Award-winning chef Stu Deeley has officially opened The Warwick — his highly anticipated new restaurant set within the elegant grounds of Mallory Court Country House Hotel & Spa in Leamington Spa. The opening marks a celebrated return for Stu, bringing his signature style of refined, ingredient-led British cuisine back to the Eden Hotel Collection.
Named after the historic town, The Warwick reflects the region’s enduring legacy of craftsmanship, blending classical technique with contemporary flair. The restaurant offers an elevated but unpretentious dining experience, rooted in the seasons and shaped by ingredients from the Mallory Court Kitchen Gardens. It promises a modern expression of refined British dining, set within the hotel’s historic grounds, where guests will enjoy an elevated yet welcoming dining experience.
The Warwick presents a choice of two tasting menus: a five-course Taste of the Season (£105) and a three-course menu (£90). Highlights include Cornish crab with Isle of Wight tomatoes, Poussin with Jamón sauce, and a garden-fresh peas and mint gazpacho with burrata and globe artichoke. Desserts pay homage to childhood classics, such as Stu’s nostalgic Baked Alaska.
Having first worked at Mallory Court early in his career, Deeley’s return is a deeply personal milestone. Deeley rose to national acclaim after winning MasterChef: The Professionals in 2019. With a background in Michelin-starred and multi-Rosette kitchens such as Simpsons, The Wilderness, and Mallory Court, Stu is known for bold, creative cooking and a deep respect for local ingredients.
As Chef Director at Hampton Manor Estate, he founded the Michelin-recommended restaurant Smoke, gaining recognition for its rustic elegance and seasonal British menus. The Warwick represents his most ambitious project to date — a bold new chapter combining classical flavours, carefully sourced ingredients, and warm hospitality.
Beyond the pass, Stu is committed to mentoring young talent, partnering with Halesowen College to teach and offer placements.
It takes its name from neighbouring Warwick as it’s steeped in centuries of heritage, nobility, and craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from Warwick Castle and the region’s medieval legacy, the name evokes tradition, strength, and refined British character. It reflects the restaurant’s commitment to time-honoured flavours and British provenance, offering a dining experience that is both elegant and young in the rich history of the area.
The Warwick is now open for dinner Wednesday to Sunday, and for lunch on Sunday.
Nestled in the heart of Warwickshire’s picturesque countryside, Mallory Court Hotel & Spa was recently named Large Hotel of the Year at the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2025.
