This August, is making waves with the launch of its delightfully cheeky Missing Fish Campaign. Known for its bold interiors and even bolder culinary flair, the Berkeley Square hotspot has uncovered an unexpected trend among its guests: the mysterious vanishing of its now-iconic fish-shaped chopstick rests.

Engraved with the playful message “Stolen from Sexy Fish”, these miniature table treasures have quietly made their way into handbags and pockets over the years – with an estimated 558,000 having swum off across all Sexy Fish locations.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the restaurant is inviting guests to right their (stylish) wrongs. Throughout August, anyone who returns one of these slippery souvenirs will be rewarded with a complimentary cocktail from the brand-new X Cocktail Menu – a stunning collection of 20 reimagined classics crafted for the modern drinker.

With its usual flair and a generous splash of fun, Sexy Fish proves once again why it remains a firm favourite on the Mayfair scene.

In crafting ‘Eterna’, the new cocktail menu at Vesper Bar, the bartenders have translated organic symmetry into a spiralling journey of flavour. The menu, inspire by the Golden Ratio, is structured around the Fibonacci sequence - specifically the numbers 3, 5, and 8 - with each number representing a layer of increasing complexity.

At the core of the menu (symbolically and literally), guests will find cocktails featuring just three key ingredients, offering bold, uncluttered profiles that are straightforward yet striking. As you move through the menu, cocktails become increasingly refined and intricate, with five and eventually eight elements contributing to more layered and unexpected combinations ✨
