Nottingham Restaurant With RoomsEstablished 2005 · Two Michelin Stars since 2011

Produce-led. Flavour-driven.
A destination for those who travel for flavour.

For over two decades, Sat and Amanda Bains and their team have built one of Britain’s most distinctive dining destinations, where exceptional cooking, thoughtful hospitality and seven individually designed rooms come together with balance, precision and relaxed confidence.

After winning the Roux Scholarship in 1999, Sat secured the position of Head Chef at the restaurant then known as Hotel des Clos. He became Chef Director in 2001, before Sat and Amanda took over the business in 2005 and renamed it Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms.

Their partnership has shaped every aspect of RSB, combining a shared commitment to hospitality, attention to detail and a belief that genuine experiences are built through consistency rather than spectacle.

While Sat leads the culinary direction, Amanda’s influence can be felt throughout the guest experience, from design and atmosphere to service standards and team development.

Together they continue to guide the restaurant’s evolution while remaining actively involved in its day-to-day life.

Cooking with depth, clarity and intent.

Our menus celebrate dishes developed and refined over more than two decades—signatures from the restaurant’s repertoire alongside seasonal additions.

Industrial edge. Refined comfort.

Individually designed rooms sit around the restaurant and garden, allowing the evening to continue at an unhurried pace—a calm extension of the RSB experience.

Dinner in the restaurant, a peaceful night’s sleep and breakfast the following morning.

Only seven rooms are available each evening.

Wine

Pairings and bottles are designed to sit naturally within the rhythm of the menu—from classic wines and rare bottles to a non-alcoholic progression created to mirror flavour, texture and pace.

Before & After the Table

Begin in the lounge, explore a wine programme built around the menus, see produce from the garden and, if the evening allows, finish in the Cigar Hut.

Lounge Bar

Settle in with a drink before you sit down to eat. The cocktail list is built around the five tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami—each one drawn from a single note, simple in idea but exact in the making.

The Urban Garden

Hidden within the grounds of Restaurant Sat Bains, our urban garden supplies herbs, leaves and seasonal ingredients that appear throughout the menus. Small in scale but significant in influence, it connects the kitchen directly to the seasons.

The Cigar Hut

A final room to round off the evening—fire, whisky, conversation, cigar and digestif. The ideal spot to slow down and reflect once your meal is complete.

Private Dining & Events

Restaurant Sat Bains is a small and personal place, naturally suited to celebrations, private gatherings and business occasions.

A family lunch, milestone birthday, wedding breakfast, client dinner or corporate event can all be considered, with arrangements tailored personally and subject to availability.

Exclusive use may be available, and private lunch service can sometimes be arranged outside our usual opening pattern.
