Mother’s Day Lunch Near Upton upon Severn

A proper Mother’s Day lunch should feel like a genuine occasion — good food, a relaxed pace, and a setting that doesn’t rush you through the meal. Oakwood Hotel, located in Twigworth on the outskirts of Gloucester, around 25 minutes’ drive from Upton upon Severn, offers exactly that for families wanting to mark Mother’s Day with a lunch worth remembering.

A Menu Built for the Occasion

Our Mother’s Day lunch menu is built around quality Gloucestershire produce, prepared with the same care that defines Oakwood’s everyday dining, with a little extra polish for the occasion. Expect a set menu covering starters, mains and desserts, designed to suit a range of tastes across the table, since Mother’s Day gatherings often bring together several generations with quite different preferences. More detail on our approach to food can be found on our dining page.

A Setting for the Whole Family

Mother’s Day lunches vary in size, from an intimate table for two through to bigger family gatherings bringing together grandparents, parents and children. Oakwood’s spaces can flex to suit either, from a considered table in The Grill to larger group bookings for bigger celebrations. Our team is used to accommodating guests of all ages comfortably, whether that’s through seating arrangements, timing, or simply making sure the pace of service suits everyone.

Convenient for Upton upon Severn Families

Oakwood is located at Tewkesbury Rd, Twigworth, Gloucester GL2 9PG, around 25 minutes’ drive from Upton upon Severn, with on-site parking close to the entrance — a genuinely useful detail on one of the busiest dining days of the year, when parking near central Gloucester restaurants can be a real headache.

Making the Day Extra Special

For families wanting to go beyond lunch, a coffee in The Drawing Room afterwards extends the occasion without requiring a second booking, and for families travelling from further afield, our rooms offer the option to turn the day into a proper overnight visit. For larger family celebrations, our occasions and events team can help arrange something a little more tailored.

Why Families Choose Oakwood for Mother’s Day

A lot of our Mother’s Day bookings come from families who’ve visited in previous years and simply keep returning — not out of habit, but because the day tends to go smoothly. Fewer crowds than a city-centre restaurant, easier parking, and a pace of service that doesn’t feel rushed all add up to a lunch that’s genuinely enjoyable rather than stressful to organise.

A Lunch Without the Usual Compromises

Mother’s Day lunches booked at short notice often mean settling for whatever table and timing is left, rather than the setting a family would actually choose. Booking ahead at Oakwood avoids that compromise, giving families the chance to select a time and space that genuinely suits the day, rather than squeezing into whatever slot happens to be available elsewhere at the last minute.

Book Early for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is consistently one of our busiest dates, and tables fill quickly in the weeks leading up to it. We’d strongly recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for larger family groups or specific time slots, to avoid missing out on your preferred booking.

It also means the kitchen has proper notice to prepare for the day, which tends to show in both the quality and pace of the food that reaches the table.
