now.

Love this place. Even with the current restrictions and limited numbers of people there was still a great atmosphere. The bar staff came over to your table to finish off the cocktails which was a nice touch and our waiter was really attentive without being in your face. All the food was amazing, especially the tempura prawn lollipops and the pork bonbons. You could see the staff constantly cleaning surfaces and it felt very safe and well organised, highly recommended and they're in the eat out scheme so even better if you can go Mon to Wed.

Absolutely love The Alchemist! We have a great time every time we go. The food and the drinks are to die for. The food is fresh & tasty and the drinks are unique and really really good. The staff is very friendly and professional, they always make sure we're satisfied with the food and go above and beyond to makes us feel comfortable. A big shoutout to Daniella and her team, their professionalism is gold!! Highly recommended!!

A fun evening was had. The only issue was the machine that created dry ice (i think) wasn't working plus the right glass wasn't used as per menu. The whole part of the atmosphere is the unique form of delivering drinks. A lot of money too.

Really great place. Prompt service and delicious food and cocktails. They also did a little birthday shot with a candle on top which made my girlfriend’s night, thank you.

Great bar. Staff are nice. Great selection of cocktails. It's sometimes tough to find a place to stand or sit though

Enjoyed lunch. Great service. Always a good vibe. Would be nice if they had a cocktail of the day or Happy Hour 😊 😉
