Restaurant Interlude at Leonardslee awarded Michelin Green Star

Restaurant Interlude at historical Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens has been awarded a Michelin Green Star, the first restaurant in West Sussex to receive this accolade. It recognises Interlude's outstanding sustainable practices and ethically-sourced seasonal cuisine crafted by executive chef Jean Delport.

The Michelin Star award organisers commented, "It's quite an achievement to hold both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star, but that's exactly what the team at Interlude have managed thanks to their continued efforts towards sustainable gastronomy.

"The restaurant sits within the 240-acre Leonardslee Gardens, from which a sizeable chunk of the kitchen's produce is sourced – including honey from their seven beehives and sap from their birch trees. These ingredients are crafted into creative dishes on a singular, regularly changing menu, designed to reflect the estate and the seasons, as well as to reduce food waste. Vines have been planted too and an orchard is on the way next."
