Mark Hix on Tramshed, the pressure to innovate and British produce

http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/ Mark Hix's latest restaurant, Tramshed on Rivington Street in Shoreditch, has finally opened and BigHospitality sat down with the trend-setting chef, restaurateur and writer to talk about the project and his career in the industry. Protests from nearby residents over a late licence threatened to derail the plans for the restaurant and Hix even walked away from the project at the Grade II listed building in the chef's local neighbourhood at one stage. In an exclusive video interview for BigHospitality, Hix talks about the long road to developing his simple chicken and steak concept, whether he feels the pressure to be innovative and on his projects to date including his most recent in a Belgravia hotel which he says he was given a hard time over by food critics and was a big challenge.
