Food and Drink Worth Celebrating

A birthday party lives or dies by its food, and this is where Oakwood genuinely stands apart. Our kitchen sources Gloucestershire produce wherever possible, building menus around what’s genuinely in season rather than following a generic template. Guests can enjoy anything from a relaxed buffet spread to a plated three-course celebration meal, prepared by chefs who understand that a party menu needs to please a wide range of tastes, including children and older relatives alike. Take a look at our dining options for a sense of the style and quality on offer, from The Grill’s refined plates to The Pub’s more relaxed sharing dishes.
