A feast with a viewEASY TRIPSPorthcurnick Beach is a barely touched sandy nookon Cornwallâs Roseland Peninsula. Almost the onlyman-made addition is the Hidden Hut â a pint-sizedcafé that sits discreetly on the grassy slope above. Opento beachgoers during the day, it also lays on selectedâfeast nightâ dinners, where guests bring their ownplates, cutlery and wine to sit at the long tables outsidewhile the chefs get to work. See out the last of summerover dishes such as crab with aioli, pork belly andcrackling, or Kashmiri lamb cooked over a wood fire.The last two feast night meals for the season at the Hidden Hut are on 19 September for£15 a head and 26 September for £17 (hiddenhut.co.uk/feast-nights).Portscatho is a half-hour drive from Truro and its train station, and 45 minutes fromNewquay Airport.
