The Hidden Hut

Perched above the golden sands of Porthcurnick Beach near Portscatho, The Hidden Hut is one of Cornwall’s most cherished culinary gems. This outdoor beach café has gained legendary status not only for its scenic seafront location but for its exceptional, simple food crafted with local, seasonal ingredients. By day, visitors can enjoy relaxed, hearty lunches like fresh seafood chowder, spiced dhal, or perfectly grilled local meats—all served with the sand between your toes and the sea breeze in your hair.

But it’s during their famous ticketed feast nights that The Hidden Hut truly shines. Guests gather under the stars for communal open-air dining, where one dish is prepared and served to all—think lobster with garlic butter or slow-roasted lamb over firepits, paired with spectacular sea views. It’s rustic, unforgettable, and a celebration of community, flavour, and Cornish heritage. Whether you're popping by post-swim for a slice of cake and a coffee or planning your visit around a feast, The Hidden Hut offers a warm welcome and a true taste of Cornwall.
