Michelin Star Interlude Restaurant Sussex.jpg

We Won! Our First MICHELIN Star

Set within the historic Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens estate near Horsham in West Sussex, Restaurant Interlude is one of the first vineyard restaurants to win a Michelin Star in the UK and Ireland 2020 Michelin Guide Awards.


Q & A with Executive Chef Jean Delport

It is a rare achievement for a chef, particularly after just one year of trading, and having created a kitchen from scratch within Grade II Listed Leonardslee House.

So we wanted to find out more about Jean, a South African, who so impressed restaurant owner Penny Streeter that she decided to bring him 6,000 miles to create this new dining experience within the Sussex estate, to a theme of woodland foraging and locally sourced produce.
