COSY COMFORT Independent, family-owned hotel collection Historic Sussex Hotels has recently welcomed a new venue into the fold with the opening of The Black Horse, a Grade II listed pub with rooms in Climping, West Sussex. As part of the careful and considered renovation, the existing downstairs bar area has been stripped back and the parquet wooden floor restored to its former glory. The Ryebank, a stunning oak frame extension filled with light and height with views over the fields has also been added. Completing the offering is a gloriously pink private room, perfect for cosy celebrations, a fun family lunch or a noisy dinner party. Upstairs are seven charming bedrooms. Each room features locallysourced antique furniture and wallpapers created by friend and neighbour Fiona Howard, who was inspired by the nature and coastline of Sussex. Extremely comfortable mattresses, hand-stitched headboards and fresh cotton bed linen ensure a fantastic night’s sleep for your guests after a night of celebrating your nuptials at a nearby venue.

GOING FOR GREEN Restaurant Interlude at historical Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens has been awarded a Michelin Green Star, the first restaurant in West Sussex to receive this accolade. It recognises Interlude’s outstanding sustainable practices and ethically-sourced seasonal cuisine crafted by executive chef Jean Delport. The Michelin Star award organisers commented, “It’s quite an achievement to hold both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star, but that’s exactly what the team at Interlude have managed thanks to their continued efforts towards sustainable gastronomy. “The restaurant sits within the 240-acre Leonardslee Gardens, from which a sizeable chunk of the kitchen’s produce is sourced – including honey from their seven beehives and sap from their birch trees. These ingredients are crafted into creative dishes on a singular, regularly changing menu, designed to reflect the estate and the seasons, as well as to reduce food waste. Vines have been planted too and an orchard is on the way next.” To find out more about hosting your wedding at Interlude and having your wedding breakfast catered by the Michelin-award-winning team, check out www.leonardsleegardens.co.uk/weddings A WELCOME RETURN Here at Your Sussex Wedding, we’re delighted to report that The Dome in Worthing has now reopened its doors and is taking wedding bookings for its event space upstairs!
