Mark Hix: 'I've lost my restaurant empire. So I’m starting again with a food truck'
William Sitwell why he is making a fresh start selling fish on the A35. Photography by Emli BendixenFive months ago, Mark Hix MBE, seasoned restaurateur, chef and all-round food-industry legend, was at the helm of five restaurants employing some 130 people. He is a man whose name has been attached to some of London’s most iconic restaurants, from The Ivy to Le Caprice, and establishments from extravagant Mayfair to trendy Shoreditch.Today, all tousled hair, unshaven face and eager grin, he’s standing on the A35 behind his new venture: a food truck, just a few miles from Bridport where Hix grew up, and close to Lyme Regis where he ran the much-loved Hix Oyster & Fish House.
