What's this?

These are confidence labels — 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 — assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list), so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label — a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development — not yet a review; it appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Some restaurants change their menus often, and we cannot always keep pace. Even so, our review stands as a point-in-time assessment — it can help you decide whether to visit, and it sets out the principles of pairing wine here, which should serve you whatever is on the list when you go. If things have moved on, the Vinealto pairing app can give you up-to-date advice on the spot.

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 full assessment — the wine programme, the pairings that lift a plate, and how the room reads for a wine lover — is for subscribers.

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.
