Sunday Roast Near Kingsholm

Few meals carry as much tradition as a proper Sunday roast, and for those near Kingsholm looking for somewhere that does it justice, Oakwood Hotel offers a classic roast dinner just outside Gloucester, built around quality meat, generous trimmings, and no shortcuts.

Our Sunday roast follows the format guests expect and love — a choice of roasted meats, all served with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, and a proper gravy made from the roasting juices rather than a shortcut alternative. We take the same approach to sourcing here as we do across the rest of our menu, working with quality suppliers and drawing on Gloucestershire produce wherever we can.

What’s on the Menu

Our roast typically offers a choice of meats — commonly beef, pork, and chicken, alongside a vegetarian option for those who’d rather skip the meat altogether — so there’s a proper choice for every guest at the table. Portions are generous, and the trimmings are treated with as much care as the meat itself; a roast dinner is only as good as its weakest element, and we make sure nothing on the plate is an afterthought.

For those wanting to round off the meal properly, our dessert menu offers a changing seasonal selection, and a glass of red wine or a pint from our bar pairs naturally with the meal. You can find out more about our wider food offering on our dining page.

The Setting

Sunday roast is served across a few of our spaces depending on the atmosphere you’re after. The Grill offers a proper sit-down dining room experience, while The Pub provides a more relaxed, informal setting still built around the same quality of food. Families and larger groups are welcome in either space, and our team can advise on the best fit when you book.

Why Kingsholm Families Choose Oakwood

For families and groups near Kingsholm, a proper Sunday roast without the parking hassle of central Gloucester is a genuine draw. Oakwood’s location on the Tewkesbury Road, with on-site parking, makes it an easy weekly or occasional fixture, rather than a trip that requires much planning.

Booking Your Table

Sunday roast is consistently one of our most popular bookings, so we’d recommend booking ahead, particularly at peak lunchtime slots. Larger groups or those celebrating something special are welcome to get in touch with our occasions and events team, and guests wanting to make more of the day can enquire about staying over in one of our rooms.

Getting the Basics Right, Every Week

A roast dinner doesn’t leave much room to hide — poor gravy, dry meat, or soggy vegetables stand out immediately. Our kitchen treats it as a dish worth taking as seriously as anything else on the menu, checking every element individually rather than assuming a familiar format will carry the meal on its own.

If you have a preference for a particular cut of meat, or want to check what’s being served on a specific weekend before you book, our team is happy to confirm the current selection over the phone or by email.

It’s this attention to the small things that keeps a lot of Kingsholm families coming back to Oakwood most weekends, rather than treating a proper roast as an occasional indulgence.
