OUR CONCEPT

Established in 2015, The Beckford Bottle Shop is a contemporary wine merchant with traditional values. Our flagship, in the beautiful city of Bath, has a stylish wine shop and adjoining bistro, featuring tin clad ceilings, sumptuous Chesterfield sofas and a marble countertop window seat.

Chef James Harris and his team create inspired sharing plates utilising the endless bounty of surrounding Somerset produce. Bar snacks are also available throughout the day, the perfect accompaniment to any glass. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Hospitality is at the very core of our philosophy. We are passionate about wine and food, believe in creating environments that are warm, welcoming and put our customers needs first. Whether you are seeking a bottle, a case or to enjoy a glass with some seasonal sharing plates, our aim is to make your experience both enjoyable and memorable.

OUR EXPERTISE

We are incredibly proud of our team. They have a diverse range of experience spanning hospitality, wine shops and beyond. Get to know the faces behind the notepad, wine glass and kitchen door - we love to get to know our customers and spark up a conversation.

“Went here for a cheese board and some wine. Very friendly staff. By day this is a regular wine shop so they have a broad range of bottles where you pay retail + £15 corkage. Leads to better prices for most wines than you’d find elsewhere”.

  • Iss
    General Manager

    Since the age of 14, Iss has been nurturing her love of service and hospitality, growing with the group and previously holding the role of AGM at our sister site, Beckford Canteen.

    Now at the helm of BBS, she brings fresh ideas, infectious enthusiasm and her natural warmth to the Beckford Bottle Shop, leading the team with energy and a genuine passion for great hospitality.

  • Ollie
    Head Chef

    After honing his craft in an AA Rosette kitchen for the past eight years, Ollie now brings his passion for British produce (and a fantastic moustache) to BBS, working alongside a talented team to create dishes that celebrate the South West larder.

    From winter preserves to spring greens and autumn game, his cooking is driven by the seasons, making the most of the finest produce on our doorstep with a collaborative, ingredient-led approach.

  • Ben
    Wine Shop Manager

    Since leaving an Engineering career behind and following his passion for wine, Ben has spent the last four years working in both the independent wine trade and with larger retailers.

    “It was the amazing selection of wines and the chance to work alongside world-class food that drew me to the Beckford Bottle Shop.”

  • Sabrina
    Waiter

    Friendly, fastidious and fabulous. With a keen eye for detail Sabrina will often be found beavering away behind the bar in our Bath Bistro. What she knows about cocktails, is nothing, as we're a wine shop.
