When the world’s leaders descended on Cornwall last month for the G7 summit, they’d landed in perhaps Britain’s foodiest county. With 41 Michelin stars to its name and countless chefs making use of the region’s world-class seafood and produce, there was plenty of choice to wow the politicians.
The event’s showpiece banquet, however, was catered not by a chef from one of the county’s many white-linen-and-silver-cutlery spots, but by the owner of a humble seaside shack, Simon Stallard of the Hidden Hut near Truro: proof that some of Britain’s best cookery is taking place in informal sheds, trucks and converted boathouses around the country.
