We were a large group for a Sunday, only bugbear was we had to preorder, good service and monster Yorkshire's - what's not to love about that. It was rammed, parking can be an issue

For a pub very expensive and for not really up to standard. Then to top it all tried to add 2 drinks and 2 desserts to the bill
Good job I checked and would advise everyone to check the bill

I'll be honest, this was a random stop and one of the best places I've ever been to, the service was amazing, the food was brilliant and well priced.

We had our baby shower at the Top Oak in August and it was amazing! the staff were fantastic, so firefly and went alive and beyond for us and our guests. the buffet was great and was a hit with everyone!
we have been for lunch several times since including a meal today for my Dad's 60th Birthday and once again, great food and amazing service!
We can't wait to return, thank you Top Oak!

We had Sunday lunch here today.
What a lovely welcome from all the staff and very good service. We ate mussels for starters which were delicious then roast lamb and beef- all so good. Will certainly return.

Surprisingly good food. Had the ribs with Cajun chicken combo and it was delicious. Great chips, coleslaw was wonderful and the gravy was to die for. Price for this meal was very reasonable. Most other items seemed quite dear.

Have eaten here before and loved the food and excellent service. Visited today and whilst we had our lovely waitress, as last time, we left a bit disappointed. The food was nice though not as wow factor as previous but the younger waitresses were trying to grab plates before everyone at our table had finished. A pet hate of mine when restaurants… remove plates piece meal ! No break between starters and main so all very rushed, not a relaxed experience as last time. Hubbie saying he wouldn’t recommend or return. I would as hoping it’s a blip!

Food was great, steak cooked how I asked and all meals were piping hot, large portions and nothing too much trouble for the staff who were very efficient and attentive. Loads of space between the tables inside and tables in the beer garden for when the weather is a bit better. Will definitely go back.

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
