Sketch Gallery Review - Afternoon Tea

My Sketch Afternoon Tea Experience

Our afternoon tea at Sketch took place in the gallery room at Sketch. The gallery at Sketch is a girly, glamourous room, with soft, velvety sofas and chairs. Glimmering rose gold accents and an amazing zig zag tiled floor.

A friendly hostess told us

Afternoon Tea At The Savoy

It was the usual with J. He kind of puffed at the idea of afternoon tea. His outlook was a bit negative, but I was confident. I remembered how much we both enjoyed our first afternoon tea experience, and knew he would be in his element once again when we had settled in to the Savoy.

Our savoy afternoon tea experience took place on a weekday. We were

Selfridges Food Hall Review

On my trip to selfridges food hall in London I came face to face with quite a few treats that have been on my edible bucket list.

Melba At The Savoy Review With Photos Of My Purchases

Not satisfied with yesterday's sweet treats I decided to check out Melba At The Savoy. I arrived at Melba just after 11am. A bit later than I'd initially planned. After going toe to toe with dull wet weather outside I was met with a frosty reception inside. Shelves were only just being stocked and the service I received was poor. One server looked over at me and it seemed she had dropped her smile on the floor!

Melba is small with three stools near a window - suitable for a quick stop. Melba At The Savoy is sleek and typically Parisian in style, with lots of black.

I scoped four eclairs at £2.95 each. A mango flavour eclair, salted caramel eclair, meringue eclair, and dark chocolate eclair with coconut. I had to literally ask both servers for information on the items and I received rushed through responses. I could say more about the service - or lack of, but I'll leave it at that. After all, things began to look up

Paul's Patisserie Review With Photos Of My Purchases

One lazy Sunday I found myself at Paul's Patisserie after much procrastinating.

I visited the South East London branch of Paul's Patisserie where I received good service - worth a mention because good service always makes for a more enjoyable experience. I'm pretty sure you'll agree! Paul's Patisserie was clean, with indoor and outdoor seating.

Paul's Patisserie looks old school. As if pulled from 1889 - The year in which it was originally founded. There were some brownie samples on the counter, which I didn't try but my son enjoyed his, however he tends to be quite easy to please!

Based off of this visit, I find Paul's patisserie pretty basic if I'm honest. Nothing really eye catching on display. They sell fresh bread, simple savoury options like cheese toasties and a few sweet treats. I only ended up purchasing a giant vanilla macaron and a coffee cream eclair.

If you're on instagram you've probably seen this beautiful looking gold eclair floating around and wondered to yourself if it's even real! Perhaps it's just a unique ornament - Or some kind of new age jewellery. It almost seems rude to eat such a well put together choux pastry! Well I ate one anyway... It's definitely not jewellery.
