There’s a hierarchy to watching sport out. At the bottom: craning at a corner telly with the sound off. At the top: a decent seat, a screen you can actually see, food that arrives during the break, and a bar that doesn’t take fifteen minutes at half-time. The Pub at Oakwood Hotel in Twigworth was refurbished with the top of that hierarchy in mind.
The Pub at Oakwood Hotel screens live sport including [CONFIRM — Sky Sports / TNT Sports coverage: Premier League, Six Nations, rugby, racing, boxing/PPV policy] on [CONFIRM number/size of screens], with full food and bar service through every fixture and free on-site parking. Ten minutes from Gloucester city centre, without the city-centre scrum.
Match-day essentials:
Let’s be honest about local loyalties: this is rugby country. When Gloucester are away, Kingsholm’s faithful need somewhere to watch — and when the Six Nations rolls around, the whole county needs a sofa bigger than their own. We’re a ten-minute drive from Kingsholm, which also makes The Pub a natural pre- and post-match stop on home fixture days [CONFIRM match-day opening approach].
Football, racing during Cheltenham Festival week, big boxing nights — [CONFIRM] — the calendar is posted on our social channels.
Kayleigh Wright’s Google review name-checks exactly this: “Such a dramatic change to how the hotel used to be. From breakfasts through to carveries and even sports. Will 100% be returning.” Sports viewing is part of the new Oakwood, not an afterthought bolted to it.
A fair fight, so here’s the honest scorecard:
| City sports bar | The Pub at Oakwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere for the biggest games | Louder, rowdier | Lively but civilised |
| Getting a seat | First-come scramble | Bookable tables |
| Food | Variable | Proper kitchen — see our dining |
| Parking | Paid, distant | Free, outside |
| After full-time | Taxi queue | Drive home — or stay upstairs |
If you want to be sprayed with lager at the winning try, town has you covered. If you want to watch the match — with mates, a table, and dinner — that’s us.
World Cup knockouts, Six Nations Saturdays, title deciders: these are group occasions, and tables vanish.

And the overnight play: for a late kick-off or a big night, rooms upstairs at 10% off direct turns the match into a proper evening out with no journey home.
