Third post of the day and I'm on a roll. Just have to report on a STUPENDOUS gastronomic experience I had in Nottingham last week to celebrate one year of being engaged (and I suppose to celebrate not being able to afford a wedding).
For any serious foodies out there Restaurant Sat Bains http://www.restaurantsatbains.com/ turned out to be one of the best places we have eaten at in this country. We opted for the ten course tasting menu (with the wine pairing...if you going to do something might as well do it properly) three hours later we emerged from the dining room, happier, possibly heavier and definitely a little drunk.
For us the menu started and ended on a high. The delicious Scallop dish; pan seared scallop with a perfectly cooked oblong of squash and a chorizo 'jam', was perfected with a cumin puree (at least I think that is what it was). The Blueberries dish, the one I was least looking forward to, was the only dish that we both rated as 10/10. All the desserts were magnificent in my opinion and if you love food it is the perfect night away. We stayed in the rooms at the restaurant all decorated to a high spec (our room included a jacuzzi bath and lounge area) and it is so lovely after eating and drinking so much that you only have to travel a few yards back to your room.
