Philosophy
Set in the historic courtyard of Hampton Manor, Peel’s Restaurant provides an experience that is rich in history and yet is sophisticatedly modern. Our philosophy is that fine dining is about food and not formality, and that it should be affordable too.
Head Chef, Martyn Pearn, draws on a classical background that has seen him hold a Michelin star in both France and England for a period of over 12 years. Today Martyn’s cooking has an honesty and restraint that is refreshingly unfussy and consistently demonstrates his serious craft in delivering perfectly cooked food with bold and gusty flavours.
Martyn sources seasonal produce with quality and consistency as his guiding principles and the menus are changing continually to reflect this. We believe quality food should be affordable with Martyn taking some of the more unusual cuts of meat to create exceptional value with our Prix Fixe menus. Warwickshire and the surrounding counties provide inspiration, where possible, to source locally and within Hampton Manor plans to restore the estate’s walled garden are being shaped by the Chef and his team.
As our guests we want you to feel relaxed and comfortable when you spend the evening with us. There is no right way to dine so if you want to do things a little differently just let us know. Under the professional leadership of our restaurant manager, Bruno Pelletier, our team are trained to offer the highest standards of service to ensure you can relax and enjoy great company around plates of delicious food.
Martyn and Bruno have a vast knowledge of food and wine and passing that on to staff and customers is an ongoing journey to be enjoyed together. Sometimes you might see a word on the menu that is unfamiliar, that isn’t an attempt to be pretentious but a provocation to dig a little deeper and discover a story worth telling. We are very proud of the kitchen and our team so if you want to come and have a look around and meet the chefs you are welcome.
