Who comes here?
“Honestly, people come from all over the world to Cornwall to try and eat at any of Nathan’s restaurants.”
Best table in the restaurant
“If you can get in, just take any table they give you!”
Best time to go
“If you really want to go deep with Nathan’s cooking, then book dinner when the only option available is a seafood-tasting menu, and they recommend that you allow three and a half hours to enjoy it.”
Dish to order
“I had the crab tart, which is a signature dish, and then the main course of red mullet with Porthilly sauce and roasted fennel. The red mullet is cut perfectly and placed over the sauce, but it’s that simplicity with perfect execution and perfect flavour combination that makes it so memorable.”

Restaurant Interlude, Horsham
“We recently did a collaboration with the chef here, Jean Delport, who is South African, and the restaurant is set in a beautiful Leonardslee Estate in Sussex. It is a really small, very intimate restaurant. I just loved it. Jean uses lots of local produce and has their grounds where they forage. We did a collaboration meal together for a charity recently, but what he does is amazing, and his dishes are totally inspired by nature, although his South African heritage comes through a little bit, too.”
Who comes here?
“Interlude has a Michelin star, so it pulls in foodie crowds from far and wide.”
Best table in the restaurant
“Interlude is in a Grade 1 listed building, and the room itself has the vibe of a very formal dining room. As I said, it is cosy and intimate and not very big, but there are bay windows, and the tables under them are nice.”
Best time to go
“Anytime is wonderful, but if you can book in and stay in one of the estate’s rooms, I’d do that. Make a whole weekend of it if you can.”
Dish to order
“All of Jean’s offerings are brilliant, but you know what? The bread he makes, which he serves with these different dips and butter and seasonings, is just amazing. Bread is one of the simplest things to make, but he does it exceptionally well.”
