Boxing Day Lunch Near Upton upon Severn

By the time Boxing Day arrives, most households have had quite enough of cooking — the effort of Christmas Day still fresh, the fridge still full of leftovers, and not much appetite left for standing over a stove again. Within easy reach of Upton upon Severn, Oakwood Hotel in Twigworth offers a genuine alternative: a proper Boxing Day lunch out, with none of the washing up.

Why Boxing Day Lunch Out Makes Sense

Christmas Day cooking is a marathon for whoever ends up in charge of it, and Boxing Day rarely offers much of a break if lunch is still being cooked at home. Booking a table removes that entirely — everyone gets to relax, the person who did all the work on Christmas Day finally gets looked after too, and the whole family can simply enjoy being together without another day built around the kitchen.

At Oakwood Hotel, Boxing Day lunch is served in The Grill, with a menu built around quality Gloucestershire produce and prepared with the same care as any other special occasion on our calendar.

A Menu That Still Feels Festive

Boxing Day lunch at Oakwood keeps the festive spirit going without simply repeating Christmas Day. Expect a seasonal menu with genuine choice, suited to guests who might want something traditional and those who’d rather try something different after a day of turkey and trimmings.

Easy to Reach From Upton upon Severn

Oakwood Hotel’s location just off the A38 in Twigworth offers a practical journey for guests travelling from Upton upon Severn, making Boxing Day lunch a sensible option even during the quieter, slower-paced days between Christmas and New Year.

Suited to the Whole Family

Boxing Day often brings extended family together in a way even Christmas Day sometimes doesn’t — visiting relatives, in-laws, and grandchildren all converging for a shared meal. Our dining spaces can accommodate a range of group sizes, and for larger bookings, it’s worth getting in touch ahead of time or reviewing our occasions and events page for guidance.

Dietary Requirements Welcome

We’re happy to accommodate dietary requirements as part of our Boxing Day lunch offering — vegetarian, gluten-free, or otherwise. Just let us know when you book, so our kitchen can prepare accordingly for every guest at your table.

A Chance to Properly Relax

For whoever usually ends up cooking over the festive period, Boxing Day lunch out is often the first real chance to sit back and be looked after themselves. We take that seriously, treating the day with the same care as Christmas Day itself, so nobody at the table feels like an afterthought.

Extended Family, Properly Catered For

Boxing Day often means welcoming in-laws, cousins, and relatives who weren’t necessarily part of Christmas Day itself, and our team is well used to accommodating that wider mix of guests, tastes, and dietary needs around one table.

Making It Part of a Longer Break

Some families use Boxing Day lunch as the centre of a short break away from home altogether, booking a room to stay overnight and avoid the need to travel on a busy post-Christmas day.

Booking Ahead

Boxing Day lunch is a popular booking each year, so we’d recommend securing your table as early as possible, particularly if you’re hoping for a specific time or need space for a larger group.
