About Sat Bains
When Sat Bains opened Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham he knew that he wanted to create a feeling of place and one of welcoming conviviality that radiated from the plate. He wanted to give the very best of Britain, with a strong sense of where the restaurant is located – England’s East Midlands.
Sat's use of quality British produce and a passion for seasonality are matched only by his ceaseless creativity and the sheer drive that have sprinkled his career with numerous awards and accolades. From winning the Roux scholarship in 1999, to being awarded 2 Michelin stars in the Michelin Guide, his Nottingham restaurant has been recognised by fellow chefs and food writers from all over the world for his innovative style of cuisine.
Sat has long championed the use of local suppliers and selected artisan producers, and has showcased this to remarkable effect on the international gastronomic stage, including demonstrating his dishes at congresses in New York, Paris, Milan, Singapore and Melbourne, and being invited by the Japanese Culinary Academy as a guest to their workshop in Kyoto.
