Square Meal Review of Hix Oyster & Chop House ?

With five restaurants currently under his belt, crusading foodie patriot Mark Hix is still keen to keep his original Oyster & Chop House in good shape. This wood-floored, tiled-walled Smithfield favourite is a happening sort of place, the hub of a live-wire scene but also the purveyor of some robust regional grub from Britain's farms, hedgerows and native waters. Begin with a plate of Duchy native oysters, Hix's own-cured salmon or St George's mushrooms on toast with ramsons, before sampling something meaty on the bone – perhaps a bacon chop with Herefordshire snails and alexanders or a porterhouse steak for two. The food is decent enough, though some reckon you're paying high prices simply for the ‘buzz'. Interesting tipples abound at the trendy marble-topped bar, including Hix house cocktails and outstanding ‘own label' beers.

    Mark Hix

    Mark Hix's career seems to get better & better. After leaving Caprice Holdings in late 2007, he formed Restaurants Etc Limited with business partner Ratnesh Bagdai & launched Hix Oyster & Chop House in Smithfield as well as Hix Oyster & Fish House in Lyme Regis; he also helped to mastermind the launch iof The Albemarle in Brown's Hotel & opened his self-named flagship Hix in Soho during 2009. He learned his trade under Anton Edelmann, Vaughan Archer & Anton Mosimann at The Dorchester, before taking up his first head chef job at the Candlewick Room in London, aged just 22. From there he became head chef at Le Caprice, stepping into an executive chef role in 1990. His hearty British cooking is now among the most recognisable in the capital. As well as penning a weekly column for The Independent's Saturday magazine, he has written six cookery books. The latest, British Seasonal Food, was published in autumn 2008.
