Restaurant Interlude Reopens and Wins Three Rosettes in AA Awards

Set within the historic Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens estate near Horsham in West Sussex, Restaurant Interlude opens on December 3rd at the end of lockdown and has just won an AA Rosette award. This follows the achievement in 2019 of a first Michelin Star for executive chef Jean Delport and his team.

The AA Rosette awards began in 1956 and were the first nationwide scheme for assessing the quality of food served by restaurants and hotels. The award inspector said:-

“Interlude occupies a glorious setting in the woodland gardens of Leonardslee Estate. The grand old house doesn’t lack for character with its high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, oil paintings and chandeliers, while the kitchen takes its cue from the seasons and makes full use of pickings from its own gardens, as well as foraging and tapping into the local food network for top-notch Sussex produce.

Expect bright, lively flavours in epic-length tasting format, from beef tartare smoked with gorse flowers, to poached plaice with parsley purée and knotweed vinegar, or 28 day-aged Middlewhite pork with wild garlic and capers.”
