For those near Upton upon Severn wanting to celebrate the festive season during the day rather than in the evening, Oakwood Hotel, just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, serves a traditional Christmas lunch throughout December — a popular choice for families, retired groups, and anyone preferring their celebrations to wrap up before dark.
Christmas lunch follows the traditional format guests expect — a proper roast with all the trimmings, festive starters and a seasonal dessert — served in The Grill or The Drawing Room depending on your group size, in a relaxed, unhurried daytime setting.
Christmas lunch tends to suit a slightly different crowd from our evening dinner service — families with young children preferring an earlier sitting, retired groups and social clubs marking the season together, and anyone wanting to fit a festive meal around other December commitments.
Christmas lunch works well for group bookings, whether that’s a family gathering, a social club outing, or a smaller informal work lunch. Our events team can help arrange a table or private space to suit.
As with our evening service, Christmas lunch is in high demand throughout December, and we’d recommend booking well in advance, particularly for weekend dates and the days closest to Christmas.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options can all be accommodated for Christmas lunch when notified in advance.
For those wanting to extend a visit, Oakwood’s other spaces — including The Terrace, weather permitting, or a drink in The Pub afterwards — offer plenty of ways to make an afternoon of it rather than heading straight back to Upton upon Severn.
Upton upon Severn’s own festive dining options are limited for a proper sit-down lunch, and Oakwood, roughly 20–25 km away, offers a daytime celebration that still feels like a genuine occasion. Free on-site parking makes it straightforward for guests of all ages, including elderly family members.
