sketch gallery

if you're like me and love the occasional wining dinning experience, thensketchis your place. it is a place where you can feel like alice for the day, because who doesn't want to be alice in wonderland hey? the part of being traditional is wheresketchstands out from the crowd.sketchuses the term traditional, twisted it and presents you with a handful of quirkiness and bit of funk. this quirky restaurant pulls out all the stops and surprises you in every bite and every mouthful of sweet and savour goodness.  we were here to celebrate my sister in-law's 29th birtthday.   happy birthday tina!  what did we order  like all afternoon tea experiences, there are a few options to choose from. we had the option of the original afternoon tea and the champaign afternoon tea . we all opte

what is it?:  the much instagrammed perfectly pink dining room in the multi-venuesketchtownhouse, with food as imaginative as its decor. my picks:  duck breast (£38.00), tchouki (£11.00). can i take my vegan friend?:  yes – the menu clearly indicates the vegan options, although there aren’t many (2 starters and 2 mains – no desserts!). it’s worth noting that we foundsketchgallery pretty inflexible in altering dishes. nonetheless, i guarantee they’ll enjoy the experience.

sketch is a unique london restaurant offering a diverse selection of bars and dining rooms. i first visitedsketchabout 10 years ago and enjoyed the tasting menu at the lecture room. more recently, my boyfriend surprised me with afternoon tea at sketch’s famous gallery, of which i’d heard many great things.

it had been two years or so since i visitedsketchand once again it was completely different. this time with dusty pink interior, i got the feeling like i was stuck in the 1960’s- all i needed now was big hair and a classic pin-up dress to match.
opening the menu, i was startled to see paper cutlery pop up, which was pretty cool! as a consumer, i felt like i was gaining an experience rather than just having dinner, i like that it has a museum feel rather that a restaurant.
to begin, i had thinly sliced tuna with avocado, which was absolutely divine! by now, you should know that i am in love with sashimi! this was accompanied by a glass of white wine- pinot to be precise, although i did move onto cocktails in the latter, which is always a bad idea. (bouji tip: never mix cocktails and fish based dishes!) british designer david shirley designed the plates and his artwork can be seen throughout the restaurant- classic, monochrome, but childlike which is a great conversation starter.
for dessert, i chose malabar, which has to be the best dessert that i have tried in a long while. i will definitely be back solely to have dessert and cocktails as this was just what my taste buds required; lemon foam, bubble gum ice-cream, panna cotta, orange blossom and strawberry marshmallows. i felt like a little child again 😉
oh and you must visit the toilets, which was the highlight of my night! although that sounds rather weird, which it was, but the toilets are designed into alien egg spaceship capsules. once inside, something strange happens, you can hear the sound of birds tweeting as you pee. how thoughtful of sketch!
i never noticed at the beginning but there is actually hopscotch on the floor at the entrance of sketch. i don’t know what possessed me but i actually attempted to hopscotch on the way out! live a little. carpe diem!

in celebration of the festive season,sketchhas partnered with artist chris levine to create silent light – a laser and sound installation in its gallery. i paid a morning visit tosketchfor the launch and was subdued, mesmerized and delighted by the work. a low “ommmmm” emitted throughout the rather glamorous digs of sketch’s (david shrigley art bedecked) gallery walls with laser beams (of mostly violet hue) dancing overhead with diffuse light throughout the room: it’s an unusually placid tone especially for a buzzy mayfair haunt like sketch.

for my best friend’s birthday last year something special had to be done. i had arranged an afternoon tea atsketchduring the short timeframe she was going to be in london, otherwise i rarely get to see her.sketchis located right off regent street and when you enter its truly like stepping into another world. the first thing you notice is the interior design. on your way to the famous pink dining area, you’ll pass a bar on your left which looks like something out of alice in wonderland.

on my first day in london, i stopped bysketchin mayfair. described as quirky, 18th-century townhouse tea rooms that bring together food, art & music, atsketchyou can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea in one of their gorgeously decorated rooms such as the gallery, parlour or lecture room & library.

travelling all the way from australia to london to visit this well spoken about restaurant, only to be rejected at the door. called before we left the hotel around 10pm to make sure it was open and the receptionist had said we would be able to walk in as they closed at 2am. upon arrival at 12pm the doorman said he was shutting the doors. definitely not good enough on the staffs behalf.
on my second visit i had a coffee in the lounge, left of the parlour and received a cold coffee that had been sitting idle for too long.
apart from the interior, everything else aboutsketchwas disappointing and i won't be back.

absolutely amazing 😍
if you are looking for an alice in wonderland experience with fine french fusion dining then look no further thensketch❤️️. best afternoon tea in london.... everything was exceptional right from service to decor to tea and food selection.
sketch is a magical place with ever changing rooms, yummy beautiful food, pink fairytale furniture n beautiful ambience and freaking awesome toilets!!
service - the service at tea was superb, everyone who works here is incredibly nice and helpful. they made sure we had plenty of food and warm tea.
afternoon tea-
it was £45 per person with unlimited tea and food. tea selection was huge and we were given 2 hour time slot to enjoy all the teas and tiny bites. soon a 3-tired server was brought to our table with finger sandwiches, pastries, tiny cheese cake shooters and malabar marshmallows. later we were brought scones with clotted cream and jams and finally two pieces of cake. i specially loved their savory sandwiches and scones my favorite being grilled cheese, smoked salmon and coronation chicken sandwich.

toilets, must visit!!! awesome individual egg shaped toilets with soothing birds chirps to sing you to poops. the colorful stained glass ceiling added to the magic.
value for money 3.5/5- this place is expensive but considering such high end place in london serving unlimited stuff with excellent service is worth the amount paid!!

it was an out of the world experience and we left feeling very stuffed and content. lovely place to spent time with your loved ones for a lovely memory ❤️️

it has taken me 20 months of living in london to make it to sketch. to be honest, that is probably 20 months too long. possibly the most famous dining institution in london,sketchis simply not to be missed. the interior, food, service and general atmosphere is next level. entering the foyer felt like i'd fallen down alice's rabbit hole; quirky fixtures, bold artwork and a hopscotch greeted me.

kesinlikle inanilmaz bir ambiyansa sahip olansketchicinde 3 farkli salona sahip biz afternoon tea icin gallery kismina reservasyon yapmistik. fiyat 40£ civari afternoon tea icin pahalli ama ortam,ambiyans, cay menusundeki lezzetler harika! londra'daki en etkileyici ambiyanslardan birine sahip demek yanlis olmaz. mekanin her salonu ayri guzel ve bir de tuvaletlerinde sizi bir surpriz bekliyor, tuvalete ugramadan cikmayin :)

there are so many choices when it comes to an afternoon tea session in london. there are so many varieties and it might be quite overwhelming to find the right place. well, you definitely cant go wrong with sketch.

the décor is stunning, but you are very closely seated to the other guests, which we didn't mind. the service was outstanding, there are so many people taking care of you - you will definitely not be forgotten.

we opted for the champagne afternoon tea. they will always refill the items of your choice, which is great if you really have a favourite and need to have it again. the sandwiches as well as pastries are great - and definitely something you wouldn't find anywhere else.

they have a great selection of teas as well. atsketchyou can combine your love for food and art at ones. its a quirky place and always worth a visit.

one of the reasons why i don't really eat egg is mainly because of a recurring nightmare i had in high school. i dreamt i was abducted by unearthly creatures and was forced to eat a roomful of hardboiled ostrich eggs. i would get punished if i didn't finish the lot. #truestory. so essentially, the ubiquitously snapped toilet atsketchis my idea of a nightmare.

when a told me we were up for an 8th year friendship anniversary dinner, i knewsketchgallery was the way to go. a is one of my bestest friends in the world whom i met through my previous job. she's a girly girl who likes all things pink, i'm a not-so-girly girl who likes opulent eccentricities - it was just the perfect setting.

sketch is a centre of food, art and music conceived by michelin-star chef pierre gagnaire and mourad mazouz (the dude behind morroccan restaurant momo on hedden st). the building is split into a michelin-starred fine dining restaurant (the lecture room & library), a rather more casual downstairs area (gallery), a tearoom (the parlour) and a cocktail bar (the glad). there's also a cool dj room/bar called the east bar which is great for pre-dindin drinks.
