Hampton Manor’s Michelin-starred Peel’s restaurant is set to close on New Year’s Eve and relaunch as a more casual offering.

The restaurant will close at the end of the year to allow the hotel to focus on its newer restaurant Grace & Savour, a large dining space with five garden bedrooms, which launched in February earlier this year.

In a statement, Hampton Manor said: "We wanted to move beyond the formality of a country house setting to embrace the story of the produce growing in our walled garden,"

The hotel added: "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."

In 2008, Peel’s opened in the original dining room of the Hampton-In-Arden country house and has since won a Michelin star and four-AA-rosettes.

Grace & Savour has already won four-AA-rosettes and is recommended in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland, though it does not currently hold a star or Bib Gourmand.

The original manor house will launch a new all-day dining restaurant next year which Hampton Manor said would help it create a "more accessible lifestyle hotel vibe".
