Pub & Grill Near Longford: Two Ways to Eat Well at Oakwood Hotel

Sometimes you want a relaxed pub meal, and sometimes you want a proper, considered dinner — Oakwood Hotel, just a short distance from Longford, offers both under one roof. With The Pub for casual dining and drinks, and The Grill for a more refined evening meal, guests can choose whichever suits the occasion without needing to travel elsewhere.

Two Dining Spaces, One Quality Standard

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and our two main food-led spaces — The Pub and The Grill — reflect the same commitment to quality Gloucestershire produce, just delivered in different settings depending on what you’re after. The Pub offers a relaxed, sociable atmosphere well suited to a casual meal, a drink after work, or catching a bit of live entertainment. The Grill provides a more considered dining experience, ideal for a proper sit-down meal or a special occasion.

Being genuinely close to Longford means locals have both options available close to home, without needing to choose between a decent pub and a proper restaurant elsewhere.

The Pub: Relaxed and Sociable

The Pub at Oakwood is built around a genuinely welcoming, easygoing atmosphere, with a full food and drink menu available throughout the day and evening. It’s the natural setting for our regular live music, quiz nights, and sports screenings, as well as simply a good spot for a casual meal or drink with friends. The food here leans toward hearty, comforting dishes suited to a relaxed visit, without sacrificing the quality found throughout the rest of the hotel.

The Grill: Refined and Considered

The Grill offers a step up in formality, with a menu built around quality cuts and seasonal, carefully sourced produce. It’s the space we’d recommend for an anniversary dinner, a celebratory meal, or simply an evening where you want a bit more occasion to the dining experience. Service is more attentive here, and the pace of the evening is generally slower, giving guests the chance to properly enjoy a considered meal from start to finish.

Choosing the Right Space for Your Visit

Part of what makes Oakwood work so well for regular visitors is the flexibility of having both spaces available. A quick pub lunch during the week might call for The Pub, while a birthday dinner at the weekend might suit The Grill instead. Groups with mixed preferences can even split their visit between the two, starting with drinks in The Pub before moving through to a formal meal in The Grill, or vice versa.

For larger group bookings across either space, our occasions and events team can help arrange the details to suit your party.
