David Cameron treated Xi Jinping to some British hospitality when he took him to his local for a pint.
The Chinese president had revealed he was keen to sup some traditional ale during his state visit to the UK and the Prime Minister duly obliged.
Watched on by regulars in The Plough at Cadsden, a few minutes away from Mr Cameron's countryside residence of Chequers, the world leaders tucked into a basket of mini fish and chips with homemade tartare sauce washed down by a pint of Greene King IPA.
The pretty village pub is a favourite of Mr Cameron and the two men chatted to regulars during the 20 minute visit ahead of a formal dinner with their wives.
The Prime Minister, who famously once left daughter Nancy behind at The Plough after an afternoon out, joked with locals about the incident. "I've been in here a few times," he said. "I'm not leaving my family here today."
Earlier, the leaders met at Chequers where Mr Cameron took the president for a walk round the grounds, pointing out trees planted in honour of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as well as one he planted in 2012.
The pair then headed inside for an hour long bilateral that focused on international affairs and China's role on the world stage.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
