The Gladwin family – founders of London restaurants Rabbit, The Shed, Sussex, The Black Lamb and The Pig’s Ear – have opened their first venture outside the city. Taking them back to their childhood village and deepening their Sussex agrotourism roots, The Black Horse in Amberley is a restored 19th-century pub with rooms close to their Nutbourne vineyard. Following a sensitive refurb, the Grade II-listed pub has 11 bedrooms, a garden with fire pit and a relaxed restaurant with an open kitchen. Guided by their ‘what grows together, goes together’ ethos, the menu champions seasonal local produce – think Maldon oysters with rhubarb mignonette, South Coast scallops, Sussex beef and vineyard lamb. A BBQ menu and weekly Wine Supper Club add to the appeal, alongside warm, design-led interiors by Ellie Dichler.

Sea-m’s SS26 collection draws inspiration from the striking contrasts of Lanzarote’s black sand beaches. Designed by founder Kate, the seven-piece capsule channels the island’s volcanic terrain, crisp white stone and sculptural cacti into a refined yet effortless summer wardrobe. At its core is linen in its purest form – breathable, structured and intentionally pared back. A palette of tomato red, citrus hues and off-white plays against inky black, creating a collection that feels both fresh and enduring. Silhouettes strike a balance between relaxed and tailored, from curved-hem shorts and sharp Bermudas to sculptural halter dresses and a reimagined waistcoat. Crafted from 100% linen, these are elevated warm-weather staples with a contemporary edge.
