Boxing Day Lunch Near Churchdown

After the excitement of Christmas Day, Boxing Day is often about slowing down, gathering family and friends again, and enjoying good food without the pressure of cooking it yourself. For those near Churchdown, Oakwood Hotel offers a relaxed, beautifully prepared Boxing Day lunch in a countryside setting that takes the effort out of the day while keeping all of its warmth.

A Setting That Suits the Occasion
