Leonardslee Gardens Episode 8

In this new podcast interview, Adam Streeter, the general manager of Leonardslee, and chefs Jean Delport and Ruan Pretorius provide a glimpse into the philosophy, journey, and unique offerings of Michelin Star award-winning Restaurant Interlude.  

With their passion, commitment to sustainability and dedication to creating a memorable experience, Jean and Ruan have elevated Interlude to become a gem in the vibrant British culinary scene, one that is increasingly attracting rave reviews in UK national media. 

From the outset, it is evident that Interlude is more than just a restaurant - it is a destination. Jean and Ruan have crafted an immersive experience where guests are taken on a unique culinary journey within the historic Grade I Listed garden estate. The chefs aim to create an atmosphere where guests can unwind, relax, and revel in the sensory delights of their meticulously prepared dishes. Interlude is not a place for a quick meal; it is a sanctuary where time slows down, and every moment is savoured.
