Lunch in Gloucester — A Relaxed Midday Meal at Oakwood

A good lunch should feel like a proper pause in the day, not something rushed through between other plans. Oakwood Hotel, set just outside Gloucester in Twigworth, offers exactly that kind of midday experience — a relaxed, well-considered menu served in a genuinely comfortable setting, whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for a longer, more leisurely meal.

Food and drink sit at the centre of everything Oakwood does, and lunch is no exception. The menus draw on Gloucestershire’s produce, prepared with the same care and attention that runs through the hotel’s evening dining.

Why Choose Oakwood for Lunch

Quality Produce, Thoughtfully Prepared Oakwood’s kitchen puts genuine care into sourcing and preparing its ingredients, with menus built around Gloucestershire’s local produce.

A Choice of Settings Lunch at Oakwood isn’t limited to one space. The Pub offers a relaxed, sociable setting for a casual midday meal, while The Grill provides a more refined option for a proper sit-down lunch. On warmer days, The Terrace is a natural spot to eat outdoors and make the most of the setting.
