BBQ Restaurant Near Staunton

Looking for a proper BBQ restaurant near Staunton? Oakwood Hotel brings seasonal outdoor barbecue dining to Twigworth, just 20–25 km away on the outskirts of Gloucester. When the weather turns warm, our BBQ menu takes centre stage — built around quality Gloucestershire produce, fired over live coals, and served in the relaxed surroundings of The Terrace.

There’s something different about eating outdoors, and our BBQ offering has been designed to make the most of that — good food, a relaxed setting, and the kind of casual atmosphere that suits everything from a family meal to drinks and dinner with friends.

What’s on the BBQ Menu

Our BBQ menu focuses on quality over gimmicks — properly sourced meat, thoughtfully prepared sides, and enough variety to suit different appetites and tastes. Expect classic barbecue staples done well, alongside dishes that make the most of local Gloucestershire produce and seasonal ingredients. We also cater for vegetarian and other dietary requirements on request, so BBQ dining doesn’t have to mean limited options for anyone in your group.

You can find out more about our overall approach to food, including how our BBQ menu fits alongside our other dining spaces, on the dining page.

Dining on The Terrace

The Terrace is the natural home for our BBQ dining experience — an open-air space that takes advantage of Oakwood’s peaceful countryside setting on the edge of Gloucester. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual family dinner, meeting friends after work, or simply making the most of a sunny evening, The Terrace offers a relaxed alternative to our more formal indoor dining spaces.

Because it’s weather-dependent, we’d always recommend checking ahead or booking with some flexibility in mind during the BBQ season, particularly for larger groups.

Great for Groups and Families

BBQ dining naturally suits a more relaxed, sociable style of eating, which makes it a popular choice for family gatherings, informal celebrations, and get-togethers with friends. If you’re planning something a little more organised — a birthday, work gathering, or larger celebration — our events team can help arrange a BBQ-focused event as part of a wider booking. Take a look at our occasions and events page for more on how we can tailor a group booking around our BBQ offering.

Combine With a Stay

For guests travelling from Staunton, a BBQ evening at Oakwood pairs naturally with an overnight stay, particularly during the summer months when a relaxed evening on The Terrace can easily turn into a full night away. Our comfortable rooms are available for anyone wanting to make more of the occasion.

Why Choose Oakwood for BBQ Dining

What sets Oakwood’s BBQ dining apart from a standard pub garden barbecue is the same attention to quality and produce that runs through everything we do — proper ingredients, prepared with care, served in a genuinely pleasant setting. It’s casual dining done properly, rather than an afterthought bolted onto a hotel’s main menu.

Booking Your Table

BBQ dining on The Terrace is seasonal and weather-dependent, so we’d recommend checking availability ahead of your visit, particularly for larger groups or weekend evenings when demand is highest.
