Year-round greenhouse chic is a thing at Beckford Canteen - Review - Bath - The Infatuation

"Beckford Canteen is a bright, airy, well-behaved restaurant with a wall display of emerald green plates that will speak to anyone who can’t keep their spider plant alive. You’ll feel new-money-sophisticated eating at this City Centre spot as perfectly executed modern European dishes like day boat fish arrive on the kind of ivy-patterned plates we recognise from our nan’s ‘for best’ cabinet. But it’s not so fancy that they won’t whip you up an off-menu Irish coffee if you ask nicely." - Sinéad Cranna

"A former Georgian greenhouse has been transformed into this light, airy restaurant with whitewashed walls, a vaulted ceiling and a feature wall decorated with over 90 green plates. The concise all-day menu comprises a range of sharply executed dishes that showcase the kitchen’s ability to hold back and let their quality produce do the talking – such as the megrim sole with Café de Paris butter. Window counter seats are held back for walk-ins and it’s worth buying some wine from their sister operation, Beckford Bottle Shop, which you can enjoy with your meal for a generous corkage. Service is smooth and attentive." - Michelin Inspector

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!

Dinner wasn't hot the meat portion is an absolute joke crazy prices for drinks.. Building is outstanding ...we took the service off as i thought the cost of the food was crazy already wasn't to do with service that was great

We came for Sunday roast. We chose the beef. An interesting cut beautifully served with vegetables , all enhanced, and delicious. Service polite and charming. Music measured. And a lovely setting. There is a pretty courtyard garden.
