The stars of Nottingham's culinary scene have been named the best in the UK. The National Restaurant Awards, listing the creme de la creme, across the nation, have honoured Restaurant Sat Bains and Alchemilla.
Alchemilla, in Derby Road, ranks in 22nd place in the top 100. The restaurant, headed up by Alex Bond, issued a 'use us or lose us plea' back in April, proving no matter what the status, no restaurant is immune from the current economic crisis.
Major changes were made, axing the seven and ten-course tasting menus to serve five courses, after being forced to cut the workforce. The restaurant was also voted the 13th best in the UK by restaurant guide Square Meal in January.
