The G7 world leaders will be enjoying a Cornish beach barbecue following day two of the summit.

It's been a hot day and there's been some hot topics, including climate change and the Covid recovery.

But it's a mixture of business and pleasure as the leaders get set to dine with a menu fit for a president.

The Saturday night dinner will be cooked by Chef Simon Stallard, from the Hidden Hut in Portscatho.

What's on the menu I hear you ask?

Canapes including: sparkling scallops, Curgurrell Crab Claws and Portscatho Mackerel.

Main: Seared and smokey Moorland sirloin, Newlyn lobster and scorched leeks served with sides of layered Cornish potato chips, St Just purple sprout broccoli and salt baked beetroot.

Dessert: Beach Hut Sundae

But that's not it, afterwards the leaders will be able to have baked brie, hot buttered rum and toasted marshmallows around firepits on the beach.

And to wash it all down, the leaders will be offered Cornish sparkling wine, German Riesling, Australian Shiraz, Cornish beer and hedge row fizz cocktail to drink.

World leaders will also enjoy a performance from a local sea shanty group and Red Arrows at 7.30pm on Saturday 12th June.
