Festival Dining Near Upton upon Severn

Festivals and seasonal celebrations bring their own kind of energy to a meal — a bit more indulgence, dishes with real character, and a setting that matches the mood of the occasion. Around a 25-minute drive from Upton upon Severn, Oakwood Hotel in Twigworth marks key dates throughout the year with dedicated festival dining, giving guests a proper reason to celebrate the calendar’s bigger occasions.

Menus Built Around the Season

Festival dining at Oakwood typically means a specially curated menu tied to the occasion — whether that’s a Christmas menu built around traditional favourites, a harvest-inspired autumn offering, or dishes designed around another seasonal celebration. As with the rest of the hotel’s food, these menus lean on quality Gloucestershire produce, giving festival dining the same standard of cooking found across the regular menu, just shaped around the occasion.

A Setting That Suits the Occasion

Depending on the scale of the celebration, festival dining can be enjoyed in The Grill, for a more formal sit-down meal, or in The Pub, for something with a livelier, more festive atmosphere. In warmer months, seasonal celebrations can also spill out onto The Terrace, giving guests an outdoor option when the weather allows.
