The Moon and Sixpence is back! And it’s bigger and better than ever before (as it should be, after a year-long, major-investment makeover). Dominating the heart of the new-look Milsom Place complex, the MandS offers plenty of alfresco opportunities, including a rather glamorous upper-level bar with its own terrace. And although it may have doubled in size inside, the ambience that made this modern British/Mediterranean-themed restaurant so popular – candlelight, an intimate feel – is still very much in evidence. It’s fairly expensive (don’t expect much change from £20 for an entry-level bottle of wine) and when The Pig popped in, service was extremely slow. But it’s still early days for this old favourite.
