Boxing Day rarely calls for the same effort as Christmas Day itself — after a full day of cooking and hosting the day before, the last thing most families want is to be back in the kitchen. For anyone searching for Boxing Day lunch near Longford, Oakwood Hotel offers a genuinely relaxed alternative: good food, comfortable space, and no washing up.
Located on Tewkesbury Road in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel sits within 10km of Longford, making it an easy, convenient choice for a Boxing Day lunch that lets the whole family actually relax together.
Christmas Day tends to fall to one or two people in most families — the cooking, the timing, the endless washing up. Boxing Day is the natural point to hand that over entirely. Families searching for Boxing Day lunch venues near Longford are typically looking for:
Oakwood Hotel’s Boxing Day lunch is built around exactly this — a proper festive meal, without anyone in the family needing to lift a finger.
Our Boxing Day lunch draws on the same Gloucestershire sourcing philosophy used throughout the festive season, with a menu confirmed closer to the date each year. Families can choose The Grill for a slightly more formal sitting, or The Pub for a relaxed lunch with good beer alongside the meal — often the better fit for a day that’s meant to be about winding down rather than another formal occasion. Full detail on our approach to food is available on the dining page.
Given how popular Boxing Day lunch is as a way of extending the festive period without the effort of hosting, booking ahead is genuinely worth it.
