Timeline

1971

Satwant Singh "Sat" Bains (born 28 February 1971) is an English chef best known for being chef proprietor of the two-Michelin star Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms in Nottingham, England.

Satwant Bains was born on 28 February 1971 in Derby, England.

His parents were Sikhs who had only recently migrated to the UK from India.

Throughout his childhood, Bains's father owned a number of shops, resulting in Sat's first job as a paperboy.

His mother was a housewife, and cooked mostly vegetarian meals, although would occasionally cook keema on a Saturday.

Bains would later recall that he wasn't interested in learning how to cook during his childhood.

At the age of 18, he attended the Wilmorton site of Derby College, reportedly only joining the catering course because it had the most girls on it.

He passed the course, earning a City & Guilds qualification.

He began to work at a restaurant under Mick Murphy, who he later described as an inspiration due to the passion that Murphy had for food.

He discovered the work of Marco Pierre White, and read the White Heat cookbook.

He would later explain that he read the entire book in three and a half hours, describing it as "iconic".

This inspired Bains to strive for something better and he sent off CVs to better-quality restaurants than the one he was working in.

One of the chefs that sent him a rejection letter was John Burton Race.

1996

Raymond Blanc hired Bains as one of eighteen staff members for the opening of the first Le Petit Blanc in Oxford in 1996.

Bains later recalled that within six months of opening, there were only ten staff members left.

He moved on to work at the London-based L'Escargot for 3 months and then returned to Nottingham.

1999

He won the Roux Scholarship in 1999, and worked in France, before returning to the UK and opening his own restaurant.

Whilst in Nottingham in 1999, he applied for the Roux Scholarship.

Between the regional and national round, the restaurant he was working at closed, leaving him unemployed.

In the final round he felt as if he were the underdog, and particularly remembers the chef from Gordon Ramsay's Aubergine competing.

Bains won the competition, enabling him to travel to France to work at the three Michelin starred Le Jardin des Sens.

He worked alongside another chef in training, René Redzepi.

While in the south of France, he also chose to visit El Bulli in Spain.

2002

He became head chef at the Hotel des Clos in Nottingham, which was relaunched as Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms in November 2002.

Bains sent one of his sous chefs to Denmark to help his former colleague Redzepi open his restaurant Noma during the same year.

2003

Restaurant Sat Bains was awarded a Michelin star in 2003 becoming the first restaurant in Nottingham to win a star.

2007

Bains was also one of the winners on the BBC show Great British Menu in 2007.

After originally declining the chance, he appeared as one of the competitors on the 2007 Great British Menu where fourteen chefs battled it out to win the chance to cook at a four-course banquet hosted by the British ambassador to France.

He won the Midlands and the East heat beating the previous year's winner, Galton Blackiston from Norfolk.

In the final round, Bains' starter of egg, ham, and peas was adjudged the best amongst the seven finalists with three perfect 10 scores from the three judges.

Bains went on to add the dish to his menu at Restaurant Sat Bains.

Bains credited his appearance on the show for an upturn in sales and a solid booking of the restaurant for the following ten months.

He has also made appearances on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen and UKTV's Market Kitchen.

2011

The restaurant's Michelin star rating was increased to two stars in 2011, which food critic Jay Rayner said was overdue and the length of time taken to give Bains his second star undermined Michelin's authority.

The restaurant has also been awarded five rosettes by the AA.

2012

During the summer of 2012, Bains took a turn in being head chef at a popup restaurant on top of the Southbank Centre in London.

"The Cube" also featured other chefs such as Tom Kitchin and Daniel Clifford.

Bains appeared in the 2012 PBS series Mind of a Chef with David Chang.

In his segment during the final episode of that series, Bains comments on the appearance of his smoked onion aioli, "you know it's going to be aggressive because it's black."

2015

Bains was crowned with the coveted Chef Award at the 2015 The Catey Awards.
