Sat Bains
Sat Bains and his wife run Nottingham’s Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms, which in 2003 was awarded the city’s first ever Michelin star.
Sat, who comes from a Punjabi family, was born in Derby and moved to Nottingham when he was 21. He now admits he went to catering college to meet girls, but he found he loved cooking so much he kept doing it.
After passing his City and Guilds qualification, Sat got his big break when he became part of the team helping to open the first of Raymond Blanc’s brasseries, Le Petit Blanc in Oxford in 1996. A spell at L’Escargot followed shortly afterwards, before he returned to Nottingham to take the head chef position at the Martins Arms in Colston Basset.
After working with the restaurant of The Ashbourne Gallery in Derbyshire, Sat won the Roux Scholarship in 1999, which gave him the chance to work at the three Michelin-starred Restaurant Le Jardin des Sens in the south of France. On his return he secured the position of head chef at the Hotel des Clos in Nottingham, which was relaunched and renamed Restaurant Sat Bains at Hotel des Clos in November 2002.
Sat appeared in the second series of Great British Menu in spring 2007 and won the chance to cook the starter at the ambassador's banquet.
Sat is appearing in the 2008 series of Great British Menu, representing the central region
