Late in 2016 the pub was refurbished, with a relaunch party on 7th October 2016. It is now called The Top Oak, which it has been known as for many years. This was to distinguish it from the Royal Oak in Havering-atte-Bower, that is known as the Bottom Oak. They were both Whitbread pubs.

We have been to this pub three times in the past month,twice for food and once just for a quick drink. I'm so delighted to have discover this place. The food is magnificant, being quite a foodie who dines out a lot and is hard to please that is saying something. On the last visit I had the roast belly of pork with stuffing and all the trimmings and it was amazing. The pork was so tender and just fell apart and the crackling was to die for. Perfect roast potatoes and real gravy and the homemade yorkshire puddings were a real treat. A must for your Sunday roast. Fabulous!

We have been to this pub twice in the last four weeks, first on a table of 14 and the next time just a table of 4. Both times staff were extremely good, restaurant area was modern, large and comfortable, bar area very traditional.
Menu was extensive and inviting, on my second visit I had pie and mash with liquor and it was gorgeous, took me back! Everyone at the table on both occasions were very complimentary about the food, and I have no complaints whatsoever. Service was at just the right pace for us.
The owners of the pub, Pete and Nicole are great hosts and very welcoming.
We are eating there again in early October with a group of 10 where there will be entertainment, and we are very much looking forward to it. Well done.
