Sat Bains The food and drink scene in and around Nottingham has exploded in recent years and the city now offers an incredible breadth of restaurants and bars, perfectly blending old and new. Among my favourites are the tapas at Bar Iberico in Hockley, the authentic Thai street food at Zaap, cocktails at Tilt and the fabulous craft beers at Junkyard. I also love Boilermaker, a secretive speakeasy, and Botanist, which is a bit further afield in West Bridgford. Meanwhile, you can get wicked chips at John Molnar’s The Cod’s Scallops, and great ale and traditional pub fare at both Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem and The Hand & Heart. Outpost has become my coffee shop of choice, thanks to its exceptional coffee and personal touch. It’s also brilliant to see one of our old chefs, Alex Bond, thriving on Nottingham’s gastronomic scene with his imaginative restaurant Alchemilla.

I’m proud to say that Restaurant Sat Bains has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and we are delighted to have become the first restaurant from the Midlands to be inducted into Les Grandes Tables du Monde, a prestigious international guide featuring the finest restaurants in the world. Our team has continued to grow and we were joined by restaurant manager Jordi Albacar from the legendary three-Michelin-starred Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire. We also introduced a four-day working week; the team has seen the benefit of reducing their hours so there is even more energy and creativity about the place. We fully appreciate that we couldn’t achieve this creativity without the support of our patrons and our fantastic suppliers.

I know that the county and the East Midlands will continue to be recognised for producing some of the greatest food in the world. Professionally, I couldn’t ask for a better larder. Not only do local suppliers produce the best meat, dairy, poultry and game, but we also benefit from a wealth of wild food just steps from our front door. There is much to enjoy in the great region of Nottinghamshire.

My work takes me to every corner of the world, but my wife Amanda and I are at our happiest when at home. We have everything on our doorstep here in Nottingham, from breathtaking scenery to a city steeped in history. It has been thrilling to see the city develop into the thriving place that it is today. Enjoy perusing this 14th annual edition of the Nottinghamshire Food & Drink Guide, take in the delights it showcases and see what our fantastic region has to offer.

MemSaab has been established now for 17 years and has gathered an impressive amount of press attention, being the first restaurant in the East Midlands to have been awarded two AA rosettes for culinary experience. AA Gill wrote that ‘MemSaab Nottingham is amongst the top three best Indian restaurants in the country’, the restaurant features in The Michelin Guide, and was also awarded Runner-Up Best Restaurant in The Observer’s Food Monthly Awards for four years. Nationally, it was crowned The British Curry Awards’ Best Indian Restaurant in the Midlands 2014 and was named Best Indian Restaurant by the Nottingham Post for 2016. MemSaab also picked up an award at the Nottingham Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018.

Comfortably accommodating up to 180 diners, MemSaab is the perfect setting for all occasions, and set menus are available for parties of eight or more. The interior, with its combination of traditional Indian craftsmanship and modern Indian art, captures the essence of India while placing MemSaab firmly in the 21st century.

While the elegant decor, varied menus and rave reviews suggest an accomplished fine dining experience, what the wonderful team at MemSaab delivers is much, much more. Authentic, beautiful Indian food is served with genuine passion and style in a delightfully unique, relaxed setting.

‘...authentic, beautiful Indian food is served with genuine passion and style...’

The à la carte menu features a range of dishes, from traditional curries and barbecued meats to lighter options of orange and avocado salad and delicately spiced salmon tikka.

With prices from £5.25 to £21.95, there’s something for every preference and budget.

On our visit, the gorgeous presentation of the starters matched the exquisitely balanced flavours, and our mains were no less spectacular. Amita Sawhney, owner of MemSaab, is always on-hand to recommend dishes. Dining here really is an occasion – a rich and sensory experience – with a buzzing atmosphere and seamless service.

For a group dining experience, the Kitchen Table offers unrivalled insight into the minds of the chefs and allows you to get a front-row seat to watch dishes come together. *£40 represents the cost of the five-course set menu; £65 represents the cost of the ten-course set menu.

Characterised by its outstanding seasonal fare, well-drafted list of Old and New World wine, inspired cocktail menu and informative yet unobtrusive service, Tom Browns is a rural brasserie that leaves a lasting and eminently favourable impression on all who visit.

£20 to

£30

Inside, elegant decor and contemporary furnishings blend seamlessly, creating a smart, well-appointed space for all manner of functions, from intimate tables for two and small group bookings, to dining en masse for wedding breakfasts or corporate events. Outside, a well-tended dining terrace offers stunning riverside views throughout the year, with warm blankets and fire pits helping to ward off the chill in cooler months.

‘...deserves its place among the best eateries...’

Tom Browns’ menus are innovative and always make use of the season’s best produce. Think superb starters of crispy beef and Oriental vegetable salad with cashews, pomegranate and spring onion, and whipped goat’s cheese with mulled wine poached pear and walnut salad. Equally delectable, a typical main-course offering might include braised blade of beef with creamy mash, caramelised shallots, celeriac purée, mushrooms, green beans and jus, or pan-fried sea bass fillets enhanced by red pepper relish, potato croquettes, courgettes, and saffron aioli. A range of stunning chargrilled steaks are cooked to your liking and served with the vegetables of the day, sautéed mushrooms, and your choice of truffle and Parmesan fries or chunky chips.

Those with a sweet-tooth will adore the seasonal selection of desserts, while the rest of us tuck into Tom Browns’ three cheese board, served with caramelised red onion chutney, mixed grapes, celery, and wheat crackers. If you’re craving something sweet but don’t have room for a whole dessert, why not plump for the chef’s beautiful petits fours accompanied by a cup of locally roasted coffee?

The brasserie’s exceptional fare and obliging service has been recognised by The Michelin Guide and has also been awarded two AA rosettes. Tom Browns thoroughly deserves its place among the best eateries in the region.

No

Amores of Nottingham has established itself as a firm favourite among diners seeking true comfort food and outstanding service. Following the popularity of the original venue in Beeston, the team behind Amores opened a second site in Carlton, which boasts the same warm welcome, friendly and accommodating staff and outstanding Italian cuisine that made the Beeston restaurant such a success.

£16 to

£35

The restaurants feature bright and spacious dining areas that are perfect for any occasion, be it a romantic dinner for two, a midweek family meal or a business function. The bar area is ideal for those wanting to socialise with a drink or two before moving to their table, and you’ll find a tipple that takes your fancy whenever you visit.

‘…spoilt for choice…’

The kitchen team is well known for its flair and passion, serving up a range of risotto, pasta, salad, pizza and more. You might like to start with fresh avocado served with succulent Norwegian prawns delicately dressed in Marie Rose sauce, or perhaps the delectable Carpaccio, which is served with a sprinkle of Parmesan and rocket salad. For something a little heartier, plump for a starter of oven-baked garlic mushrooms, or a helping of traditional homemade meatballs in red wine and tomato sauce – is there a more perfect Italian starter?

If you’re dining in the authentic Italian way, you’ll move to the pasta course next, perhaps plumping for the likes of fettucine in a creamy sauce with salmon and asparagus spears. If you prefer risotto to pasta, there’s plenty to choose from at Amores, whether you fancy meat, fish or something vegetarian.

For meat and fish, you’re simply spoilt for choice. Amores uses beef that’s been hung for 21 days to mature, so you know you’re in for a treat if you opt for one of the delectable steak dishes.

The friendly staff and bright interiors create a naturally warm atmosphere, encouraging diners to stay awhile and revisit often. Promising a jovial evening for all, Amores is ideal for intimate gatherings with friends and offers the chance to catch up with loved ones.

Be inspired as you watch the skilled chefs create delicacies in the open kitchen while you relax in the rustic dining area with a glass of wine.

La Capanna is a taverna-style Italian restaurant offering a haven of calm amid the surrounding hustle and bustle of busy Mansfield Road. What it delivers on the inside, along with charm and warmth, is classic Italian fare, about which the staff are clearly passionate.

£15 to

£25

Open: Mon-Sat 5.45pm-10.30pm; Sun 5.45pm-10pm

There is a wide range of vegetarian dishes on offer – the starters we enjoyed of sundried tomato and olive bruschetta and artichoke hearts sautéed with tomato and garlic are two tasty examples. The chefs are delightfully flexible when it comes to the menu; my companion, who is dairy intolerant, was assured she could choose any dish and it would be altered especially for her. She was subsequently enthusing over her sumptuous dish of steak with red wine and mushroom sauce long after it had been cleared away. My monkfish with prawns, tomatoes and white wine sauce was bursting with flavour and, like the steak, was accompanied by well-seasoned rosemary potatoes and vegetables.

For dessert, I was treated to a trio of the house specials; the tiramisu in particular was deliciously light and melted on the tongue. All this, along with a bottle of delectable red wine, resulted in a very reasonable bill. La Capanna’s authenticity and distinct character makes it a wonderful little rustic Italian hideaway.

Pan Asian

Chino Latino  Location Park Plaza Nottingham, 41 Maid Marian Way, Nottingham, NG1 6GD t: 0844 625 7259 w: www.chinolatino.eu

No

As we entered the centrally located Chino Latino, we were impressed with the stylish interior, which combined with the aroma of freshly cooked delicacies for a stellar first impression. Anticipating the difficult choice ahead, we got stuck straight into the extensive menu and began to whittle the list down to a few irresistible treasures. The kitchen team’s fusion of pan Asian flavours and ingredients with Latin American flair makes for a perfect dining experience, whether it’s for a special dinner à deux or a group celebration, for which we recommend the chef’s table experience.

£20 to

£30

Sushi and sashimi are among Chino Latino’s specialities, and are perfect as starters or mains. The variety of sushi on offer appeals to a wide range of tastes; it’s expertly prepared and artfully presented. Surf and turf rolls with shrimp and sirloin, and the tiger maki comprising prawns and crabmeat were particular highlights during our visit. The blow-torched salmon roll with avocado and cucumber is enhanced by jalapeño mayonnaise, bringing an unexpected dash of Latin American flavour to the subtle umami of Japanese cuisine.

Following my sushi starter, I sampled the sirloin steak, which comes on a hot rock and continues to cook at your table for an added layer of theatre and anticipation. The steak cooks slowly, evenly and exactly to your liking, and comes with a soy marinade that you can subtly drizzle or douse your steak in – it’s the perfect meal for those who like their steak just so.

A variety of alternatives – from duck breast and Korean pork belly to black cod and seared salmon – had us planning a return visit before our starters had even arrived.

Food Served: Mon-Thurs noon-10pm; Fri noon-10.30pm; Sat 5pm-10.30pm

Nottinghamshire Guide 2019

Attentive and informative staff are always on-hand to answer your queries and talk diners through the menu. We were particularly keen to get their opinion on a wine pairing, as we never know what tipple to enjoy with Japanese cuisine.

In our instance, our server’s recommendation was a light and subtle French red, which naturally complemented the soy-glazed sirloin and brought out the smoky flavours of the salmon. The meal ended with fragrant lemongrass panna cotta finished with strawberry gel, finely sliced dried strawberry petals and strawberry sorbet. What a perfect way to round off such a feast.

Alex Bond – Alchemilla – Pg 5

Chef Profile

Having worked in Michelin-starred kitchens since the age of 19, it was almost inevitable that Alex Bond would go on to open his own restaurant. With an impressive working record that includes positions at Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham, 42 The Call in Leeds, and Auberge du Lac in Hertfordshire, Alex has already earned a great reputation in the industry, and tables at Alchemilla have been highly sought after since its opening in August 2017.

‘...distinctive style and abundant flair...’

As an avid gardener, he brings a unique perspective to the kitchen that allows him to use vegetables and plants in creative ways, bringing them to the forefront of each meal. His food is clean, fresh, and modern with vibrant colours and exciting flavour combinations. His menus are ambitious and are carefully crafted to let the flavour of each ingredient shine through. With such distinctive style and abundant flair, we’re excited to see what the future holds for Alex and the team.

James Westwood – The Reindeer – Pg 20

Chef Profile

James earned his stripes working in award-winning establishments. With over eight years’ experience in top kitchens, including that of then AA-rosette-awarded Priory Bay Hotel, James was a natural fit for the role of head chef at The Reindeer.

Prior to cheffing, James worked on an organic farm – this experience instilled in him a passion for seasonality and local produce, and a love of farmers’ markets. It’s clear from James’ crowd-pleasing food that his background has been influential, and his ambition knows no bounds.

‘...perfected his craft and elevated the service...’

Having now taken ownership of the pub as well as running the kitchen, James has perfected his craft and elevated the service to that of a top restaurant, while maintaining the pub’s unpretentious feel. In the coming year James hopes to be awarded a coveted AA rosette and further establish The Reindeer as a top dining destination in the locality and wider region.
