Chinese New Year Party Near Upton upon Severn

Marking Chinese New Year with a proper celebration doesn’t need a trip into a city centre. Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, hosts an annual Chinese New Year party, giving guests near Upton upon Severn a chance to celebrate with a specially prepared menu and a genuinely festive atmosphere.

Celebrating at Oakwood

Our Chinese New Year evening typically takes the form of a set menu event, held in one of our function spaces or The Grill depending on numbers, with dishes prepared to reflect the traditions and flavours of the occasion. While our everyday menu focuses on Gloucestershire produce, our Chinese New Year menu is planned specifically for the celebration, offering something different while keeping the same standard of care in preparation.

The format is generally structured around a shared or set menu, encouraging a communal, celebratory atmosphere in keeping with the spirit of the evening, alongside drinks and small touches connected to the traditions of the festival where appropriate.

Who Comes Along

Our Chinese New Year party attracts a genuine mix — those with a personal or family connection to the festival wanting to mark it locally, and others simply curious to try something different from a standard dinner out. It’s become a popular date for groups of friends, families and couples from Upton upon Severn wanting a change of pace.

Group Bookings

For those celebrating as part of a larger group — family, friends, or colleagues — booking ahead is worth doing, as the evening tends to be popular and space is limited. Our events team can also discuss arranging a private space for larger group bookings.
