We had starters of specials of Beetroot and Giats Cheese Salad, Salt n Pepper Squid of the normal Sunday menu Buffalo Chicken Wings and Cockles. They were all really nice and served as expected. We then had roast beef, gammon roast, Steak and Ale pie, and I had a platter of meat roast. I tasted all meats pork, beef, chicken and gammon all were moist the accompanying Yorkshire pudding, wide ranging veg and roasties were lovely to. We had naughty sides of sausages in bacon lush, pork crackling double lush! And Cauliflower cheese. Everything was great! For desert i had Belgian Waffle with toffee sauce and fudge which was rich! Service friendly and lovely atmosphere! This place is worth a visit really lovely π
Fantastic food, great service and lovely decking area.
Great night all round
Food and service, the atmosphere is absolutely excellent well worth a visit had a lovely afternoon didn't realise we had been there nearly 4 hours. There is no pressure at all from the staff to leave attentive to our needs without being pushy. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you, Top Oak.
Nice pub. Pleasant staff. Service a little slow (we were not in a hurry). On occasions had to go to the bar to find serving staff. A little pricey for a pub lunch.
Fish and chips perfection. Steak and ale pie perfection, too. Excellent service. ππ½π
Had a great family lunch here.
The entrance isn't that inviting, but the restaurant area is really nice, and thankfully, air conditioned.
Had the salt and pepper squid to start, and it was soft with a nice light batter - tasty and perfectly cooked.
My partner had the gyoza, and they were also fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked.
We both had the pork roast. The meat was tender and tasty with a lovely rich gravy. Nice fresh veg and nicely cooked potatoes and parsnips.
Finished off with gherkin biscoff cheesecake, which tasted bought in, but was still really nice.
Service was friendly and just at the right speed.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, everyone enjoyed their lunch.
We went on a whim today and the food was amazing! I wish I had taken some pictures. It was quiet and calm and quite relaxing in there. The waitress was very attentive and had lots of time for us even though she was quite busy. Will definitely be going again soon!!
Visited a good few times, staff are lovely and friendly, roasts are good! Being vegetarian they catered for me well, two large Yorkshire puddings and extra potatoes! Lively and reasonably priced.
The wing of skate was beautiful and great value at just Β£13! Lovely setting, decking area was great and restaurant looked lovely. Toilets could do with an update however. Overall would defo recommend and will be returning.

So glad to be able to show support to another local restaurant today as we made a return visit to the Top Oak gastro pub in stapleford abbots. On our previous occasions we've enjoyed a great sunday lunch and what we experienced today certainly lived up to our expectations. As we entered the pub you could see that there were definitely fewer tables in the bar area allowing for people to social distance. As well as this there were also hand sanitizer machines conveniently placed around the pub. We continued through to the restaurant at the rear of the pub where there was once more a hand sanitizer station. In the restaurant itself there was clearly fewer tables allowing for all the staff to move around freely. We were seated at our table before being presented with the menu which has a great selection of Starters , Mains , Roasts , Sides & Desserts.
Starters
For our first course we ordered the Mediterranean Prawns with a sweet chilli dip as well as a good old pub favourite the Prawn Cocktail.
Mains
Now it was time to enjoy two fabulous Sunday Roasts dinners as we chose the Roast Beef and my favourite the Mixed Roast which was a slice of beef , lamb & pork. Both roasts were an absolute treat. Dessert
We then finished with two delightful desserts. The first being the Summer Fruits Elton Mess and the other was the Biscoff Cheesecake. I am pleased to say they were both delicious.
This rounded of a great Sunday Lunch where the food was good and this was matched by very friendly service from all the team. So if these things are what you want when your out for a meal then I would definitely recommend a visit to the Top Oak.
I'd like to thank all the team for their efforts in making everything seem like normal during these tough times that we're in at the moment and to wish them all the best for the future. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon
Birthday meal yesterday
I'm pretty fussy - our children have bets as to if I'm gonna send something back or not ha ha .
Not been here in a while but it local so we decided to go here for the wife's birthday meal - got to say food was spot on tasty , plenty and great price and came up pretty fast when we eventually ordered -
toilets always a niggle of mine - 100% spotless
decor perfect very homely - will be back soon
100% recommended - our server was very patient and attentive with us as we were chatting away like good ones and not ready to order for ages . a couple of niggles - why of why did you take the pie n mash off the menu - was the best I've ever had .
secondly service charge added to bill - no need you would have got a bigger tip had you left it to the customer - I totally disagree with service charges added automatically - it should be down to the customer simple .
thank you very much for a great evening

Good food and lots of it. Nice and bright and airy. Perfect service at the right speed.
The staff were so friendly and kind.
the starters we had (squid and prawns) were absolutely delicious and served nice and hot.
We enjoyed the mains too, we were nice and full after the meal.
Had a great time all in all.
Want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who made my Dad's birthday the most amazing day! Nothing was too much trouble. Food was fantastic and the service second to none π
I would recommend this place the staff were friendly and very helpful the whole place was clean and homely will definitely be going there again when I go down south again
Had the best food in such a lovely pub. Very welcoming staff.
What's not to like, service was good, comfortable atmosphere, varied menu and food was lovely (beer battered cod and chips and sausage and mash - would recommend both) and reasonably priced. Friday night they had a live singer who was pretty good too. Will certainly go back.π
