History
Hampton Manor
In March 2008 the current owners, hoteliers Derrick and Jan Hill, acquired the estate.[10] They embarked on a multi-million pound renovation project and in 2019 opened Hampton Manor as a hotel with 15 bedrooms and restaurant.[10] Today their son James and his wife, Creative Director Fjona, run the business.[2] When Fjona re-designed the interiors of the Manor she took inspiration from its Arts and Crafts past; decorating the bedrooms with William Morris wallpapers and working with local craftspeople to create bespoke, handmade furnishings.[11][12] In 2017, with the success of Peel's Restaurant, James and Fjona rebranded the Manor to a Restaurant with Rooms. At the inaugural Midlands Food Drink and Hospitality Awards (formerly Birmingham Food Drink and Hospitality Awards), Hampton Manor won Best Afternoon Tea, Fine Dining Restaurant [Peel's Restaurant] and Boutique Hotel.[13] The following year Hampton Manor's Craig Newman won Best General Manager.
Peel's Restaurant
Hampton Manor is home to Peel's Restaurant. Opening in 2008, it wasn't until 2016 when Head Chef, Rob Palmer, took over the kitchen that the restaurant took gastronomic strides. Rob was just 27 when he took on the Head Chef role at Peel's having made the move from the Forest, Dorridge arriving at Peel's as Junior Sous Chef under Martyn Pearn.
Reception
Richard McComb of the Birmingham Post published news of Hampton Manor's refurbishment in September 2010, but from the beginning it was the food in Peel's Restaurant that received acclaim.[20] In August 2015 Hampton Manor and Peel's Restaurant received national coverage when Fiona Duncan visited on behalf of The Sunday Telegraph.[21] Fiona awarded the Manor 10/10 for food and drink and included in her roundup of the 'top ten hotels to visit and stay at in 2016' as her 'best surprise'.[22] Following Peel's' acquisition of a Michelin-star, she revisited her review in December 2017 for Country and Town House Magazine, stating it as a favourite hotel restaurant with a star [print].
In December 2015 Hampton Manor received more national press coverage as The Times included it in The Cool Hotel Guide: giving it a review of 8.5/10 and stating that 'food is an event'.[23] In November 2017 The Sunday Times names Hampton Manor one of the main cosy destinations in the UK.[24]
On gaining its Michelin-star, Peel's restaurant features in both local and national press pieces including being named in
Today, reviews focus on the Manor's reception and restaurant renovation, with Birmingham bloggers starting to visit the restaurant.[29][30][31]
