Boxing Day Lunch in Gloucester | Oakwood Hotel

Boxing Day Lunch in Gloucester at Oakwood Hotel

By Boxing Day, most kitchens are running on leftovers and goodwill. A proper sit-down lunch — cooked by someone else, with nothing to clear up afterwards — tends to be exactly what families want the day after Christmas. Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester in Twigworth, offers Boxing Day lunch for anyone who’d rather sit down to a proper meal than face another day in the kitchen.

If you’re after Boxing Day lunch in Gloucester that takes the pressure off the day after Christmas, Oakwood is worth considering.

A Relaxed Boxing Day Lunch

Boxing Day calls for something a little more relaxed than Christmas Day itself, and our dining is built around that. The Grill offers a considered, seasonal lunch built around Gloucestershire produce, well suited to a proper family sit-down. For something more casual, The Pub gives a relaxed alternative, good honest food without the formality.

Why Book Boxing Day Lunch at Oakwood

A few reasons families choose to eat out on Boxing Day rather than cook again:

• No cooking or washing up, giving everyone a proper break from the kitchen.
• A comfortable, family-friendly setting, suited to groups of all sizes.
• Good, seasonal food, without the effort of another home-cooked meal.
• Easy, on-site parking, without needing to navigate a busy town centre.

Make a Weekend of It

For families travelling to be together over the festive period, rooms are available if you’d rather stay over than travel home after lunch. It also makes for an easy way to gather everyone together without one household bearing the cooking on both days.
