“ Had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Benedicts in Norwich with my wife. We went for the three-course set lunch, and wow—it was amazing from start to finish! The absolute star of the meal was Cod main. Just incredible. The wine selection was spot on, with plenty to choose from, and the staff? Next-level brilliant. Super friendly, attentive, and really knew their stuff. It’s always nice when service is this good. Every dish was explained to us upon delivery. If you're in Norwich and fancy a meal that feels special but still totally relaxed, Benedicts is 100% worth it! ”

“ A truly wonderful experience. I couldn't find fault with anything. We were so well looked after and the food was amazing. The wine and drinks selection was also spot on. Loved the descriptions and when one of the chefs delivered a dish to our table. The enthusiasm and skill on display was brilliant. Thank you so much Benedicts. ”
“ Absolutely delicious food. We all had a lunch set menu which was divine. It was my mum‘s birthday and they prepared a beautiful little card and dessert for her. The service was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is relaxed and chatty rather than stiff which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend. ”
“ A great dining experience in Norwich. Got the booking easily when we had gone during the day around city centre. Great atmosphere, delicious food, courteous staff. One of the best English cuisine we have ever had. Definitely worth visiting in Norwich. ”
“ To wrap up my girlfriend’s 30th, we went to Benedicts, and it honestly blew us away. We had the 9-course tasting menu, and every dish was a standout. Beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly well thought out, each course flowed nicely into the next. The staff were brilliant too. Friendly, professional, and never overbearing, they really helped make the night special. Meant to write this review a while back, it’s been some time now, we still think about that meal every now and then, and plan to go back soon. ”
“ My oh my, what a first class establishment we are blessed to have in Norwich! The service was exemplary as staff knew the answer to every question we asked. They handled my allergy with professionalism and zero fuss. And all so young, a real asset to the team here. We really liked the option of picking the paired wines by the glass, as some people don't want the full flight. Now how to describe the food... imaginative, delicious, quality, beautiful. We are still talking about it a week later. A must visit for a special occasion. ”
