The excitement in town is palpable on Christmas Eve.

And crowds of shoppers aside, it’s easily one of the best days of the year for ambience, music, and bumping into the people you haven’t met all year for the obligatory “are you all set for Christmas?” quiz on the street.

But veterans of city living will know that nothing makes the season more cheerful than a well-made tipple and a bite before embracing the festive street atmosphere- if you can find a table, that is.

For the day that’s in it, Sketch is hosting the perfect Grinch-themed Afternoon Tea and Cocktails for all those looking to grab a boozy lunch on December 24th.

“f you’re looking for the perfect way to spend Christmas Eve, we have just the thing!” said the award-winning bar crew on Instagram.

“Our After’WHO’on Tea includes Who-puddings of mojito gateau, pistachio and raspberry Who-battenberg, Who-sandwiches of Glazed Ham, Mustard Mayo and Pickle. Cranberry & Goats Cheese and Who-treats of Cranberry & White Chocolate Choux Bun, and so much more.”

Who could resist?

What’s more, everyone gets a Christmas-themed cocktail (you can make it non-alcoholic if you’re driving).
