Team Lunch Near Stroud

Sometimes a team just needs a proper lunch together, away from desks and meeting rooms, without the scale or expense of a full team building day. For businesses near Stroud looking for somewhere to take the team for lunch, Oakwood Hotel offers a relaxed setting near Gloucester with quality food and enough space for a group to sit down together properly.

A team lunch doesn’t need a structured agenda or a specific reason behind it beyond simply giving colleagues time together outside the usual working environment. Whether you’re marking the end of a project, celebrating a milestone, or just looking for an excuse to get the team out of the office for an afternoon, Oakwood offers a straightforward option that doesn’t require the planning a bigger event might need.

A Relaxed Setting for the Whole Team

The Grill offers a comfortable, proper dining room setting suited to a team lunch, while The Pub provides a more relaxed alternative for teams wanting something less formal. On a mild day, The Terrace gives groups the option of eating outdoors, taking advantage of the change of scenery from a typical office lunch break.

Food That Suits a Working Lunch

Our kitchen builds team lunch menus around the same quality standards as the rest of our dining offering, with options that suit a group looking for something quicker and easier to order together, as well as a fuller sit-down meal for teams with more time to spare. Our bar team can also arrange a round of drinks for the table, including a full range of mocktails for colleagues who’d rather skip the alcohol during a working day.

Worth the Trip From Stroud

For teams based in Stroud and the surrounding Five Valleys, a lunch out at Oakwood offers a proper change of scenery rather than the same local cafes and pubs colleagues already know well.
