Sunday Grill Near Cheltenham: Oakwood Hotel

If you’re looking for a proper Sunday Grill near Cheltenham, Oakwood Hotel offers a well-executed Sunday menu just outside Gloucester in Twigworth — an easy short drive from Cheltenham and a genuine alternative to fully booked town-centre restaurants on the busiest lunch day of the week. A good Sunday meal comes down to quality meat, proper cooking, and a setting that lets the food take centre stage, and that’s exactly the approach taken at The Grill.

Why Oakwood’s Sunday Grill Stands Out

Food and drink sit at the heart of everything we do at Oakwood, and Sunday service is treated with the same care as any other day of the week. Rather than a scaled-back weekend menu, The Grill’s Sunday offering showcases Gloucestershire produce with the same attention to sourcing and preparation found across our regular dining service — proper cuts, confident cooking, and a kitchen that takes Sunday seriously.

The Grill provides a setting suited to a proper sit-down Sunday meal, whether that’s a traditional roast, a well-cooked steak, or another dish from the Sunday menu, giving guests a dining experience with a bit more occasion to it than a standard weekday lunch.

What to Expect from Sunday Grill Service

Sunday service at Oakwood typically includes a menu built around quality meat and seasonal accompaniments, prepared to the same standard guests would expect from an evening visit to The Grill. Whether you’re marking a family gathering, a relaxed Sunday out with friends, or simply treating yourself to a proper meal at the end of the week, the atmosphere is geared towards an unhurried, satisfying dining experience.

Because food quality remains consistent throughout the week at Oakwood, the Sunday Grill menu isn’t treated as a lesser weekend option — it reflects the same standards of sourcing and cooking found across our full dining offering.

A Calmer Alternative to Cheltenham’s Sunday Restaurants

Sunday lunch is one of the busiest dining occasions in Cheltenham, with popular restaurants often booked out weeks in advance and parking becoming difficult as the town fills up. At roughly 20–25 km from Cheltenham, Oakwood offers a calmer alternative — a short drive out to a proper sit-down setting with on-site parking, where securing a table doesn’t require booking a month ahead.

For guests wanting to extend their Sunday visit, our rooms page covers overnight stay options, and our Occasions & Events team can help arrange larger Sunday bookings for family gatherings or celebrations.

Sunday Grill for Families and Groups

The Grill’s Sunday service suits family gatherings particularly well, offering a proper sit-down meal without the rush often found at busier restaurants trying to turn tables quickly. Larger group bookings can generally be accommodated with advance notice, making it a good option for extended family get-togethers or celebrating a Sunday birthday.

Choosing Between The Grill and The Pub on a Sunday

For a more relaxed, informal Sunday meal, The Pub offers an alternative setting with the same quality food in a lower-key atmosphere. The Grill suits those wanting a slightly more considered dining experience, making the choice largely one of tone and occasion rather than food quality.

Booking a Table

Sunday service at The Grill can be popular, so booking ahead is recommended to secure your preferred time, particularly for larger groups or family gatherings.
