The restaurant, which opened in the hotel in 2008 and won a Michelin star seven years later, will have its last service on New Year’s Eve before the space is given over to a more informal, all-day restaurant.
The move follows the launch earlier this year of Grace & Savour at the West Midlands-based hotel. Opened in February it is located in the manor’s walled garden and has five garden suites for staying guests. The restaurant has since been included in the Top 20 restaurants in The Good Food Guide.
“The recent demand for UK foodie staycations allowed us the opportunity to continue operating both Peel's and Grace & Savour alongside one another this year. However, it has always been our vision and goal to continue to move forward as a culinary destination, and as we look forward, we want to concentrate our team and resources around the next chapter of our story,” the hotel says in a statement.
In addition to Grace & Savour, the hotel is also home to Smoke restaurant, which serves wood-fired dishes in a Victorian greenhouse setting, and The Bakery, both of which will remain open.
“The changes will allow us to strengthen and broaden our vision for creating an estate for all food-lovers. Meanwhile, the original Manor House will launch a new all-day dining menu as it leans into a more accessible lifestyle hotel vibe,” the hotel adds.
“We would like to express our deep gratitude to head chef Monty Stonehewer, and the rest of his team in Peel’s, for their outstanding work during the restaurant’s tenure. Many of the team will move across to help take the vision at Grace & Savour forward to its fullest expression, and some will strengthen our growing passion for cooking on fire at Smoke.”
