"The 240 acre, Grade I listed Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens were first planted in 1801 and are famous today for their azaleas, rhododendrons and even a wallaby colony. Within the grounds sits an Italianate mansion housing elegant bedrooms and this intimate restaurant. The surprise tasting menu keeps its focus firmly on the local area, with fabulous produce from deer to wild garlic coming from within the estate. The skilfully crafted dishes show good balance in their textures and flavours, and take on a creative, original style. The menu is presented in a shorter form at lunchtime." - Michelin Inspector
"This intimate, elegant restaurant lies within the historic 240 acre, Grade I listed woodland gardens of Leonardslee Estate; first planted in 1801, now open to the public and famous for their azaleas, rhododendrons, and free roaming deer and wallabies. The ever-changing Interlude menu is guided by what produce is available at any one time in the vegetable gardens and what can be foraged from the woodland; these ingredients are then brought to life in chef Jean Delport’s skilfully crafted, highly original dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
