This is the first time which I have tried the British famous tea and scones here. Nice experience of afternoon milk tea, delicious bakery, clotted cream and strawberry jam. Wonderful scenery in the garden of a huge building; founded in 1855.
Hampton Manor is a luxury country house hotel located on the outskirts of Birmingham in the little village of Hampton in Arden. Set in 45 acres of lush green surroundings, this 5 star hotel really does have it all. Home to stunning architecture, bags of history, award-winning Peel’s Restaurant and the perfect venue for weddings or celebrations, it has a touch of grandeur about it and you feel spoilt whilst staying here. This 19th-century Tudor country house apparently used to be a care home, before it was lovingly restored to all its glory. Inside it’s very grand, from the spiral staircase with huge chandelier at its centre, to wood panelled board rooms, a cosy bar, sumptuous dining room and The Parlour – a lavender coloured room with a warmly lit fireplace at either end which made for an unforgettable aroma.
Birmingham? for food? If you’d had asked me that same question five or six years ago I’d have disagreed with you, but now it’s a whole other story. Birmingham, famed for its quality curry houses is slowly become a top foodie destination. This culturally rich city is now home to 5 Michelin starred restaurants, a couple of Bib Gourmands and tons of AA Rosettes – within a 10 mile radius, there’s even more. We found ourselves staying on the outskirts of Birmingham in Solihull’s, Hampton-in-Arden. A quaint village experience with a cosy pub at its centre and home to the magnificent country house hotel, Hampton Manor.
Absolutely loved Peels restaurant.
The perfect way to finish our stay at Hampton Manor.
The food was spot on, I really enjoy tasting menus as you are left in the hands of the chef and this one certainly didn't disappoint.
The main event from our weekend stay was not a disappointment, this resturant lived up to and surpassed all our expectations. The food was beautiful, every course given the care and attention that you would expect from a Michelin starred resturant with some lovely little touches as well… a little lamb bacon roll made up from the lamb left overs was a fun and tasty way of getting me ready for my main course as well!
Sometimes I fear that fancy restaurants come with a pretence but that wasn’t the case her at all, the atmosphere was special but relaxed and the staff informed but incredibly friendly. The sommelier helped us pick a couple of wines to enjoy as we go and matched things up with the courses perfectly. I’ve shared a few pictures of our meal which I think help to give you an idea but no doubt don’t do it justice! It was a special meal for a special occasion, thanks to everyone who made it such a wonderful evening.
We enjoyed a night at Peel’s s part of a two day stay at Hampton Manor.
Really can’t fault the food or the service. Very friendly and attentive with lots of memorable dishes.
As a first time, we didn’t have previous visits to compare it to as others have, but compared to any of the best we have enjoyed it was easily up there.
They aim to practice farm to table with little mileage, but am sure there is plenty of good lamb closer than Suffolk. With that said though it was so good, i would not quibble that fact. NZ is a lot further away that’s for sure!
Anyhow, don’t just take it from me, see also from the other reviews. Peel’s is definitely worth checking out.

Cosy restaurant in the grounds of Hampton Manor. The beef was outstanding.
Limited but good menu 😋
Great wine list.
Food locally sourced.
Recommended.
We ate here as part of the 2 nights staycation package from Hampton Manor. They give you the option to upgrade from 4 to 6 courses - just do it. It is worth the extra £25.
What can I say - the dining room was beautiful, staff were excellent, and food were ambitious. Particularly worth mentioning was the "cheese on toast", and the tomato starter - they were practically perfect. The langoustine dish was missing the mark though - it's puff rice were chewy and the buttermilk sauce was under-seasoned. The chocolate & vanilla and the strawberry & cream desserts were both good - but perhaps a bit too similar in its texture and techniques used.
Over Peel's sits comfortably in the middle compared to many other Michelin 1 star restaurants in the UK. What makes it stand out are the people - they have heart and passionate about what they do. Not that others don't - but it is something that you feel particularly strongly after staying at the estate for 3 days.
Also - they gave a great wine list.
Absolutely amazing dinner at the Peels Pop-Up.
Get the wine flights to pair as they were phenomenally well done.
I even found a dessert wine I liked, for the first time in a very long time.
Such welcoming staff, the BEST service I have ever received. The food was AMAZING, really worth eating here!
The setting is also amazing, such a well kept place with great grounds, could not recommended highly enough!
We had an amazing 4 course meals with complimentary extra dishes. The food was superb, the service was excellent and the staff was very nice and welcoming. The surrounding is very nice and pleasant. We highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience. We had the seven course taster menu and were blown away by it. We were treated to a special surprise of being taken into the Tasting Room where we could witness the care and attention which went into preparing our food. All the staff were amazing as well which combined with the delicious food and great wine selections made it a night to be remembered. If you love great food then Peel's is the place to go next!
Incredibly high quality meal in a lovely setting at Hampton Manor. The 7 course taster was superb with highlights being the wagyu beef, wild duck and langoustine courses. The comfort wine flight had a couple of unusual choices but the majority were excellent pairings to the food. Service was also of a high standard.
Great seven course tasting menu and wine flight experience. Normally I don’t like fussy or rich food, I’m more steak and chips, but this was some of the nicest food I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve been to some top restaurants. Couldn’t fault the service at all, spot on. Lovely surroundings. Very enjoyable experience all round.
Nose to Tail, evening in the Smoke House. A tasting menu starring a local pig, marks the start of a new venture within the Hampton Manor family. Beautiful food (and paired wines) served in the more relaxed atmosphere of the conservatory.
Set in the beautiful Hampton Manor, Peel's has a luxurious feel. You are sat in the grand Peel's bar prior to your meal with comfy sofas and large ceilings and windows. Here, you are served canapés and are given the menu. You are then taken to the restaurant that overlooks the grounds and lovely trees. The waiters are very friendly and give knowledgeable recommendations for food and wine. The restaurant itself is in an old dining room with original period features, large wooden panelling around the walls and a wood burner. Food was fantastic and the kitchen altered the menu for us at a moment's notice. Waygu beef dripping butter was a highlight. Would definitely return.
I would visit this place quick before they're awarded their first michelin star and the prices go up. I've been to Le Gavroche recently and I rated my food tonight as better in every category. Presentation, flavour, creativity, price. Looking forward to returning to sample their tasting menu and selected wines.
Phenomenal food, service, location and ambiance. The dishes were creative, well balanced in flavour and texture.
Service isn't rushed, but timed just right.
