Strong start at Alchemist HQ! #retailisdetail

Latest step in the sustainability journey’s a big one thealchemist.uk.com/sustainability/

Long time coming… Great to see the wheels turning again - we got some cool features and a couple of collaborations going into the site - exciting times!

@charliegilkes @MrFoggsGB Great to see the fabled machine in action! Thanks for hospitality last night mate and good to catch up

Good to be back enjoying negronis from our bespoke mechanical mixologist in @MrFoggsGB

@FleetStreetComm @apavementaway @tomaikens Excellent lunch and brilliantly delivered event for a fantastic cause - thanks for the kind invite!

Delighted to attend the Cook And Dine Event today with @apavementaway x @tomaikens. Showcasing that no matter your background, you can be part of a team in a great industry. #Onlyapavementaway #Cookanddine #Hospitality #Charity

@Jack_W_jolly @TheAlchemistUK Spec book? It’s 2021 mate! 😆

@80pottsy @TheAlchemistUK This in the venue menu or spec book?

New Menu day @TheAlchemistUK London and along with all the usual smoke and mirrors 🍹🎭 there’s a chance to talk about some different changes #carbonneutral

@ThomHetheringto @CornwellDaniel It’s been all our own work here Thom - 25% of our estate now, couple more in the works for 2022 as well, exciting!

@CornwellDaniel Pretty well for a time, but few restaurant brands sustain for decades, so most are now gone (Est x3 etc). Some sites are still in the hands of Northern operators thought, they've just switched brands. I think Blackhouse to Alchemist might be an example, off the top of my head.

I know it's small in terms of London dining but it's interesting to see Northern operators like @Mowglistfood, @wearerudyspizza and now @TattuRestaurant opening in the capital, joining @TheAlchemistUK et al. Not sure when this last happened at this scale. The LV/IRC heyday maybe?

@lucynooneblake @WoodSt_Mission @David8Blake Best of luck team Blake! Great cause

Please read this. An incredible man and an incredible charity ❤️ @WoodSt_Mission @David8Blake

Opened the books today, with suppliers, ambassadors & site teams joining us for one of the most special & secretive days in our year. We’re working more collaboratively, with our people and our friends in the trade to deliver an experience fit for the 2020s #decades

theguardian.com/politics/2021/… number 1 issue in the country is knock on implications of T&T; trains, tube lines, restaurants, airports & shops all shuttered by the challenge… how do they not read the room?! #neverinhistoryhavesomanybeensorankledbysofew #churchill #sortof

Truly unique 🥸

Culture Shock week at work - 5 days of focus on the world around us, looking after community and self with a series of events across the business. Here we are putting the well in Wednesday in the base #namaste

Great thread here about the sheer range of opportunity that careers in hospitality can provide - lots of people doing good things to raise the profile of working in this sector atm - this is a key part of it for me & so valuable to have operational empathy throughout the business
