There are some restaurants that you have such a perfect experience at that you dare not revisit in case it does not live up to that memory. Restaurant Sat Bains is one of those – a restaurant I had visited nearly 4 years ago for my birthday and had one of those most interesting, thought-provoking meals. I can still remember each and every single dish of that meal which is a testament to how memorable my experience was. This would be my 3rd visit here, having visited once when they held a solitary star. For the complete, experience, we would also be staying in one of the hotel rooms, which are all individually furnished and unique. Nothing beats rolling into bed after a lengthy meal.
We had some difficulty booking as the restaurant only takes bookings a few months in advance. We were not disappointed - it was well worth the wait. The restaurant is quite small and intimate, but very comfortable. Service is excellent, the waiters attentive and knowledgeable but not intrusive. Our 10 Course menu was amazing with excellent attention to detail. We even got to meet Sat in the Kitchens, Thanks to all who made our visit special. We will definitely be making a return visit next time we are in the UK.
Nestling beneath a concrete underpass, just beyond the tobacco factory, around the bend from a large electricity pylon, on the banks of the river Trent, lies two Michelin starred Restaurant Sat Bains. It’s taken me a while to post anything about Sat Bains. Mainly because unusually, I find myself relatively inarticulate when describing how exciting I find eating at his restaurant. As a foodie holic, noting memorable dining experiences since 8 years old (seriously), I’m rarely lost for words about food. One word summarises the experience: joy. What follows borders on evangelical enthusing, but I don’t care. Here are a few of the reasons for my joy at the experience of visiting his restaurant, leaving me enthusing like Tigger.
