Summer BBQ Near Longlevens

There’s something about good weather, good food, and being outdoors that makes a summer BBQ hard to beat — and Oakwood Hotel, just a short drive from Longlevens, is set up to deliver exactly that. With our Terrace providing the perfect outdoor backdrop and a menu built around quality Gloucestershire produce, our summer BBQ offering is a relaxed, genuinely enjoyable way to make the most of the warmer months.

Making the Most of The Terrace

The Terrace comes into its own during the summer, offering a proper outdoor setting for a relaxed BBQ without needing to worry about firing up a grill at home or clearing away afterwards. It’s a space designed for exactly this kind of occasion — long summer evenings, good company, and food cooked properly, whether you’re joining us for a casual visit or booking as part of a larger group.

Quality Ingredients, Simply Cooked

A good BBQ isn’t about complexity, it’s about quality ingredients cooked with care, and that’s the approach our kitchen takes. Sourced with the same attention to quality that runs through our broader dining menu, our BBQ offering focuses on well-sourced meat and seasonal produce, letting good ingredients do the work rather than relying on heavy sauces or unnecessary extras.

A Setting for Every Kind of Summer Gathering

Our summer BBQ works well for a wide range of occasions — a relaxed family visit, a get-together with friends, or a more organised group booking such as a birthday celebration or a work summer social. For larger groups wanting a dedicated space, it’s worth looking at our occasions and events page, which covers options for private hire and group bookings during the summer season.

Drinks to Match the Occasion

A summer BBQ calls for the right drinks alongside it, and our selection has been put together with the season in mind — from cold beers and ciders to a good range of soft drinks for those not drinking or driving home afterwards. It’s all part of making The Terrace feel like the natural place to spend a warm afternoon or evening.

Easy to Reach, Easy to Enjoy

Being close to Longlevens and easily accessible from the wider Gloucester area, Oakwood Hotel is a convenient choice for a summer BBQ without the hassle of a long drive. Straightforward parking and easy access mean it’s genuinely practical to pop along for an evening BBQ, whether that’s a spontaneous visit or a planned gathering with friends and family.

Booking Ahead for Sunny Days

Good weather tends to bring a rush of last-minute plans, and our BBQ sessions can get busy quickly once the sun comes out. Booking ahead, particularly for group visits, is the best way to guarantee a table on The Terrace during peak summer weekends.
