The pub has an oak stool lined bar that is stocked with local ales, a restaurant serving unpretentious, seasonal food, a sun-filled terrace for the summer months, a homely library for intimate gatherings, a sitting room with roaring fires and deep antique chairs, eight characterful bedrooms, two luxurious lodges and a unique stay within The Arch at Fonthill Estate.

Harry

/ Landlord

For Harry, hospitality is a way of life. Growing up in Spain, he learnt the importance of breaking bread with loved ones. Starting in the industry at 14, and previously running two of his very own restaurants, he is now the cool, calm, collected head that nurtures the Beckford Familia.

Jack

/ Reservations

A total joy to be around, and a true countryman, Jack is the perfect person to look after your time with us. From answering the phone to saying goodbye, he will ensure you leave with the best memories possible. After work, you'll find him in the bar, pint in hand, alongside the other locals and his dog Wesley.

Tracy

/ Housekeeper

Stalwart of the Beckford Arms, Tracy is our beloved Head Housekeeper. Having been part of the team for seven years, her attention to detail is unrivalled. In her spare time, you'll find Tracy baring all for the worthy cause of pancreatic cancer, and knitting lovely knick-knacks.

Rob

/ Barman

Always chatting away to guests and keeping the tipples topped up - Rob is our friendly barman that everyone loves to see. A proper local, he can often be found enjoying a well-deserved pint at our sister pub, The Bath Arms Inn. When he’s not behind the bar, he’s busy building his own home - brick by brick, pint by pint.

Molly

/ Manager

A friendly face with a heart of gold, Molly is our lovely Floor Manager. When she's not flower arranging, making the perfect coffee, or doing her best for our wonderful guests, you'll find her photographing the Beckford Arms as our creative Social Media Champion.

/ Head Chef

With a passion for local ingredients and a respect for the classics, our Head JP keeps our menu fresh and full of beloved dishes. Previously, JP has earned rosettes in pastry and now leads a talented team in the Beckford kitchen, all while nurturing the next generation of chefs. When he's not in the kitchen, he loves spending time with his family in the Wiltshire countryside.

Calum

/ Assistant General Manager

Calum is our trusty Assistant General Manager, keeping the team on top form and our taps nice and local - he’s always happy to chat all things beer and whisky and never one to turn down a good pint himself. When he’s not leading from the front, you’ll find him walking his two dogs through the local countryside or playing a spot of cricket.

Ellie

/ Manager

A country girl at heart, Ellie spent seven years working with dressage horses before deciding it was time for a new challenge. Inspired by her brother’s hospitality tales, she swapped stables for service and now loves nothing more than seeing guests have a good time. When she’s not at the pub, you'll find her walking her Spaniel, Lulu, followed by a chocolate pudding and a well-earned G&T.
