Venue Overview

At The Alchemist, we believe that every experience should be totally life enhancing.

Whether it’s your first sip of one of our compelling cocktails or a morsel from our mouthwatering menu. That’s why we chose to set up home in Oxford, one of the world’s most celebrated seats of learning. Here, amongst the historic dreaming spires, you’ll find us ensconced in the rather more contemporary Westgate Centre. A location described as a meeting between bold, daring architecture and innovative design and technology. Where better to dispense our bewitching blend of molecular mixology, innovative dining and a dash of our trademark theatrical presentation? So, next time you find yourself exploring the streets of the historic city or punting along the River Cherwell, why not set your course for The Alchemist cocktail bar and restaurant in Oxford? Our crew is ready to welcome you aboard.

At Westgate, our selection of exquisite cocktails and food are best enjoyed in the glorious sun and warm summer nights on our beautiful outdoor terrace. Book today for our theatre-served experience

As Foodinate's first national restaurant partner, The Alchemist has taken our fight against local food poverty to deprived communities across the nation. You can now head to ANY of The Alchemist venues and enjoy either the Vegetable Gyoza or the Braised Beef Ragu knowing that a hot, nourishing meal will be provided for a person in need in the exact same community as a result - at no extra cost to you! All in the power of choice...

Simon Potts, Managing Director of The Alchemist, said of the new partnership: "We love the work Foodinate do. We're the first national restaurant brand to partner with the cause and we're immensely proud to work alongside such a fantastic charitable organisation. It also allows our customers to be a part of the initiative and we look forward to seeing the difference we can together make to our local communities."
