Beer Garden in Gloucester | Oakwood Hotel

A Beer Garden in Gloucester Worth Seeking Out

Good weather doesn’t come around often enough to waste it indoors. On the edge of Gloucester in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel’s Terrace offers a proper outdoor space to enjoy a drink — long summer evenings, a relaxed pint after work, or a lazy afternoon that doesn’t need to be spent in a crowded city-centre beer garden.

If you’re after a beer garden in Gloucester that’s easy to get to and genuinely pleasant to sit in, The Terrace is built for exactly that.

What The Terrace Offers

The Terrace sits alongside our other spaces as part of the wider Oakwood experience — somewhere to enjoy a drink outdoors without the noise and crowding that comes with a lot of city-centre options. Whether it’s a quiet pint on your own, a relaxed evening with friends, or a spot to unwind after visiting the area, The Terrace gives you room to actually sit and enjoy it.

Drinks and food from The Pub are available to enjoy outside, so it works as well for a full evening as it does a quick drink in passing.

Why Choose Oakwood’s Terrace Over Central Gloucester

A few reasons locals and visitors choose Oakwood specifically:

• Peaceful setting. On the edge of the city, away from the noise of central Gloucester on a busy evening.
• Easy access and parking. On-site parking, without hunting for a space near a packed city-centre pub.
• Room to relax. Genuine outdoor seating rather than a crowded pavement spot.
• Good food and drink alongside it, from The Pub’s full menu.

Make an Evening of It

For anyone travelling from further afield, rooms are available if you’d rather stay the night than drive home after an evening outdoors. Combining a stay with a relaxed evening on The Terrace makes for an easy, unhurried trip out.
