Peter Harden, co-founder of the guide, added:

Sat Bains has been a leader of the national restaurant scene for more than a decade now, and his lockdown curry service is a superb example of the resilience and creativity demanded of the sector to survive the pandemic – qualities the best restaurants still need as we emerge from this national trauma.

Congratulations to Sat, Amanda and all the other excellent establishments who made this year’s coveted top 100
