Theresa May has held crunch Brexit talks with her cabinet and advisers at Chequers, her country retreat.

Following discussions over Britain's future relationship with the EU, the prime minister announced that a new UK-European Union free trade area for goods will be created.

But what happened during the lengthy talks at Chequers on Friday?

Ministers reportedly had to hand their phones in as they arrived in order to concentrate on making some of the most important decisions in a generation.

To power them through the day the group enjoyed a buffet lunch of BBQ chicken thighs with a salad of wheat, beets, squash and feta, estate new potato salad, estate grown mixed leaves and a summer tomato salad with pomegranate dressing.

For those still hungry they were served Chequers scones with clotted cream and estate strawberry jam, Graham's sticky tea loaf and a fruit platter.

Official photos released by Number 10 show ministers standing around in informal groups in the historic surroundings of the 16th century manor house in Buckinghamshire.

They first met in a high-ceilinged room under portraits, including a painting of Queen Henrietta Maria holding the future Charles II.

After more talks through the afternoon, where Theresa May was pictured talking to ministers, they were kept going with a dinner of whiAG百家乐在线官网 and treacle cured Scottish salmon smoked over whiAG百家乐在线官网 barrel chips and served on homemade sourdough.

For the main course they had Oxfordshire beef fillet with crispy shin, baby leeks, turned estates potatoes with rich beef gravy.

And for dessert there was marmalade bread and butter pudding with English custard and orange ice cream.
