A Proper Outdoor Dining Space

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and The Terrace provides a genuine outdoor dining space set within the peaceful surroundings of the hotel’s outskirts location.

Food Built for Outdoor Dining

Our outdoor menu draws on the same quality Gloucestershire produce found throughout Oakwood’s dining offering, with dishes well suited to eating outdoors — lighter options for a warm afternoon, alongside heartier dishes for guests wanting something more substantial. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, a relaxed dinner, or simply drinks and something light to share, The Terrace accommodates a range of dining styles.

We’re happy to accommodate dietary requirements, so if you or your group have specific needs, simply let us know when booking and our kitchen will make sure The Terrace menu works for everyone.

A Relaxed Setting for Any Occasion

Outdoor dining suits all sorts of visits, from a quiet solo lunch to a larger group gathering enjoying the good weather together. The peaceful setting of Oakwood’s grounds makes The Terrace a particularly pleasant spot for a relaxed catch-up with friends, a family meal, or simply a change of scenery from indoor dining. During warmer months, The Terrace also comes into play for some of our seasonal events, offering guests the option to enjoy occasions such as hen parties or graduation celebrations outdoors when the weather allows.

Ideal for Groups and Celebrations

The Terrace works particularly well for larger groups wanting to make the most of good weather together, whether that’s a family gathering, a celebratory lunch, or a relaxed group dinner. For larger bookings or specific requests around outdoor dining, our occasions and events team can help arrange suitable seating and menu options in advance.

Weather-Dependent, So Check Ahead

As with any outdoor dining space, availability on The Terrace depends on the weather, so we’d recommend checking with us ahead of your visit, particularly if outdoor dining is a specific priority for your booking.
