I seem to have the same problem. I successfully grew beetroot last year, but this year something has been devouring my beets from the top, though often leaving a small top knot of leaves. My best guess is some kind of rodent - and bigger than a mouse, I think - I guess that leaves sqirrels, rabbits or RATS - or hedgehogs or even badgers.
Gary, did you find ou what was eating your beetroots?

I can see the scrape marks from the teeth / beak.
..we have mice in the garden.. ... how much could mice eat ?
Do woodpigeons eat beetroot? ... what about squirrels... should I suspect that we have rats?
Has anyone else has a similar problem?
Thanks Gary
