“Exceptional cooking over open fire” is the hallmark of MasterChef: The Professionals (2019) winner Stuart Deeley’s rustic outfit in “an old estate out-building” at the edge of the walled garden at Hampton Manor. The main courses are “superb”, and “most of the accompaniments are also kissed by the magic flames”“service is absolutely top-notch and they’ve created a wonderful atmosphere, too”.

This “atmospheric restaurant” serves “excellent, very tasty and well-presented dishes” cooked over fire – appropriately in an old Victorian furnace house in the walled garden of Hampton Manor (“close to Grace & Savour and a short distance from the Manor itself”). Head chef Stuart Deeley won MasterChef: The Professionals in 2019.

Launched in late 2021, an old Victorian furnace house on the edge of the Manor’s walled garden provides the venue for this relatively informal operation, where MasterChef: The Professionals winner, Stuart Deeley, cooks over coals. It was the most popular option at the property this year, although one report felt that “while the BBQ was perfectly good, it needed elevating to meet its aspirations”.

Summary

Launched in September 2021, this new ‘restaurant experience’ – in Victorian greenhouses on the edge of a walled garden – is billed as ‘Peel’s edgier younger brother’. At the stoves, MasterChef: The Professionals winner, Stuart Deeley, who presides over a ‘rustic’ menu with food cooked over fire that ‘celebrates seasonal produce, sustainable farming and simplicity’. Four courses are £65 or six courses are £85. (Deeley had originally aimed to open in Brum’s Jewellery Quarter, but his plans were put on hold during the pandemic, and Hampton Manor became the venue for his ‘Brummie fusion food’.)
