There are only a few places in my life that has completely taken me by surprise, and Alchemilla is one of the them. From the warm and welcoming staff, the amazing menu, to the wines, I can't thank them enough for putting together a memory that my husband and I will have for years. If you can afford it, do it. The restaurant is clean and the service is above and beyond, each willing to tell history and stories. Even asked the staff to sign my copy of the menu. Absolutely an amazing experience. Hopefully one day we can return!

Third time here and it is easily one of the best restaurants in the whole midlands. Alex is a genius in the kitchen, with inspiration from Japanese flavours and Uber modern cooking techniques and beautiful plates, the whole experience is worthy of the star, but beyond that, it’s a food experience that if it was in London, it would be easily £250 per head. So at £90 for 5 courses (which is easily 11-12 servings) I actually think it’s also fantastic value for some of the best food in the country.
This place doesn't need a fat secondary school cookery teacher to tell it how good it is, but regardless I'm doing it anyway.
Booked in for the eight course taster with matching wine EVERYTHING was tremendous. The sourdough from an 11 year old starter, the three unexpected starting canapés, that awesome smoked scallop soup and then the advertised dishes. The scallop with the English sparkling wine was superb. The Armenian red with the pigeon was near perfection.
Loved the move away from wine at the end as desserts came with a sake, then a Madeira. Bloody incredible.
Service was top notch, with a sommelier that my dining partner fell in love with. Spectacular...
Sensational menu! The staff was lovely and very knowledgeable about each dish and wine. The whole experience took about 3.5 hours. Alex is a phenomenal chef!

One of Nottingham's finest restaurants.
There's a reason why this restaurant has a Michelin star.
They have a seasonal changing menu.
All served in a beautiful Victorian carriage house with red brick vaulted arches.
We had their 5 course menu £95.
Now, available every service.
Some restaurants would class it as 11 courses with all the snacks and bread.
We're not going to list what we had.
Just let the pics do the talking.
We love Alex Bond, and his team are amazing.
The food and service were spot on as usual.

It was a fantastic meal in wonderful surroundings. Each of the 10 courses of the taster menu came with a different and unique flavour with its own focus on what the star of that dish was. The service was great, striking the balance perfectly between professionalism and warmth whilst still not being afraid to give a little of their own personalities. Our visit was all that we hoped it would be. We had a fantastic few hours here and couldn't recommend Alchemilla enough.
Thank you to all who made our night one to remember.
A magical journey with food.
Take you to many places in few hours
Surprised by the talented chefs.
Respect to the expertise of our story telling service from Thomas
We celebrated our 2nd work anniversary
Walking in this beautiful place second time
Welcomed by Michelle and team
We chosen 7 courses （see photos )
We enjoyed a 7 course taster menu with wine pairings. One word would be spectacular. An intimate environment, attentive service and the food was interesting and perfectly executed. It challenges your pallet in a positive way.
As said earlier, spectacular.
Started very strong. Incredible food. But then slowly the items became less punchy. Tried too hard and lacked what the formers held. But the first few dishes, including the venison were phenomenal. Didn’t like the seaweed dishes overly. The lobster was incredible. Will edit this review shortly.
Amazing setting. Great staff. Amazing host.
Waiting was ever slightly slow.
Great alcohol menu.
Ten course is a must. I would recommend wine pairing but would probably be too much for ten courses.
Overall very expensive for a one star. Almost the same price as a london 2 or 3. Wouldn’t compare exactly to a one star further north.
This is simply one of the best restaurants around - the food is inventive and sublime, really well judged as is the wine flight. Unassuming setting, it is somewhere to come back to frequently. There were no weak dishes and the invention and surprise carried on right to the end. Highly recommended
