Dinner in Gloucester | Oakwood Hotel

A Proper Dinner in Gloucester

Not every good dinner needs to happen in the middle of a busy city centre. On the edge of Gloucester in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel offers a relaxed, properly cooked evening meal — whether you’re staying with us, visiting for a special occasion, or simply looking for somewhere calm to eat well.

If you’re after dinner in Gloucester that feels considered rather than rushed, our dining rooms give you the space to actually enjoy the evening.

Two Places to Eat

The Grill is our main dining room — confident, seasonal cooking built around Gloucestershire produce. It suits a proper sit-down evening meal, whether that’s marking an occasion or simply wanting a good dinner without the fuss. Well-sourced meat, honest sides, and a wine list that doesn’t try too hard.

The Pub is the more relaxed option — hearty food, a good pint, and a comfortable, informal setting. It’s suited to a casual evening out that doesn’t need much planning.

Who Dinner at Oakwood Suits

Our dining works for a wide range of evenings — a relaxed meal for hotel guests, a proper dinner out for locals, a celebration for a special occasion, or a stop for anyone passing through Gloucestershire. It’s also popular with visitors to Cheltenham Racecourse, with tables available for pre- or post-race dining.

Why Choose Oakwood for Dinner

A few reasons guests choose Oakwood specifically:

• A peaceful setting, away from the noise of central Gloucester in the evening.
• Easy, on-site parking, without needing to find a space in the city centre.
• Genuine, produce-led cooking, across both dining spaces.
• Two distinct moods, from a considered sit-down meal to a relaxed pub dinner.

Combine Dinner With a Stay

If you’re staying overnight, dinner is easy to arrange alongside your room booking. For anyone not staying with us, both dining rooms are open to non-resident diners as well.
