A recognition of creativity, craft and a distinctive approach to dining.
At Restaurant Interlude, cooking is an expression of place, season and imagination. Under the direction of Chef Jean Delport, each menu is an exploration of the natural world, bringing together considered techniques, exceptional ingredients and a distinctive creative vision.
We are delighted to share that Jean is featured in the Chef of the Year category at the Food & Travel Reader Awards 2026.
Set within the grounds of Leonardslee, Restaurant Interlude offers a dining experience shaped by its surroundings. From the first expression of a dish to the details that complete an evening, Jean and his team approach their work with curiosity, precision and a deep respect for the ingredients they use.
The Food & Travel Reader Awards are decided by public vote, making this recognition particularly meaningful.
