The Top Oak

Fantastic food, great service and lovely decking area. Great night all round

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.

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.

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.

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
