The first thing anyone will tell you about visiting Sketch is that it's an experience. From the quirky hopscotch drawn across the floor as you walk in, to the famous egg-shaped pod loos, it's a little like falling through the looking glass to find a fantasy land. So, if you're in search of a private dining room to host a celebration or special supper, there isn't anywhere quite like Sketch.
Sketch is split across three floors and divided up into four restaurants. While any of them would make a fine backdrop for a party, only one is for exclusive use: welcome to The Millicent Fawcett Room, as part of The Lecture Room & Library. Ascend the stairs at reception and you'll find this small, but lavishly decorated space, which is named after the iconic 19th-century politician, writer and leading suffragette.
The space only has room for eight people, all of whom are hosted on plush, velvet armchairs and gathered around a central dining table. A huge period window brings a little natural light, balancing the rich, red-hued interior design. Between the raspberry-striped walls, graphic-printed carpet and ombre seating, the space is a joyous riot of colour and pattern.
The Millicent Fawcett Room only accepts exclusive bookings between Wednesday to Saturday for dinner, and Friday to Saturday for lunch. As part of the three Michelin-starred Lecture Room & Library, guests are treated to the same award-winning menu.
At lunch time, enjoy the a la carte three course menu which includes dishes such as creedy duck marinated in cumin and savory, as well as Carlingford oyster and blue fin tuna tartare. In the evening, while a la carte options are also available, guests are welcomed to try the tasting menu which spans eight courses. Here, you might enjoy the likes of smoked salmon from the Faroe Islands and poached native lobster.
