Sat Bans is a wonderful place to enjoy some really imaginative and creative food. The choice between the 7 and 10 course tasting menu is good. If you are veggie you should tell them when you book. It's a perfect place for couples, with a lovely conservatory dining area. The whole place is spick and span. It's quirky location just... More

Not easy to find and not the prettiest post code in Nottingham but almost certainly the best food, accommodation and service. You need to book well in advance (see web site) and the menu is set. Amazing wine list including a sparkling sake! Do make use of the bed and breakfast arrangements to fully enjoy the total experience. Service is... More

We took our operations manager and her husband out to celebrate at Sat Bains and had a truly wonderful evening. We went for the chef's table - which put us in the pastry kitchen among the chefs who were friendly, fun and courteous, whilst staying focused on producing beautiful desserts. Sitting in a row in the middle of a kitchen... More

Last night my wife and I went visited this restaurant as a birthday treat having always said how much we would like to sample food of this quality after watching various TV shows. The experience did not disappoint. We had the 10 course taster menu and chose this restaurant as my wife is veggie and they offer a veggie taster... More

This is our third visit and everything was excellent. There are now tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms - a good addition. The evening meal was superb, with all of our various food ‘problems’ addressed. Sat offered to sign our copies of the menus, which was a bonus. We shall return (but not too often as it is... More

Our children gave us a voucher for dining here - it was for two of us for birthdays and christmas and was not an insignificant amount of money. We thought we would struggle to use it all in one go - we were wrong! We had an evening out to remember and everything was special. From the moment we arrived... More

Another excellent meal at our most favourite restaurant in the UK the service was as usual fantastic( thanks to Amanda, jade and their team) The food was spectacular and very inventive and there was a real buzz about the place on an extremely busy Wednesday night? A visit to Sat's is .Always a memorable experience

My wife and I have been here many times. We really loved it years ago when it was a one star Restuarant. Gradually though we enjoyed it less, especially about two years ago when we had our most dissatisfied experience. This time however, it was much better. We had the seven course menu and in some respects it surpassed our... More

Wow. Worth both the pilgrimage and the price. We had the ten course tasting menu paired with wines, and there were simply too many phenomenal dishes to recount; so some selected highlights. Duck Muesli - according to the waiter the result of a liquid nitrogen accident - was sensational; crunchy, smooth, fruity and intensely duck-ish all at the same time.... More

In some ways it's very unfair for other restaurants to be reviewed by the same criteria. Enjoying a 10 course tasting menu (which turned out to be 12) of this standard is a very different experience from your typical 3 course meal (even at a good restaurant). This is not about having food to satisfy those hunger pangs - it's... More
