Pub & Grill Near Barnwood

Sometimes you want a proper pub atmosphere, and sometimes you want a well-cooked steak from the grill — at Oakwood Hotel, a short drive from Barnwood, you don’t have to choose between the two. Our Pub & Grill combines the relaxed, welcoming feel of a genuine local pub with the quality and care of a dedicated grill restaurant, all under one roof.

Two Spaces, One Standard of Quality

The Pub at Oakwood is exactly what it should be — a comfortable, unpretentious space for a pint, a casual meal, or catching a game on screen. The Grill, meanwhile, offers a slightly more considered dining experience, with expertly cooked steaks and grill dishes taking centre stage. What ties the two together is a shared commitment to quality, locally sourced produce, so whether you’re ordering a pub classic or a premium cut from the grill, you can expect the same level of care in the kitchen.

A Menu for Every Mood

Our combined Pub & Grill menu gives guests genuine choice. Fancy something hearty and familiar? The Pub side of the menu covers classic pub food done properly. In the mood for something a bit more special? The Grill offers a range of steaks and grill dishes cooked to your preference, alongside seasonal sides and sauces. You can browse the full range on our dining page.

The Right Setting, Whatever the Occasion

Whether you’re popping in after work for a pint and a bar snack, meeting friends for a proper Saturday night steak dinner, or bringing the family for a relaxed Sunday meal, our Pub & Grill setting adapts to the occasion. The atmosphere stays warm and welcoming throughout, without ever feeling too formal for a casual visit or too basic for a proper night out.

Convenient for Barnwood Regulars

Being just a short drive from Barnwood, on the Tewkesbury Road in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel has become a regular destination for locals looking for a reliable pub and restaurant combination without travelling into central Gloucester. On-site parking makes it an easy choice for a spontaneous visit or a planned night out, and for guests wanting to make more of the evening, our comfortable rooms are available.

Why the Combination Works

There’s a reason so many guests end up splitting their visit between the two sides of the menu — a pint and a starter from The Pub before moving on to a steak from The Grill, or the other way around. Having both under one roof means you’re never locked into one style of evening. You can start casual and finish a bit more special, or simply order across both menus depending on what everyone at the table fancies. It removes the usual trade-off between a relaxed pub visit and a proper restaurant meal, letting each guest choose what suits them without anyone having to compromise.

Booking a Table

While walk-ins are always welcome in The Pub, booking ahead is recommended for The Grill, particularly on weekends, to guarantee your table for a proper steak dinner.

Somewhere You’ll Want to Return To

Whether it’s a quick pint after work or a proper night out over steak, our Pub & Grill aims to be the kind of reliable local spot that earns a regular place in your routine.
