The Chef reccomendThe food is great. The setting is great. The service is great. Compared to the starred restaurants I've eaten at before the portions are miserly. No amuse bouche was disappointing. It's the sort of place you'd only go to occasionally as there is no a la carte, just tasting. Summer drinking in the garden is wonderful.
From the moment you are greeted at the door the total experience starts. All the staff are pleasant and you can see that they enjoy working there which in turn makes you visit more enjoyable. The food was out of this world full of flavour and texts bursting in your mouth. I had the wine tasting menu along side of the 10 course food menu, and all staff was full of knowledge whatever they were serving. Sat was visible through the night talking to people and he is as nice off air as he is on the telly, you can see that the customer is important to them. I could write about my experience for ever, I would strongly recommend a visit to Sat Baines
Our second visit, both times to celebrate significant birthdays with our longest standing friends. We were not disappointed! We went for the seven course menu, each and every one was superb. I can't recommend any one in particular as the menu will change from time to time but the variety of flavours in the food was both complementary and contrasting. Sat stopped for a chat while we had our coffee, and he is as nice in person as he appears on TV! The staff are all delightful and obviously love working there. Breakfast was also fantastic - I did follow Sat's advice to have the chorizo eggs! YUMMY!
Meal for 2 (one vegetarian), 10 course menu with wine pairing. Food and service was great - attentive but not intrusive. Special mention re the garden herb tagliatelle (I could have eaten this all night) and the sommelier (very knowledgable about the wines and answered any questions) both were excellent! You are not made to feel uncomfortable at all and therefore are able to relax and enjoy the food.
This was our second visit, the first being to the nucleus tester kitchen. We were a little nervous as we'd spend 2yrs telling everyone how amazing it was and now our friends were taking us there for their 40th birthday celebration. No pressure!😬 Did not disappoint. We sat at the chef's table and it was an amazing experience. Firstly if you love good and cooking you'll be wholly entertained by the goings on, the detail and effort out into every dish, the equipment and the expertise. We watched the chef carefully pick 3 separate flakes of salt and place them carefully on our desert. Then of course the food, just wow, there's no way to properly describe this. It's a science and these guys are Drs in their field. Any person describing the food as as anything other than amazing shouldn't have been there. Unless you appreciate food in the right way, you're wasting yours and the chef's time. Stay at home and have a ready meal. The staff were brilliant, friendly, accommodating, nothing was too much effort. Sat himself served a few of our dishes, had we not recognised him we wouldn't have known. No ego, no big announcement, he served us as all of the other chef's did. Seems a genuine, down to earth guy. Yes, it's expensive but when you appreciate the time, the thought, the effort, the training, the experience that come together it's definitely worth it. So happy 😊
Visited the restaurant last night in a party of four people. Absolutely amazing food, service, ambience, everything in fact. Was lucky enough to meet Sat as well as it was my birthday. We are so lucky to have this fantastic restaurant so close to us in Nottingham. Can’t wait to make a return visit.
Sat at the kitchen table and would throughly recommend as you get to interact with the chefs/ staff and see food being prepared. Food is stunning and memorable and I would always recommend this restaurant. Also nice to see that Sat Bains always seems to be there, friendly and happy to have a chat. Staff are also a credit to the restaurant.
This was our third visit and second at the kitchen bench. The food was once again sublime. We took the 10 course taster and it didn't disappoint. Each course was amazing especially the duck mixed grill main course. Kelvin looked after us well and Josh deserves a special mention too for sharing his wine knowledge with us. Sat also said hello which was nice. We will definitely be back!
Cannot praise this restaurant enough 🌟 🌟!! It really is outstanding! From the moment you arrive you immediately feel welcome, there are lots of staff working, all very friendly and knowledgable. The surroundings are lovely and Sat Bains does just stroll through the restaurant which is a bonus! We did the 7 course tasting menu, and when we arrived we were offered the option of 2 specials which we chose to add, so all in all we had 9 courses. Each course is so thought out and really focuses on the guest experience as the staff really know what they’re talking about when they bring you each dish. The first and last course are little tasters with each focusing on a different flavour, this brought a bit of fun to the dinner trying to guess which was which! There was ONE thing I didn’t like which was the hollandaise sauce on my main course duck dish, but that may just be down to my personal preference! The crab course is INSANELY GOOD. And don’t be put off by the dessert (chocolate, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar), it is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. We were also invited into the kitchen to meet Sat and the rest of the team which literally just made the evening for us. I would 100% recommend going here, it is well worth the money and it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely visit again!
This restaurant is well worth its two Michelin Stars. One of the most outstanding dining experiences you are likely to have outside London. Lovely environment, fantastic attentive service and the menu is so cleverly designed with superbly delicious complimentary courses following each other. A top class dining experience.
The attention to detail, combination of flavours and attentive service is beyond compare. We went with high expectations, but our experience exceeded those expectations. Staff were warm, genuine and kind. The food was amazing, I can not praise Restaurant Sat Bains highly enough.
Heard a lot about sat bains and was expecting to have a great night, unfortunately it was not. I found that the staff the service and all the trimmings, were as good as any. The food however was so blah that I wanted to just get the meal done with. Sorry to say this as my wife and I were expecting something special and although it was that time of year, it should not have made difference.
Took my mother for her 80 th as she loves fine dining . The staff , wine waiter etc ,excellent . An experience to recommend .
A40th anniversary meal was a wonderful lunch and afternoon. In the lovely gardens, the service was wonderful and very relaxing
My husband and I spent a night here earlier this year. We had high expectations following the reviews and word of mouth discussions. Sadly we were very disappointed with both the room as well as our meal. We paid close to £800 for DBB, with drinks. This sadly was not value for money. The staff were all lovely, especially the sommeliers, however the food left us wanting and the room felt cold and dated...despite the revamp. If this were compared to the Fox hill manor in the Cotswolds I know which I would favour. I think the team need to pull it back and really focus on meaningful details
We too sat at the pastry table. What an experience we saw how all the kitchen worked together to produced each fabulous plate of food. Go there with an open mind as you will eat combinations of food you have never had before. Wine pairing essential and came from the most enthusiastic sommelier. Every plate on the taster menu was presented and explained by each chef responsible for it including the patron himself Sat Bains.This added even more to the whole theatre of the kitchen,the star of the show being the food. We stayed in rooms 7 and 8 with our friends.The rooms were clean and well presented and luxury was the theme. We look forward to our next visit.
Absolutely fabulous visit here. The taster menu was exceptional, we had the wine pairing too which was most interesting. We were lucky enough to sit at the pastry table where we got to interact with the staff and watch them work their magic. We were looked after like royalty, the whole team there should be congratulated for their attentiveness, nothing is too much for them. Would highly recommend a visit here. Well done to all.
First time visiting with friends and by far exceeded our expectations with the attention to detail and professionalism of the staff being first rate. Food was incredible as was the wine choice having opted for the 10 course wine and food taster menus.Well worth the money as will always remember the experience which puts food preparation on a whole new level !
There is very little that can be said about this restaurant that hasn't already been said 100 times. Suffice to say everything is fantastic, it is expensive but that high-price is fully justified. Food - Every plate is carefully crafted with love and thought. The layers of flavour and mixture of classic and new combinations lead to a thrill for your tastebuds on every plate. Like with every tasting menu there are ups and downs. Wollaton Hall, a new venison and truffle dish was outstanding - whilst the devine sounding Partridge Ragu, whilst lovely, was not on a par with the rest of the menu, but had I recieved this at a nice Italian in town I would be happy. Service - Excellent. Despite a tiny mixup with a drinks order which can always happen every part of the service throughout was sublime. Attentive but not overbearing - many restaurants could learn from this young and friendly group. It even gave the restaurant a 'family' feel which is always a plus. Environment - Despite being in the shadow of an overpass and down a quiet lane (you would swear you were not on the right road were it not for the helpful signs) everything is just lovely. The decor is warm and inviting and just adds to your meal. All in all there is nothing I would change, and one day when the bank balance allows I will return.

Oh my goodness, there’s not enough good words I can use to describe this restaurant. My partner and I booked a ten course meal for Valentine’s Day, we were drawn to sat bains years ago when we saw him on masterchef. Him being a Sikh chef from derby, we were eager to try his food. All ten dishes were fantastic. From the moment we walked in, to the service at our table. We asked our waitress if sat bains was in and she said he was but extremely busy and if he had time he would come and say hello. After our 8th course we got asked if we would like to go and meet sat and his kitchen staff and have a tour of the kitchen. He were so overwhelmed that we got the chance to go into a Michelin star kitchen. He was sooo nice, spoke to us for a few minutes, took a picture with him and signed a menu for us. We didn’t want to keep him for too long as we knew he was very busy so for him to take the time out to meet us, we were so grateful. The rest of the team were so attentive, from the waitress explaining each dish, to the front of house staff who took our coats. Everybody acknowledge us. Would definitely go back. Thanks sat and team... Mandy and jay xx
