I wont go. And I’m basing my opinion solely upon my hatred of their website.

Yikes to the plastic shards in the mouth! But I do love those toilet pods. I’d love one at home in fact. I don’t think I’ll be visiting though – Sketch has never been on my wishlist.

Charlie – Seriously, don’t bother.
Chris – Yeah apparently, it is to celebrate some sort of anniversary but, whatever.
Melanie – I wish you luck! If you go to the lecture room instead I’d be interested to know how that works out.
Taylor – Indeed it does!
Genuiness – £50 for a main! Wow. I’d rather take my £50 and go to the Ledbury, that is for sure.
Ollie – Frotted and double frotted. I am not a fan.
Catty – No I haven’t but a friend of mine loves it – I must go!
James – Yeah, it was most definitely NOT a fondant potato. Anyone who calls that a fondant potato is an idiot. Funnily enough, I had a fondant at Sketch the first time round with my tartare – weird I know. The fondant was actually good.

So you have to have a bad dining experience in order to get a good one? That’s an odd dining concept – how do you keep up with which one it is?

Some people call those mash potatoes cakes fondant potatoes which is a disservice to the fondants really. The mash potato cakes should really stay on the breakfast plate IMAO.

Plastic shards in your food? that’s completely sue-able!!! To even give them a second chance I think is amazingly humble of you… and I’m glad the second visit was much better. I also didnt like all of Gagnaire’s dishes.

By the way have you ever been to Crazy Bear in Fitzrovia? The loos are WAY cooler than Sketch’s

All the food is so terribly mucked-around-with, isn’t it? Frotted, AA Gill once said in a review. I mean, the ‘Tahiti’, it’s so fiddled and fussed. Decent of them to give you a freebie, but you’re right: the best thing about the place is the loos.

Helen, at those prices, you could have just gone to the Lecture Room & Library – although beware some dishes are even more expensive (£45 for starter, £50 for mains etc.)

Yikes!

Looks like something out of a Stanley Kubrick movie.

But very innovative.

Nice post!

It’s been on my list to do that voucher thing too. I figure £50 off is worth a try despite all the negative things I’ve heard in the past. Thanks for letting us know what we should avoid on the menu, though
