There’s Afternoon Tea… and then there’s Afternoon Tea at sketch in London. Walking into the tea room at sketch is like waking up in a dream you never knew you wanted. First of all, anywhere that dedicates a room strictly to Afternoon Tea is already a win in our book. But sketch’s attention to detail has combined the perfect balance of fantasy, humor, art, and class for an all-around amazing experience.
Sketch knows that most great experiences begin with champagne. A timely champagne connoisseur greets you with your bubbly options, followed by a not so average pour. A tea cart filled with a wide array of options rolls up next. The server is happy to suggest a different tea for each course based on your tastes and their knowledge of enjoyable pairings. Next up, a visit from the “Caviar Man”, sketch’s very own resident caviar expert, recognizable by his distinct pink suit. Caviar and quail egg prime you for the next course. Delicious sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and scones overflow your senses and stomach. But the service would not be complete without beautiful music to your ears. Daily live performances from local string trios really set the mood. There are little surprises everywhere you look, from phrases written on the dishes all the way to their unique restroom!
