Harden's survey result
Summary
This “interesting restaurant set in a bottle shop” (est. 2015) is part of the Beckford group, which runs four SW England inns, and – as of December 2022 – Bath’s Beckford Canteen, set in a Georgian greenhouse. The “tapas-style food” is “very moreish” and there’s unsurprisingly a “good, reasonably priced wine list” to go with it, making it “very popular” and “deservedly so”.
Summary
“Delicious small plates and a great wine list make this a real treat” – as the name suggests, it is primarily a vintner’s with “excellent wine served by knowledgeable and charming staff”, but “the tapas-style food is great”, with “interesting seasonal-inspired small plates” full of “punchy flavours”. Top Tip – “a steal on a Monday when you can choose any wine from the shop at retail and enjoy it with your meal”.
Summary
A “lovely” three-year-old where you dine “surrounded by beautiful bottles of wine that the owners handpick to go with the small plates” of modern British food, cheese and charcuterie. “The wine list (250+ options) is amazing and the staff are clearly passionate about it”, with some “really unusual choices” on offer.
Summary
“A new addition to Bath’s wine bar and food scene” (and sibling to the Tisbury original) which opened in late 2018, and serves “interesting small plates” – modern British fare, plus cheese and charcuterie – alongside a “great wine selection” including over 250 bottles.

The Beckford Bottle Shop Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We love it here, delicious small plates and an interesting and good value wine list. Really nice atmosphere too, in summer it's an absolute sun trap to sit outside under the awnings. In winter it's cosy and candlelit. the zucchini friti are a favorite."
"Great place to sit outside in good weather and watch the world go by. Good winelist and delicious small plate menu with changing specials to tempt. Cooking is excellent and friendly service too."
