While Infocom didn't release games for the BBC, it turns out they did have an unreleased interpreter viewtopic.php?p=408727#p408727. Further down that thread I did package the games mentioned in an Infocom memorandum with this interpreter (lightly fixed) so you can play some Infocom games on a "what if Infocom had released games for the BBC basis". Due to lack of memory, these will be painfully slow because of excessive swapping in from disk. I'm no longer working on doing anything further with this interpreter for, well, reasons. Realistically Ozmoo is the way to play Infocom and modern z-code .z3 and .z5 games on the BBC. In particular, games written using the modern PunyInform library will work well. These also have an Infocom-like parser. However, these are not specifically written for the BBC, so that may not be quite what you're looking for.
I've no specific recommendations, I'll leave that for others to supply.
