Over the summer months The Hidden Hut puts on its famous feast nights, and if you are lucky enough to get tickets for their lobster and chips night, you’re in for a treat. Sitting at communal tables in The Hidden Hut’s garden, perched above Porthcurnick beach, one hundred lobsters are barbecued to perfection. Anticipation is high, and when the shout goes out that the food is ready, guests form an orderly queue, each receiving a whole lobster and piling their plates with chips, salad and garlicky aioli. Sitting in the evening sunshine with friends, a bottle of cold white wine, and tucking into lobster and chips is an idyllic way to spend an evening. Take your own crockery, cutlery, drinks and tablecloth. Pack warm clothes and waterproofs too, remember this is Cornwall. The Hidden Hut is also open for drinks, lunch and snacks during the season, with soups, salads, sandwiches and cakes on offer. Ad hoc lunch specials include huge pans of paella and seafood barbecues, depending on the catch.
