The Gallery for Dinner

I had been meaning to go to Sketch for a while and was very excited to have finally gone earlier this week. Sketch has a few restaurants and bars but we dined in The Gallery, which is decked out in a beautiful pink interior and is showing David Shringley’s work. It’s a really unique room and I love all the attention to detail, I didn’t get to see much of the other rooms but the toilets were pretty interesting too but I don’t have photos of it so we’ll save it as a surprise should you choose to visit there.

Although I knew that the decor was amazing, I wasn’t too sure what to expect from the French cuisine menu but I loved everything I ate whilst sitting in the lavish pink chair.

Now for me this isn’t a day-to-day restaurant but more of a special occasion, you can dress up and the menu is quite pricey, especially once you counter in alcohol. The starter menu was great, anything from salad, crabmeat and foie gras. I went for the escargots which came beautifully presented, especially if you aren’t one to usually try something like snails as they didn’t come in shells and were fairly well disguised.

Picking a main was quite difficult but after deciding I didn’t want fish or pasta I went for meat more specially the Filet mignon of Duroc farmhouse pig with sage, black pudding and brandy cream, pig ear and chicory salad which sounds so much scarier than it really was. I admit I really do like to try new and usual things but once again it was presented and cooked beautifully, no real sign of pigs ear or black pudding but tasted delicious. I also had creamed spinach which was pretty damn tasty, you have to order it!
