Hampton Manor is not a pretty building. Hampton Manor is a Tudor Gothic-style country house hotel near Birmingham airportOur room (we’re upgraded without having to ask) has a huge bay window, high ceilings and cheerful colours. ‘This is where your dinner experience begins,’ says a waiter as we are shown into the drawing room, which has William Morris wallpaper. And the atmosphere is informal, which is unusual in a Michelin restaurant, where a waiter can take ten minutes to describe unsalted butter. Instead, Hampton Manor is preparing for a winter wedding, a far happier thought — necessary when we discover that our dinner with drinks has come to £230.
