Harden's says
Set in a Georgian former greenhouse close to Bath city centre, this restaurant and bottle shop from an upmarket West Country pub group features modern British cooking from accomplished chef George Barson, who ran the kitchens at Kitty Fisher's and Cora Pearl in London.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This widely fêted newcomer is a “welcome restaurant version” of the nearby Beckford Bottle Shop (see also), set “in a lovely old greenhouse” with “very nicely done décor”. “The food is very good indeed” under highly rated ex-Kitty Fisher’s/Cora Pearl chef George Barson, and has wowed critics including Grace Dent of The Guardian (“a delicious paean to modern British classics and comfort foods”) and Giles Coren of The Times (“staggering beef tongue crumpet”). Top Menu Tip – “the fried pommes Anna are to die for”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Beckford Canteen Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Have loved it here in the past but our meal last night was really not up to scratch. For one the menu hasn't changed a great deal since opening and reallt struggled to find anything I wanted that was different. The waitress happily told us about the turbot special which sounded great, by the time she came to take our orders they had all sold out. This is the second time this has happened to us, they need to accomodate more special orders. Had the plaice with harissa butter and was pretty tasteless to be honest. Want to like it here but it disappoited this time around."
