Our relaxed pub is the perfect environment for long lunches, sumptuous suppers and extends into our sun-filled courtyard and gardens throughout the warmer months. Our talented chefs are committed to utilising the abundance of seasonal produce surrounding The Talbot. Meat and game from local farms, fish from the Cornwall coast and fresh leaves picked just a few steps away in The Talbot Kitchen Garden. For those looking for something a little lighter after a walk in the country, the bar is also kept well-stocked with delicious snacks that are available throughout the day. Please note, lunch is served from 12pm-3pm on weekdays, and our Sunday menu is available at lunchtime only, from 12pm-4pm. In the evening, we return to our normal supper menu with serves ending at 9pm.

Walter Rose and Son was founded in 1847 by the Cook family, who have been in the butchery business for four generations. Brothers Jack and Charlie Cook practise tradition and provenance, taking huge pride in their craft. We are lucky to have them just a short drive from The Beckford, where livestock are free to graze in the Wiltshire countryside.
“Butchery is in our blood. For generations, we've partnered with farmers who are more than suppliers—they're our friends. They understand our high standards for meat quality, consistency, and the ethics that define our work.”

The Longman family have a wealth of experience and a unique understanding of delicious dairy. The Longman’s are based just across in the Vale of Camelot and have been there for over two centuries. Their commitment to farming and cheese making has won them countless industry awards, a list of prestigious stockists and a superior product that we are proud to have on our menu.
“We have been supplying the pub directly from the very beginning. Working in this way allows us to deliver the very best cheese using 200 years of cheese making experience, it also gives us an excuse to stay for lunch”

Over a decade ago, Hugo sparked a trout revival, recognizing the unique qualities of trout raised on the Test and Itchen farms. Since then, ChalkStream has been producing sustainably farmed trout, grown slowly over two years to ensure lean, healthy, low-fat fish. The pristine waters of the Test and Itchen rivers, combined with the farmers' skill and care, result in trout with a remarkably clean taste.
“We have been supplying The Beckford Arms from the very start of our ChalkStream journey and we feel very proud and honoured to see a delicious local fish on such an amazing menu.”
Hugo / Founder
