Editorial content by Cheryl Markosky and Mandy Lebentz
Page 16 Once a niche pastime, padel tennis has exploded in popularity across the UK - earning celebrity fans like Sir Andy Murray and becoming the must-play sport at clubs from Roehampton to Chiswick. Cheryl Markosky explores why this sociable, fast-paced hybrid of tennis and squash is being dubbed “the new golf”, how it’s changing the property landscape, and why it might be easier to pick up a padel bat than book a court.
Page 40 Across the UK, a quiet revival is brewing. From Michelin-starred menus to marshmallow toasting, Cheryl Markosky meets the bold new custodians of Britain’s historic pubs - families and entrepreneurs restoring much-loved locals to their former glory. Whether it’s The William IV in Surrey or The Tichborne Arms in Hampshire, these revamped watering holes are proof that, with heart and hustle, the great British pub can be saved - one pint at a time.
Page 88 From champion jockey to luxury car director, Amanda Perrett has spent her life powered by horsepower -on and off the track. Raised at West Sussex’s famed Coombelands estate, she now juggles equestrian excellence with the high-end automotive world. Amanda shares her story of racing triumphs, family legacy, and the next generation of riders - and reveals why she still prefers a Land Rover Defender over a supercar.

ANYONE FOR PADEL?
What’s behind the rise of padel tennis, the popular new game backed by celebrities like Sir Andy Murray? Cheryl Markosky finds out
Forget “Anyone for tennis?” Because these days you’re more likely to hear: “Anyone for padel?”
Padel tennis, the world’s fastest growing racket sport, is the love child of tennis and squash, an easy mix of both that is fast, fun and coming to a sports centre near you (if it hasn’t already got there).
It’s believed that padel was invented in Acapulco, Mexico in 1969 by Enrique Corcuera after modifying his squash court to incorporate elements of tennis. Originally, the walls and surface were concrete, but they’ve been typically replaced with glass walls and artificial turf.
A friend of Corcuera was so impressed by the game he imported it to Spain, and as they say, the rest is history. Padel’s particularly big in Spain and Google searches for padel after Spain.
Originally a niche sport, it soared in popularity during Covid, as it could be played outdoors (as well as indoors) and there’s no physical contact.
Celebrity players include Rafael Nadal, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Maria Sharapova and Martina Hingis. Sir Andy Murray, along with his brother Jamie, Andrew Castle and Annabel Croft, have invested in G4P, a company that’s built courts at five venues, including an
“ As a form of tennis, it’s a lot easier to play. You have to bounce the ball first and then serve underarm below waist level, so no one can return the ball as hard – which suits tennis players like me who are terrible at serving. Also, you play doubles on a court that is one-third the size of a tennis court, with less running about. Jasper Colliver, South West London Regional Partner for house. Partnership
THE PADEL COURT
The padel court is 10 metres wide and 20 metres long 20 METRES
The net is 10 metres long and 88cm high at the centre, rising to 92cm at the ends
Service lines are parallel to the net at a 6.95m distance
The court is enclosed to bounce the ball off the walls
exhibition court at London’s Westfield shopping centre. G4P has plans to construct a further 50 courts in the UK.
Jasper Colliver, South West London Regional Partner for house. Partnership, was introduced to padel (or “the new golf”, as he calls it) by friends at the Roehampton Club where two padel courts were installed in 2021. “As a form of tennis, it’s a lot easier to play. You have to bounce the ball first and then serve underarm below waist level, so no one can return the ball as hard –which suits tennis players like me who are terrible at serving. Also, you play doubles on a court that is one-third the size of a tennis court, with less running about.”
Another big selling point, Colliver adds, is that everyone can play everyone else, compared to tennis where generally you need to find someone at your level. “As soon as you pick up a padel bat you can hit some good shots, get some fast-paced rallies going and feel amazing. Adults can play with children, with many of the
latter taking up padel to start with and then moving onto tennis.”
The only downside currently, Colliver says, is trying to book a court. “Padel’s become so popular sometimes you have to wait several weeks to play.” Colliver even has prospective buyers wanting to live near sports venues, such as the Roehampton Club and Rocks Lane, that provide padel courts.
But things are changing as more padel courts come on stream. Rocks Lane in Barnes has installed four courts, with an additional 12 courts over at Rocks Lane on Chiswick Common.
According to former banker Oliver Milton, a member of the Roehampton Club who plays regularly in a group with Colliver, Roehampton currently has two padel courts and the club aims to have six new padel courts (with some or all covered) within the next 18 months.
It’s been reported that some tennis players are concerned that
10 METRES
Playing padel in mixed doubles on outdoor court.
BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO PADEL
l Doubles is the most common format, on a 10 by 20 metre court (smaller than a tennis court).
l Padel balls are similar to tennis balls, but are slightly smaller.
l Rackets are made of a composite material, with a perforated hitting surface, and are without strings.
l Courts have concrete, plastic or artificial grass surfaces.
l You have to bounce the ball first before serving underarm and you cannot serve above waist level.
l Scoring follows the tennis system, with the exception of the introduction of the “Golden Point”, which occurs when the score reaches deuce. The receiving team chooses whether the service will come from the right or left of the court. The team that wins that one single point will win the game.
l Padel is for everyone. A beginner can play someone more advanced, an older player can play someone 20 years younger and mixed sex groups are common.
padel’s taking over from tennis, but Milton doesn’t believe this is happening. “A number of members regard padel as simply another sport they can play, rather than it replacing tennis. Padel can help with your tennis game, as certain drop and spin shots are brought over to tennis.”
Milton adds that the Roehampton Club has always developed talented young tennis players and nurtured many under 18s who’ve gone on to train at Wimbledon. “Equally, some of the coaching staff at the Roehampton Club are ranked highly in the Padel League and will keep an eye out for padel players on the way up.”
“More young members, in particular, are keen to play padel,” he says, including my two kids, aged eight and ten. My youngest absolutely loves it. He can get into an actual game very quickly. It’s a very friendly and sociable sport.”
At the end of the day, it’s about a mix of ages and sexes having fun playing a game they love. “Our group of 55 players has so much fun on club nights,” says Milton. “There can be seven or eight of us on one court, chatting and watching, as well as taking turns to play. And as padel continues to grow it can only get more accessible.”
“Anyone for padel?” You bet.

Pints & Passion: Communities Reviving Britain’s Historic Pubs
Cheryl Markosky talks to intrepid individuals who’ve injected new life into neglected public houses
Jeremy Clarkson recently bought a pub near his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds that needs work, such as removing dead rats from the loft and propping up a sagging gable end.
He’s not the only famous name to take on such a brave, and some might say insane endeavour. James May runs The Royal Oak in the Wiltshire countryside, Guy Ritchie owns Lore of the Land in Fitzrovia and Sir Ian McKellen The Grapes in east London.
Clarkson says he wants a table in the corner of the pub with his name on it where he can go with his granddaughter for Sunday lunch of gammon, egg and
chips. Perhaps somewhat a vanity project, but you could argue he’s also saving the pub for locals who’d be bereft if they lost it.
However, it’s not just celebrities buying up pubs in order to preserve them. Businessmen wanting to pivot in a new direction and young families keen to move to the countryside are also purchasing tired hostelries and bringing them back to life.
Although 500 pubs in England and Wales closed in 2023 and a further 80 in the first quarter of 2024, such gloomy statistics didn’t deter David Lubbock and his interior designer wife Lisa from buying The William
After living in the Surrey Hills area for 33 years, Lubbock says that “in a fit of madness”, the couple acquired the pub that had been shut for nine months. The deal coincided with last year’s sale of David’s petrochemical business.
“The pub was fairly rundown, so we carried out a full renovation, redoing all the interiors, drainage and drive,” he explains.
Lubbock points out that it was important to maintain the integrity of the historic,16th century building, while at the same time
IV Pub (known as “The Willy”) in the village of Albury.

keeping everybody happy. “There are two crowds that frequent The Willy – those that come for a drink in a boozer and others who come to eat. The ambience had to be right for both groups.”
Luckily, The Willy’s makeover has satisfied everyone, with natural wood married sympathetically with modern but classic furniture – without the building losing its Grade-II listed character.
Those wanting to pop in for a pint undisturbed can still do so. And foodies will not be disappointed, with two Michelin-starred chefs, in-house dry-ageing fridge, state-of-the-art Josper grill for open charcoal cooking, wood-fired pizza oven and The Pheasant Room that seats 12 for private dining.
According to Lubbock, the team source ingredients from local farmers and independent suppliers so it can offer high-quality pub food with a Mediterranean twist. Menu highlights include chalk stream trout, fallow deer, cured monkfish, and Blancs de Blancs and Sparkling Rosé from nearby Albury Organic Vineyard.
Pubs are a big part of Britain’s history, so the plan was to create a traditional country pub feel—blending old charm with fresh ideas to bring the community together Susie Czopor, The Tichborne Arms
While this is a first, but highly successful, pub venture for the Lubbocks, former singer/songwriter Susie Czopor and her husband Joel come from hospitality backgrounds. “I was brought up in a pub in North London and Joel’s family took over a nightclub and turned it into a restaurant.”
The couple transformed rundown pubs in London, including The Grafton in Kentish Town, before deciding to swap the city for Hampshire where they could start a family. A friend spotted a To Let sign over the door of The Tichborne Arms near Alresford. The Czopors contacted the landlord immediately, took on the lease in 2021 and spent nine months carrying out a monumental refurbishment.
“The Tichborne was very charming in a picturesque location, but in need of a bit of love,” says Czopor. “We had to bring it into the modern era.” This involved boldly knocking two bars into one –“upsetting some people, but they keep coming in” – and building an extension with a dining room to join up the pub and a barn.
Pubs are a big part of Britain’s history, believes Czopor, therefore the plan was to create a traditional country pub feeling, with a mix of green banquette seating, wooden tables, cosy open fires and soft furnishings.
“We also massively relandscaped the gardens and removed a hedge to open up views of the water meadows where Hereford cattle graze. Our summers, when people can enjoy sitting outside, are incredibly busy now,” adds Czopor.
When it comes to food Joel’s at the helm, with his intense focus on fire cooking. Entire lambs hang from an Asado fire pit and highly trained chefs concoct interesting comestibles in a Big Green Egg charcoal smoker.
There are two crowds that frequent The Willy – those that come for a drink in a boozer and others who come to eat. The ambience had to be right for both.”

and work closely with Hampshire Fare’s purveyors of local produce.
Of course, you must provide comforting classics like burgers, and fish and chips, says Czopor, but people are more health conscious now and watch what they eat and drink. The couple have open conversations with customers and listen to feedback.
As a young family – the Czopors have two children: Cleo, now 2, born five days after
Tips on how to breathe new life into a faded pub
• Make everything as excellent as you can. Quality matters.
• Try to stay within your budget as much as is humanly possible. It’s easy to get carried away.
• It’s all about the staff. Employ a good manager and top creative chefs.
• Differentiate your pub and approach from others close by.
• Sympathetically marry old and new, while maintaining the building’s character.
• The devil’s in the detail. It’s quite intangible, but you know when those details aren’t right.
• Create different reasons why people should come to the pub, from family events and themed evenings to fun pop-ups and supper clubs with local wine and beer pairings.
the pub re-opened, and Oran, 5 – they are savvy about how to attract families to the premises. The Tichborne hosts child roleplaying sessions for babies and toddlers together with Little Bears from Winchester, pizza nights on Mondays and Wednesdays, and marshmallow toasting over the weekends.
Living near an active, family-friendly country pub is highly coveted as the focal point of a rural community, reports Charlie Chute, house. Partnership’s Regional Partner
for Hampshire. He notes that “village pubs are still very high on buyers’ wish lists, along with good views and schools”.
And despite some recent closures, it’s heartening to know that, with a bit of care and ingenuity, flagging pubs can be resurrected – melding the old with new to bring joy to all.

Driven by Horsepower
Amanda Perrett was raised on horsepower – from racing stables to supercars.
Amanda Perrett grew up in an environment dominated by horsepower – both equestrian and engine-related. Her father, racehorse trainer Guy Harwood, established Coombelands Racing Stables in Pulborough, West Sussex in 1965, at around the same time his father Wally Harwood was developing nearby Harwoods Garage site to grow his luxury car retailing business. Amanda went on to become a champion amateur jockey, the first woman to ride in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, and a successful international three-day event rider.
Today she runs Coombelands Equestrian along with her husband Mark Perrett, a successful National Hunt jockey, and sister Lucinda Crowley, also a former highly reputed amateur jockey. With first-class facilities, including a crosscountry course, all-weather arenas and gallops and equine swimming pool, it’s one of the country’s most renowned horse-racing and training facilities. She is also a director of Harwoods Group, the automative retail group now chaired by her father, specialising in premium cars, including Bentley and Aston Martin.
Where were you born and what were your earliest childhood memories?
I was born in London but grew up at Coombelands. I have many happy memories of being surrounded by racehorses and living in an equestrian community. I was 17 and racing competitively when Dancing Brave won the Arc [Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, a prestigious annual horse race run at Longchamps racecourse in Paris]. I understood the importance of such a special horse. He was a three-year-old colt trained by my father and ridden by Pat Eddery and the race was considered one of the greatest ever because of the strength of the field and Dancing Brave’s performance – his winning time set a new record.
Where did you go to school?
I first went to Arundale School in Pulborough, a great little school where I met many of my best friends who are still in my life today. I then spent a year at Prior’s Field in Godalming, which I hated – no one seemed interested in sport and I disliked boarding. I moved to Farlington in Horsham, where I was much happier. The current headmaster there, James Passam, promotes his riding team and has horses with us.
Can you remember how old you were when you first rode a horse and how it felt?
I was very young – I think around three or four years old. I had a pony called Cock Robin who used to bolt with me on the lead rein!

Did your father encourage you to become a jockey? Was it more difficult to be taken seriously as a woman on the field back then?
I rode in the Newmarket Town Plate when I was 13 and started point-to-pointing at 16. Dad never pushed us to be jockeys but all three of us [Amanda and her sisters, Gaye and Lucinda] had a lot of fun riding on the flat and under National Hunt rules. There was only one trainer who used to give us girls a hard time – otherwise we were treated as equals to the men, at least in the amateur division.
When and where did you win your first race and how did it feel?
I won the Newmarket Town Plate aged 14 – it was amazing. On the flat, I won on Pactolus at Lingfield in mum’s (Gillian Harwood’s) colours.
Is three-day eventing a different discipline to racing? Did you need a different mindset when competing? The mindset is the same for any sport, equestrian or not. You need dedication and hard work to get to the top of your profession – and even more to stay at the top, but you are also only as good as the team helping you.
Your sisters, Lucinda and Gaye were also successful jockeys. Was there ever any sibling rivalry?
Lucinda is 10 years younger than me so when she started riding, I had moved on to training, so there was never any rivalry. We helped each other. Gaye was three years younger than me – she was a professional rider and by far the best jockey of the three of us. [Gaye, who played a pivotal role in designing, building and running Coombelands Equestrian, was tragically killed in a car accident in 2019].
“ It’s incredibly rewarding to help young horses and riders progress to the top.

Your husband, Mark, and brother-in-law
Jim Crowley are all part of the team at Coombelands – do you all have different roles/responsibilities?
Mark has always trained the horses on a daily basis. I am only really the office girl. Luce and Gaye were exceptionally helpful and excellent work riders, while Jim also rode for us early on in his flat racing career when not required to ride for the trainers he is retained by. We all live at Coombelands, which is nice.
Now the younger generation are also involved. How are your own children, as well as your nieces and nephews progressing in their equestrian careers?
My son, Ryan, who is 18, has two show jumpers on the international circuit and takes an interest in racing. My daughter, Emma, has a lovely grey horse we bought this year and jumps nationally as well as
internationally. My niece, Alice, rode in the GB equestrian team this year, while her sister Bella has just come off ponies and is looking to move onto horses. My nephew, Sam Crowley, is a talented footballer but also show jumps and rides in races – he’s very competitive.
What are your ambitions at Coombelands for 2025?
We have a super yard of our own racehorses as well as those under trainer David Menuisier. Gaspard Maksud, the French team event rider, has his eventers and show jumpers here along with showjumper Ben Carus who has his lovely Grand Prix horse, It’s Confidential, and youngsters he is producing. We also run more than 100 events annually with Horse of the Year Show qualifiers and our second Pony Premier in June – so there’s plenty to keep us busy!
“ You need dedication and hard work to get to the top – and even more to stay there.

Given your family’s background in luxury cars, what car do you choose to drive?
I love my Land Rover Defender – but I can’t say I really enjoy driving on busy roads when commuting to the races or events.
Have you enjoyed driving on the 4 x 4 course at Coombelands as part of the Harwoods Group Bentley Event?
Yes – it’s such a great facility but unfortunately the manufacturers don’t embrace it enough. Learning what your 4x4 is capable of when being driven off-road is unbelievable and it’s something extra we can offer our customers.
How do you relax?
My favourite way to relax is walking with my beloved dogs, Ted, Rosie and Tilly.
Which aspect of life at Coombelands do you most enjoy? What motivates you?
It’s incredibly rewarding to help young horses and riders progress to the top. We are so lucky to benefit from Mum and Dad’s development of such a special place at Coombelands. Fear of failure has been a good motivational tool since we took over the training licence from Dad – before having children, we had more than 100 horses in training here. Prince Khalid bin
Abdullah was a huge influence on our career and it was a very sad day for us at Coombelands when he died. He was the most loyal man to work for – unfortunately we are no longer part of Juddmonte, the international thoroughbred horse racing and breeding enterprise he founded – but that is life.
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Take every opportunity that comes your way, treat others as you wish to be treated and have fun. Clients will come and go, so make more time for family and friends.
