For those near Stroud looking for a proper steak done well, Oakwood Hotel’s Grill offers a dedicated steak night just outside Gloucester, built around quality cuts, confident cooking, and a setting that suits sitting back and properly enjoying the meal.
Stroud has plenty of independent cafes and small restaurants, but a dedicated steak night with a proper Grill setting is a different kind of offering, and one that’s worth the trip out for those who take their steak seriously. Our approach is built around doing the fundamentals properly rather than overcomplicating things, working with quality suppliers to source well-reared beef, with a focus on Gloucestershire and the wider West Country where we can.
Steak night in The Grill typically features a selection of cuts — from classic favourites through to something a little more indulgent for those wanting to push the boat out — alongside a range of sauces, sides, and accompaniments designed to complement rather than overwhelm the meat itself. Our kitchen team cooks every steak to order, exactly as requested, rather than working to a fixed standard across the board, and our team is happy to talk through the different cuts on offer if you’re not sure what to choose.
To go with your steak, our wine list has been put together with red wine pairings specifically in mind, and our bar can also recommend a cocktail or beer if that’s more your style. For more on our wider food offering, see our dining page.
The Grill offers a proper dining room atmosphere — comfortable, well-lit, and suited to an evening where the food is the main event. It’s a popular choice for date nights, small celebrations, or simply a treat without needing a special occasion to justify it. For guests who’d prefer something more relaxed, a selection of steaks is also usually available in The Pub, served in a more informal setting.
Given Stroud’s location among the Five Valleys, we know a trip out to Oakwood takes a bit of planning, but for guests who want a genuinely good steak cooked properly, it tends to be worth the journey. On-site parking and a relaxed country hotel setting make it an easy choice for an occasional treat rather than a regular weekly habit for those travelling from further afield.
Steak night tends to be a popular fixture, particularly at weekends, so we’d recommend booking a table in advance to avoid disappointment. Larger groups or those celebrating a specific occasion are welcome to get in touch with our occasions and events team, and guests wanting to extend the evening are welcome to book a room for the night.
We’d rather guests near Stroud thought of steak night at Oakwood as a proper destination meal worth building an evening around, rather than a convenience stop on the way to somewhere else.
That standard applies whether it’s a Tuesday evening treat or a proper celebration booked weeks in advance.
Guests are also welcome to ask about resting times and preferred doneness before their order goes through to the kitchen.
We’re happy to confirm current cut availability over the phone before you set off, particularly if you have a specific one in mind.
We’re happy to confirm current pricing across the different cuts if budget is a factor in deciding which to order.
Our steak night typically features a range of cuts from classic favourites through to premium options — our team can advise on what’s currently available and recommend cuts based on your preference.
We work with quality suppliers with a focus on well-reared beef from Gloucestershire and the wider West Country where possible.
