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”.

  • 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.
