Summer BBQ Near Upton upon Severn

When summer arrives, there’s nothing quite like good barbecue food enjoyed outdoors, and Oakwood Hotel — located in Twigworth on the outskirts of Gloucester, around 20–25 km from Upton upon Severn — delivers exactly that. Our seasonal Summer BBQ, served on The Terrace, has become a firm favourite for guests from Upton upon Severn and the surrounding area looking for relaxed, quality outdoor dining.

Outdoor Dining Done Properly

The Terrace at Oakwood is designed for long summer evenings — good food, an easy, sociable atmosphere, and a genuine countryside setting. Our Summer BBQ menu brings together quality Gloucestershire produce with confident, unfussy cooking, giving guests a proper barbecue experience rather than something rushed or generic. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual midweek dinner or making a weekend of it with family or friends, The Terrace offers a relaxed setting to enjoy it in.

Food and drink sit at the centre of everything we do at Oakwood, and our Summer BBQ reflects that same commitment to quality found across our wider dining offering — thoughtfully sourced ingredients, prepared with care, and served in a setting that makes the most of Gloucestershire’s countryside atmosphere.

What to Expect from the Menu

Our Summer BBQ menu features a mix of quality meats, grilled vegetables, and fresh salads and sides designed to complement the smoky, char-grilled flavours of the main dishes. It’s built to suit a range of appetites and preferences, whether you’re after a hearty main course or a lighter combination of sides and smaller plates. As with all our menus, dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

Alongside the food, The Terrace’s drinks offering is well suited to a relaxed summer evening — a good selection of beers, wines and soft drinks designed to pair naturally with grilled, smoky flavours.

A Popular Choice for Groups

Summer BBQ dining at Oakwood naturally suits group visits — friends catching up over a relaxed dinner, families enjoying a warm evening together, or slightly larger gatherings that don’t require the formality of a private booking. The open, sociable nature of The Terrace makes it easy to enjoy good food without feeling rushed, and its setting on the peaceful outskirts of Gloucester gives it a genuine countryside atmosphere that’s hard to find closer to Upton upon Severn’s town centre.

For groups planning something a little more structured — a birthday, a work gathering, or a larger celebration built around a Summer BBQ evening — our occasions and events team can help arrange a dedicated space or bespoke menu to suit the occasion.

Making a Full Visit of It

Many guests travelling from Upton upon Severn choose to combine a Summer BBQ evening on The Terrace with a wider visit to Oakwood, whether that’s starting the day with coffee in The Drawing Room, or extending the evening with a stay in one of our comfortable rooms rather than driving home after dinner.

Booking Your Summer BBQ Evening

Our Summer BBQ menu is weather-dependent and runs during the warmer months, so we’d recommend checking availability and booking ahead, particularly for weekend evenings when demand for Terrace seating tends to be highest.
