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.

Right, where were we? Can you remind me? Ah, yes – restaurants! I remember them. Or rather, I remember what they used to be. Whether it was a big, blousy room putting on a seamless show even as it allowed the diners to take centre stage, or a self-consciously curated little space in which the punters’ intimacy with the process was essentially what made the food enjoyable, I remember the way that good (and, indeed, less good) restaurants used to make me feel: thoroughly, in-the-moment alive. Which feels like a lifetime ago, does it not?
