Mocktails Near Kingsholm

If you’re looking for something a little more creative than a soft drink but don’t want the alcohol, Oakwood Hotel is fast becoming the go-to spot for mocktails near Kingsholm. Just a short drive from Kingsholm Stadium and the surrounding streets of Gloucester, our bar team has put together a mocktail menu that takes non-alcoholic drinking as seriously as anything with spirits in it — because it deserves to be.

Whether you’re the designated driver on a night out, cutting back for personal reasons, pregnant, or simply prefer to keep a clear head while still enjoying something with a bit of theatre to it, our mocktails are built to impress. This isn’t an afterthought bolted onto the back of a drinks list. Every mocktail on our menu is developed in-house by our bar staff, using fresh juices, house-made syrups, and quality mixers, balanced the same way we’d balance a classic cocktail.

Why Kingsholm Guests Choose Oakwood for Mocktails

Kingsholm is a close-knit part of Gloucester with a strong sense of local pride — from matchday crowds at Kingsholm Stadium to families and professionals who live in the surrounding streets. What’s often missing nearby is somewhere that feels like a proper night out without needing to travel into the city centre. Oakwood Hotel sits just outside Gloucester on the Tewkesbury Road, giving Kingsholm residents an easy-to-reach country hotel setting with a bar that doesn’t treat non-drinkers as an afterthought.

Our bar team pays close attention to the same things a great cocktail needs: balance of sweet, sour, and bitter; texture; garnish; and presentation. Expect fresh muddled fruit, herbal infusions like rosemary and thyme, house-made cordials, and options that change with the seasons so there’s always something new to try.

The Setting

Mocktails at Oakwood can be enjoyed in a few different spaces depending on the mood you’re after. On warmer evenings, The Terrace is a favourite — open air, relaxed, and perfect for watching the evening settle in over the Gloucestershire countryside. If you’d prefer something a little more intimate, The Drawing Room offers comfortable seating and a quieter atmosphere, ideal for catching up with friends or unwinding after a busy week. For those combining drinks with food, our dining spaces — including The Grill and The Pub — both serve our full mocktail range alongside their menus.

Quality You Can Taste

We believe a non-alcoholic drink should never feel like a compromise. Our bar team sources fresh produce locally where possible, in keeping with Oakwood’s wider commitment to showcasing Gloucestershire’s produce across food and drink alike. Expect seasonal fruit, quality tonics and sodas, and thoughtful garnishing on every glass that leaves the bar.

If you’re planning a visit around a special occasion — a birthday, a celebration, or simply a relaxed evening out — our team is always happy to talk through the mocktail menu in advance, and can tailor drinks for guests with dietary requirements or specific preferences.

Making a Night of It

Many guests from Kingsholm choose to combine mocktails with dinner at The Grill or a more relaxed evening in The Pub, and some extend the evening further by staying the night rather than making the short journey home. If you’re planning a get-together, celebration, or private event, our team can also help put together a bespoke drinks package as part of your booking — take a look at our occasions and events page for more on how we can help.
