Experiencing The Hidden Hut

The Hidden Hut on the Roseland peninsula.

Nestled at the back of Porthcurnick beach, and sending wafts of Indian spice, sweet patisserie and heady coffee up the path to the car park on the edge of Portscatho, The Hidden Hut lies in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

“…each meal is prepared on massive burners in the outside kitchen, at which the chefs can be seen weaving their culinary magic.”

The lunch menu is hard to choose from, such are the delights on offer, and while it isn’t licensed, you’re more than welcome to bring your own wine or beer. What could be better than a glass of your favourite tipple, overlooking the golden sands of Porthcurnick on a summer’s afternoon after a delicious, homemade meal?

Everything here is homemade, from cakes to pastries, pasties to flatbreads, and each meal is prepared on massive burners in the outside kitchen, at which the chefs can be seen weaving their culinary magic.

If you’d like to learn to cook some of the dishes that have made this unique beachside restaurant an instant hit, owner Simon Stallard recently released The Hidden Hut, a cook book showcasing inspiration for creating magical and memorable feasts, each recipe having been adapted for home cooking and each being achievable for both small families and large gatherings.
