Summer BBQ Near Longford: Fire Up the Grill at Oakwood Hotel

There’s something about good weather and the smell of a proper barbecue that makes summer feel like summer. Just a short distance from Longford, Oakwood Hotel hosts a summer BBQ built around quality Gloucestershire produce, giving locals a genuine reason to head outdoors and enjoy the season properly.

A Proper Summer BBQ, Close to Home

Oakwood Hotel is based on Tewkesbury Rd in Twigworth, within easy reach of Longford, and our summer BBQ typically takes place on The Terrace, our outdoor dining space set within the peaceful surroundings of the hotel’s grounds. Rather than a basic burger-and-sausage affair, our approach to BBQ food follows the same standards found throughout Oakwood — quality ingredients, properly cooked, without cutting corners just because the food’s coming off a grill.

Being genuinely close to Longford means locals don’t need to travel far to enjoy a proper outdoor BBQ, making it an easy choice whenever the weather is good enough to make the most of it.

What’s on the BBQ Menu

Our summer BBQ menu typically includes a range of quality grilled meats, alongside vegetarian options for guests who prefer it, all built around the same commitment to Gloucestershire produce found throughout Oakwood. Expect proper burgers and grilled meats cooked with care, alongside fresh salads, sides, and accompaniments designed to make the most of seasonal ingredients.

We’re happy to accommodate dietary requirements, so if you or your group have specific needs, simply let us know when booking and we’ll make sure the BBQ menu works for everyone.

A Relaxed Setting for the Season

Summer BBQ suits a wide range of visits, from a casual weekend lunch to a larger group gathering making the most of good weather together. The setting on The Terrace lends itself naturally to a relaxed, sociable atmosphere, whether that’s a family meal, a group of friends catching up outdoors, or simply enjoying a drink and some good food in the sunshine.

Ideal for Groups and Celebrations

Our summer BBQ works particularly well for larger groups wanting to celebrate together outdoors, whether that’s a family gathering, a birthday, or simply a group of friends making the most of the season. For larger bookings or specific requests, our occasions and events team can help arrange suitable seating and menu options in advance, particularly for groups wanting to book a specific date ahead of time.

Weather-Dependent, So Check Ahead

As with any outdoor dining, our summer BBQ is weather-dependent, so we’d recommend checking with us ahead of your visit to confirm availability, particularly if you’re planning a specific date for a group celebration. Our indoor spaces remain available as a comfortable alternative if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Make a Day of It

For guests wanting to properly make the most of a good summer’s day, Oakwood also offers comfortable rooms, allowing a summer BBQ to become part of a longer visit rather than a single meal.
