What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed Benedicts in July 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

Benedicts is a Michelin-listed modern British restaurant in Norwich with a small but impeccably-current and thoughtfully-chosen wine list, offered by the glass and the half-carafe with proper pairing flights. The wine programme achieves real mutual elevation through the sommelier's pairings (a hand-selected sherry against the salmon roe, a flight to carry the tasting menu), held back only by a small cellar and the absence of any dessert wine or Port for the cheese and puddings. It will most reward the diner who wants a sommelier to lead them, a glass or a flight at a time, through refined seasonal cooking.

The Last Wine Bar and Restaurant

Norwich, Norfolk

Wine bar and modern British restaurant

The Last Wine Bar and Restaurant is a wine bar and two-AA-Rosette kitchen in Norwich with one of the most complete by-the-glass programmes in the guide, deep in fine wine and finished with a full run of dessert wines and Ports by the small glass. The wine offer achieves genuine mutual elevation (a characterful, conviction-led cellar that answers every hard plate by the glass and prints a Port pairing against the cheese) with real vintage depth and a curious, wide-ranging buy. It will most reward the wine lover who wants a serious cellar and a great by-the-glass list to explore, a glass at a time, over refined seasonal cooking.
