An offshoot of the Beckford Bottle Shop, the Canteen is much more of an explicit restaurant, and does a good general menu and a solid Sunday roast. We went for a Thursday evening dinner and had a great time. The mussel chowder was my favourite, and I would happily have a larger version as a main. I also appreciated the sorbet on the menu, which was a nice way to follow the ox cheek bourguignon main. The service was also great.
Special bonus point for having noise dampening on the ceiling which makes the noise level easy to talk – I have a huge pet peeve with restaurants that end up so loud that it becomes impossible to speak to people at the table, which was not an issue at all.

This place is beyond amazing! Absolutely gorgeous roast. We had the roast beef and roast pork, both amazing! What also took my breathe away were the sides. The cauliflower cheese and confit fried potato were so flavourful that I had tears in my eyes. It is so hard to get a decent roast these days but this place knows what they are doing. They are teaching the wider public what a good, decent roast is. I would travel 2hr30 everyday to have this roast if I must! For £32 to get the roast with all its trimming. Please check the fat on the beef, when it is that colour, you know the beef is excellent, dry aged and sourced in the UK! Desserts; bergamot panna cotta gave a lovely undertones of floral bergamot taste with the bergamot lemon curd and raspberry and the apple torte was a revelation. Love the fact they make a kid roasts too. I cannot wait to come back.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Beckford Canteen. Everything was spot on from start to finish. The roast chicken was perfectly cooked — juicy with crispy skin — and came with all the proper trimmings: rich gravy, seasonal vegetables, and a giant Yorkshire pudding that was light and fluffy inside.
The sides were just as good as the main event. The cauliflower cheese was creamy, indulgent, and topped with just the right amount of cheese. The crispy layered potatoes were absolutely addictive — golden on the outside, soft inside, and perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It felt like the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a proper, elevated Sunday roast in Bath.

Another amazing experience at The Beckford Canteen. Staff are always the right level of attentive, so friendly and knowledgeable about the menus. The decor/ambience inside is perfect – it feels like such a safe, warm space to enjoy your meal. And finally the food really is exceptional. We ate the beetroot and the trout (delicious!) for starter, followed by the venison for main, which I would really recommend. This was our third time returning to eat, and we will certainly be back. A big thank you again to the whole team for a wonderful evening.

Was visiting Bath for 3 days and sadly had lots of bad food (despite the places having good reviews)! So I was very happy to finally find some properly good food. The set lunch menu was very good value. Perfectly cooked piece of fish. Loved the chocolate fondant + cardamom ice cream!!!

Had some disappointing food in Bath despite many good reviews, so we were very pleased after visiting Beckford Canteen.
Really lovely food and a warm and inviting restaurant. Lovely and king wait staff!
Decently priced food for the quality you are getting.
The pumpkin ravioli was very tasty – some of the best pumpkin food I’ve had in Bath this autumn!

Went here for a spontaneous sunday roast and it was the best decision ever. The food was amazing, the location so pretty and nice but the best thing was the service. Everybody was so sweet, kind and went out of their way to give us the best experience ever

Hands down the BEST roast in Bath!
Finally returned to Beckford Canteen to devour their stunning Sunday Roast. Just as good as I remembered it with impeccable food and superb service.
I had the roast pork belly served with greens, cauliflower cheese, confit potato & a Yorkshire pudding. The potatoes are a real showstopper – so light and crispy, a pure delight.
Definitely a top spot in beautiful Bath and worth a visit if you want to celebrate a special occasion.

Gem in Bath, perfect setting for a nice dinner. Very helpful staff and quick service. The specials run out quite quickly so try to go early and order your food. Good cocktails and craft beer. The food is perfectly cooked and served. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Be sure to book at least couple of days in advance.
