The Alchemist bar and restaurant will soon be coming to Alderley Edge, with work on the former Grill on the Edge site now well underway.
The concept from the multi-award winning Living Ventures is set to open to the public in November. The bar, renowned for its creative cocktails and dining menus in cities including Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, will be making its first debut into suburbia with its new site on London Road; right in the heart of the village.
The team will be headed up by manager Dave Rotherham who has worked for The Alchemist in both Manchester sites and cut his teeth as bartender when The Living Room on Deansgate was in its pomp. He will lead a management team of four overseeing the two storey site which will have a capacity of 150, including a 70-seat restaurant situated within the venue’s conservatory.
Guests will be greeted by a striking two-storey glass façade making a real statement on the high street. A central island bar on the ground floor will give the bar team the chance to create a bit of theatre when mixing an array of ingredients with unconventional equipment.
The first floor at the Alderley Edge site will be home to a smaller bar area, also available for exclusive hire.
“We are thrilled to be bringing The Alchemist to Alderley Edge,” says Simon Potts, MD of the Alchemist. “Some residents will already be aware of the brand from our Manchester sites and we’ve had a huge amount of enquiry and enthusiasm during development. We believe it will be a welcome addition to the bustling social scene in the village and we can’t wait to immerse ourselves in the local community.”
The launch of The Alchemist will bring 40 new job roles to Alderley Edge and local area. It is currently recruiting for a range of positions in Management, front of house and within the kitchen. Please contact [email protected]
