Hi Guys, Im finally off to Sketch, London for a very glamarous and decadent lunch with my sister in law.
Will be writing a review for my web site so will let you know if it lives up to its reputation and star quality appeal.

Hey guys, The dessert was tooooooooooooooooooo die for. We had 5 dessert canapes each before dessert then 5 small desserts each to be eaten in order suggested by the pastry chef, all layed out on seperate small plates. 1 fruit dessert, 1 chocolate and black currant pave, 1 dessert soup, 1 set bitter sweet confit of fruits and not forgetting 1 thai lime and rose sorbet with marinated pineapple with marshmallow and meringue.
All beautiful and very individual in texture and flavour.
and all for £35, good value here in the big smoke!
They have the most gorgeous tea room/patisserie with small pieces of edible art to enjoy with beautifully scented tea.
A great treat for afternoon tea and the pastries start at £1.75 ish.

More details! More!

As promised my brief conclusion of lunch at Sketch, the most expensive restaurant in the uk? London.
Well it is if you go for the A la carte at £150 plus per head.
But a lunch menu in the Library and lecture room at £35 yes £35 was knicker wettingly fantastic.
As you would expect from such a fine dining restaurant you are greeted, seated and treated with respect. The whole building is just awesome, stylish and drop dead trendy.
Food was some of the best I have had in London, truly food art.
Myself and Anna, my sister inlaw (very Carrie Bradshaw, sex and the city) had £35 lunch, wine at £25 and was gorgeous, glass of champagne and jasmine tea. 3 hours for lunch and a total of £125.00
It really is the most glamarous lunch and a total dream.
Express lunch costs £22 ,I think? including champagne.
Do go its amazing.
