Moon & Sixpence

The Moon & Sixpence is a pub and restaurant in the village of Hanwell on the outskirts of Banbury, Oxfordshire. Run by chef and proprietor Hylton Bradley, who trained at Banbury Catering College and previously ran Hylton's Restaurant in Banbury for seven years, the kitchen serves a modern English menu with a touch of French cuisine alongside classic bar and grill options, salads and sandwiches. Bradley's cooking has earned two AA Rosettes and he was named Cherwell Chef of the Year in 2003. The pub offers a selection of well-kept real ales from Wells and Young's Brewing Company, plus chilled lagers and ciders, and an extensive wine list of over 40 bin ends from both new world and traditional vineyard producers, with champagne available by the glass. The recently refurbished premises include two dining rooms, a large bar area and a separate bar called the Hanwell Room, an open passe where diners can watch food being freshly prepared, a rear patio and a newly renovated garden. The pub has disabled access, welcomes children and has a large off-road car park. Surrounded by countryside, it is a convenient stopping point for walkers and riders. The venue also caters for private functions, weddings and funerals.
