A world of magic and imagination awaits in this golden-lit bar-restaurant in Grey's Quarter of Eldon Square renowned for cocktails with a difference, such as previous theatrical ones reflecting a dark side of the festive season and The Colour Changing One, a cocktail which is a smoking concoction that changes before the eyes from blue to purple and then to pink. The chain has just launched a new range of 'playful' cocktails including one in a 'trick teapot' of a kind apparently used to poison people centuries back. Called Pick Your Poison, it comes served in a teapot which holds two separate compartments, a design said to have originated in China, so that you can chose which to pour from by clever placement of your fingers.

In Newcastle's city centre, The Alchemist goes all out for their 'Disco Brunch' between 10am-2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The food menu is extensive too, with plenty of vegan or veggie options (hello, halloumi and avocado muffin) and – our must-try – a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, cheese, crispy hash browns and ketchup.

The Alchemist is a contender for the best brunch in Newcastle city centre, with three of their most popular cocktails and any breakfast dish for just £30.

Despite its well-deserved reputation as a particularly cool nightspot, The Alchemist does some pretty spectacular breakfasts, including a selection of pancakes.

The latter is available as a dessert too and comes with its own suggested cocktail pairing.
