Jean Delport on the 20th Anniversary of The Great British Menu

Leonardslee Gardens Season 1 Episode 11

In this special episode, join MD of Leonardslee and host Adam Streeter as we go behind the scenes of The Great British Menu’s 20th anniversary with none other than Michelin-starred chef Jean Delport of Restaurant Interlude at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens - champion of two standout dishes at this year’s banquet finals. 

Joined by his wife and Restaurant Manager, Anya Delport, we get a glimpse into the dynamic partnership that fuels Interlude’s success. 

We also sit down with the man behind the magic of the table: Ben from Designs Woodcraft, whose bespoke handcrafted props helped bring Jean’s plates to life on screen. Designs Woodcraft is a West Sussex based family run company specialising in bespoke handmade furniture and one-off pieces, all built and installed using sustainable materials. 

From the pressure of the competition to the passion behind the plating, this is a rich, flavourful conversation you won’t want to miss.
