Sunday Brunch Near Stroud

Sunday mornings deserve a proper start, and for those near Stroud looking for somewhere a bit different to enjoy Sunday brunch, Oakwood Hotel offers a relaxed country setting a scenic drive out from the Five Valleys, with a menu built around good coffee, fresh ingredients, and no reason to rush.

Stroud has its own strong cafe culture, known for independent spirit and good coffee, but a proper hotel brunch with a countryside setting offers something different for those wanting to make more of a morning out of it. Brunch at Oakwood sits somewhere between breakfast and lunch, both in timing and in what’s on the menu. Expect a mix of classic brunch dishes — think eggs cooked a few different ways, pastries, and heartier plates — alongside lighter options for those who’d rather ease into the day.

The Setting

Sunday brunch is typically served in The Drawing Room, a relaxed, comfortable space suited to a slow start to the day — good natural light, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that doesn’t rush guests through their meal. On a mild morning, some guests prefer to take brunch out on The Terrace, weather permitting, enjoying the view over the Gloucestershire countryside while they eat.

What to Expect on the Menu

Our brunch menu draws on the same sourcing standards as the rest of our dining offering, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and produce from across Gloucestershire where we can. Alongside food, our coffee is taken seriously — properly made, not an afterthought — and for those wanting to add a little something extra to the morning, a Bloody Mary or a glass of fizz is usually available.
