Nottingham’s only Michelin starred restaurant has been named as the fourth best in the country.

Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms, in Old Lenton Lane, was recognised at Restaurant Magazines National Restaurant Awards.

It was revealed at the ceremony, held at the Hurlingham Club in South West London, that the restaurant had climbed 38 places from last year’s list.

Bains himself was voted the Chef’s Chef of the Year.

He said: “Any restaurant is only as good as the people that make it all happen. We have a superb team in Nottingham and this latest accolade proves the effort and commitment we all put in. On a personal level I am extremely proud to have received this award especially to have such recognition from my fellow chefs.”

The award comes days after the restaurant was awarded the prestigious 5 AA Rosettes by the AA Guide.
