A fabulous experience from start to finish. We were made to feel so welcome by every member of the team!
There were great little surprises during our visit and of course fantastic food.
Such a relaxing atmosphere made even more relaxed with a brilliant room.
Our only criticism would be that the full English breakfast came with crispy streaky bacon rather than 'normal' back bacon.
Truly exceptional service from start to finish alongside fantastically presented and curated food.
The service itself is outstanding with great care and attention to detail in all areas, we visited for a birthday celebration and the extra touches for the occasion really topped off an unforgettable experience.
Onto the food, the overture tasting menu was delightfully rich yet well balanced between courses with incredible seasonal fresh produce. Again, the extra touch of detail in each course added to the sumptuous courses
We had an absolutely exceptional evening at Restaurant Sat Bains.
From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt thoughtful, warm and genuinely special. We were fortunate enough to sit at the chef’s table, which meant we could watch the kitchen at work throughout the evening – an incredible insight into the precision and calm intensity behind every dish.
The tasting menu was outstanding. Each course was beautifully balanced, creative without ever feeling forced, and packed with flavour. Standout moments included the smoked eel, the oxtail agnolotti, and the duck course, though honestly every dish felt like it belonged exactly where it was in the sequence.
What elevated the evening even further was the hospitality. Sat Bains himself served one of the courses and spent time chatting with us, which was a lovely touch. The team then surprised us at the end with a menu signed by the entire kitchen to congratulate us on our anniversary – a gesture that meant a lot and perfectly summed up the generosity of the experience.
I’ve been fortunate enough to dine at many two- and three-Michelin-star restaurants around the world, and this was genuinely one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had.
Yes, it’s a special-occasion restaurant, but the level of creativity, execution and hospitality made it worth every penny.
A huge thank you to the entire team for such a brilliant evening.
Outrageously good and easy to understand why they have Two Stars. We did the RSB Triptych package where we stayed overnight with dinner and breakfast included - it was exceptional. The attention to detail is second to none and every dish we tried (of which there were many!) was glorious. Highly recommend adding on the pizza and champagne experience, it's so worth it.
I generally give fine dining a swerve these days as there are enough good restaurant’s available without the price tag.
Then along one comes and reminds you why these guys are the best at what they do and why these deserve the stars and a visit.
Was a pleasure from start to end. Started with a drink in the garden, then into the restaurant where we had the chef’s table and were served by the man himself and his team.
What an experience. Food 10/10, service 10/10, playlist 10/10.
Stand out course , turbot and the corn dish. We were licking the plate.
Will be back.
