Alchemy & Apothecary Reviews 

Thanks so much Curt & team for turning my birthday party into something incredibly special! Cocktails were amazing and we had so much fun! Would 100% recommend and can’t wait to book these guys again for future celebrations!

Best cocktails this side of the Tamar!! Highly recommend!

Recently hired Curt and the team for corporate event, and the service from start to finish was faultless. Amazing drinks and every taste was catered for. I can’t recommend A&A highly enough. Thank you for making it such a memorable evening.

The cocktails we enjoyed were both tasty and visually stunning. Kirt and his team excelled in providing beverages that are ideal for any private gathering. We're definitely planning to book them again. Thank you!

Curtis was fantastic. Super responsive, friendly and reasonably priced. The mixology masterclass experience was great and the cocktails tasted so good. Looking forward to booking Alchemy and Apothecary again in the future.

Curtis and Lucy are wonderful! Their cocktails are out of this world, and went down an absolute treat at our wedding.

Alchemy and Apothecary ran a cocktail bar at our wedding with 130 people. In the run up, they were super communicative, taking us through the different options for running the bar, and beyond (e.g. offering welcome drinks). They even sent us samples, which were delicious.

On the day, the team were friendly, professional and really contributed the how special the event was.

I cannot recommend them enough - if in doubt, give them a message and you will be convinced as well. Lovely people.

Thank you both,

Mike and Phoebe xx

The most amazing cocktails which made the party! Guests loved every single drink, which were all made to perfection. Absolutley fantastic service! Curt is an amazing guy, friendly and was always on hand to answer questions leading up to the event. Happy to personalise cocktails, work with last minute changes and went above and beyond in helping on the day. Thanks guys!

Fantastic we just love this team. We had them do a 60th a couple of years ago and have had them at all of our big parties ever since. Your guests don’t just get cocktails they get the theatre that goes with the experience. The consummate professionals. We will continue to book this team.

Attended a hen party with Curtis making the cocktails and it was absolutely fabulous! The cocktails were great, the glasses were lovely all with attention to detail with the last little finishing touches. All of the party said how great he was, he really made the night. Would definitely book again.

Curtis came and made the cocktails for my daughter’s hen party. He was very professional and was kept very busy. The cocktails were delicious Curtis was great would highly recommend.

We had Curtis for my hen party and he was amazing! The cocktails were absolutely delicious! 100% recommend for an event!

I ordered some cocktails for Christmas.
I received a PayPal receipt but no email confirmation. I also thought they would contact me about postage as there were only two options for 1-2 or 3-4 bottles and I ordered more. It didn't look right to me and I checked with them after a few days. I think they could send something as it doesn't really look like a real thing otherwise.
The delivery was fine... 5 days. I liked the jars and the wildflower seed card. But the jars were all supposed to be 250ml and some of them were full or thereabouts whereas others had less than half in them so it wasn't the amount expected and they didn't divide up well. The packaging wasn't very good and the bottom was a bit damp but not particularly so and the jars were quite difficult to open so it seemed more like they had sent them out like that rather than that they had leaked. It said on the jars to use the recommended garnish. There was an envelope with some dehydrated pieces of fruit but it didn't say what went with what. There was also no information about storage or expiry.
The best cocktail by far was the butterfly margarita but there was only a tiny amount of that one. The worst one was the guava mojito. It was kind of sickly and had a lot of boggy mint floating in it.
I'm not sure if I would order again considering the overall experience. It didn't seem entirely worth it. The other reviews are all about events and it could be that they focus on this rather than the online shop.

Curtis of A & A met with us prior to our event, he gave suggestions, taking into account of what we were looking for; suggestions of cocktails, how to set up and allowed us time to consider what cocktails/mocktails we wanted and time to change our minds. Nothing appeared too difficult or complicated for him. On the evening of the party, he arrived in plenty of time to set up and throughout the evening he was not only serving the cocktails, but also wine and beer that we/guests had provided. Curtis blended in with the guests, being approachable and friendly. At the end of the evening Curtis ensured that he had cleared up and left the area tidy. Would definitely recommend and use Curtis again.

We were SO incredibly grateful to have Curtis and his exceptional team for our Wedding yesterday!
First of all Curtis was outstanding in his communication and ideas in the 12 months ahead of the wedding, always responding to us promptly and sending us sample cocktails to try.

SET UP: Curtis brought the most beautiful mobile bar to our venue, which was even more stunning than we were expecting. It looked sleek, sophisticated but very trendy as well with beautiful decorations. His team also set up tables outside for the drinks reception when everyone arrived with incredibly welcoming smiles for all our guests

SERVICE: Outstanding!! Smiles all round, chatting to guests, hugs and so much love for us as Bride and Groom. Curtis and the team were delighted to bring drinks up to guests at the tables during dinner service which made a huge difference to the flow of the night

DRINKS: Absolutely delicious! The most popular drinks all night were the "His" and "Hers" cocktails - and this is testament to the fact that Curtis believed that having a unique set of drinks for the night would create a great atmosphere and he was so right. The "His" and "Hers" cocktails were Curtis's mastermind but specifically after asking us what key ingredients we wanted to be involved and the flavours important to us. This brought such a lift rather than just "Vodka and Coke", "JD and Coke", "Gin and Tonic" etc etc. Whilst of course the team provided these to guests if it was requested, the uniqueness of our cocktails brought a real personal touch to our night.

We also requested a specific local cider that we wanted for our drinks reception... Curtis personally visited the provider of this cider and pre-purchased and handled the supply on our behalf to make it all so much easier for us.

BOTTOM LINE: We were Blown Away by what Alchemy and Apothecary delivered on our Special Day... Personalised, Attentive, Above and Beyond! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Curtis and his team provided cocktails for us at my daughters 21st…they were brilliant and such a hit at the party. The service was excellent and the drinks delicious and really well presented everyone loved them - will definitely book them again!

Curtis already had a booking on the day I requested so couldn’t make it in person, but delivered some pre mixed cocktails, along with garnishes and instructions. He also lent me the cocktail shakers. They were delicious and went down a treat. Would highly recommend!

I hosted a cocktail making afternoon at home for 8 ladies to celebrate my Birthday.
Mark from Alchemy & Apochecary was very professional, arrived in good time to set up and really helped the party flow.
We made 3 delicious cocktails and were not rushed, he cleared up discretly around us and made the whole thing fun. He could read the room, taking his cues from us without overstepping the mark.
We all enjoyed the afternoon and agreed we would definitely recommend to others

Curtis was great from start to finish for our girly cocktail Masterclass was so much fun 🤩

Amazing service, and the best cocktails around town.
Highly recommend Curtis and his team!
We booked them for an event and will be booking again!

Awesome alchemy
These guys were just fantastic - they made personalised cocktails for my husbands birthday party which were not only delicious but looked superb.
Curtis was brilliant with communication and I can’t wait to think of an excuse to use these guys again
