It’s a popular choice for groups wanting a proper festive meal during the daytime, without committing to a full evening event.

Why Groups Near Stroud Choose Oakwood

Stroud has good festive dining options, but larger group bookings for Christmas lunch — particularly workplace groups or bigger family gatherings — can be difficult to secure once the festive period books up. As a full hotel with dedicated event space, Oakwood is well set up to handle group Christmas lunch bookings without the limitations a smaller restaurant might face.

For groups wanting to extend the day, our rooms offer the option to stay over after a festive lunch, particularly popular with workplace groups making a full day of their Christmas celebration.

Booking Christmas Lunch

The festive period is our busiest time of year for group dining, so we strongly recommend booking well in advance, particularly for workplace groups needing a specific date before the Christmas break.
