Updating an Ercol coffee table?

I bought a round Ercol coffee table on ebay a while back and while I like the style (round with a slatted shelf under), the finish is not very pretty.

I think the table is made from oak, it is varnished so very shiny and dark, it also has a water mark left by a hot cup of tea/coffee.

It is ok to sand off the varnish and if so has anyone done this with any success? How do I go about this or should I ask a furniture restorer to take it on?

Looks a bit like this one
