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 Brawn in October 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

Brawn is a neighbourhood restaurant on Columbia Road with a daily changing European menu built on salt, bitter leaves, seafood and pork. Its list of about three hundred bottles from small growers, deep in the Jura, the Loire and grower Champagne, gives this cooking a wine for every plate at fair prices. It will most reward adventurous wine lovers who like to explore rare grapes and regions, and anyone happy to start from the daily glass list.

Sager and Wilde

London, East London

Natural wine bar; small plates, charcuterie, cheese, toasties

Sager and Wilde is a Hackney Road wine bar where a deep, personal list of grower and natural wines is the reason to go and a short menu of salty, savoury plates keeps it company. The wine programme answers every plate by the glass, prices fine and mature bottles fairly and opens rare wines by the small glass, with only fortified and sweet wines left thin. It will most reward a curious drinker who wants to explore, by the glass or the bottle.
