    What a place! Its so rare that a place hits ever nail on the head. Service was outstanding. We were celebrating and the staff were generous with time and gifts from the kitchen. The menu was explained well staff had good knowledge of the wine. Now the food, every single course was outstanding. The rarebit is frankly genius and deserved a whole review of its own. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and the fish was melt in the mouth Genuinely couldn’t fault a single thing and would love to dine here again!

    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.
