La Hogue Farm Shop & Cafe in East Cambridgeshire

Unfortunately for us the food was bland, burnt toast and hard poached eggs. Over priced and poor quality. Been before, year or two ago and the food was lovely. Menu has changed and is now very basic and quite honestly over priced for what you get. Won’t visit again.

La Hogue is an excellent place for lunch and even a bit of shopping if needed. There's lots of local produce on offer. Lunch was lovely and we had a very good chatty time.

Firstly, the farm shop cashier staff, fantastic, friendly, had a chat, great experience. The cafe, staff cleaning tables were friendly, and welcoming, however, the cashier didn’t smile, gave the impression she didn’t want to be there.. came across as rude! The breakfast I had was delicious, good quality, well cooked, presentation good .. which I would expect for what it cost, the price wasn’t bad, however it did state on the menu, no swapping of items, which I can sort of understand, 1x sausage, 1x egg, bacon and toast, baked beans were included but I am allergic to them, so I asked for a tomato instead which after looking at the receipt cost over £2 for 1 tomato, they made money on keeping my beans, charging me an extra £2 for a tomato .. come on!!!!!! Not very good customer service!!!! I will not be going back ..

Over the years we have often popped into the cafe for coffee and cake, but having moved from the area we haven’t been for some time, La Hogue was a half way point for our holiday trip so was the obvious choice for a stopover with friends. The coffee and snacks were very nice but the visit was spoilt by the woman who served us at the till. No smile, no welcome and made us feel as if she really didn’t want to serve us. We asked for sugar and she snapped ‘It’s on the table’ (we were outside and there isn’t anything on the tables), I ordered tea but no milk was given, I waited but she had moved onto the next customer, when I asked for milk she sighed and filled a small jug and slammed it onto my tray. She was not a good ambassador for La Hogue! While we were sitting in the garden a lovely young lady came out and asked us if everything was alright with our visit, made a fuss of our dogs and had a short chat with us. She was absolutely lovely and her spending a few minutes with us made a world of difference.

As ever a great breakfast love this place good food bit pricey but always a treat nice staff and quick delivery on food . The farm shop is also good for produce and they have good meat counter .

We used to visit La Hogue regularly, so were extremely surprised by our lunch time treat the other day, ordered was the standard La Hogue breakfast and I had the Warm Chicken and Bacon salad . As they are now so busy it is like a conveyor belt of trays - that weren't particularly clean - shoved along the counter for the drinks that you take back to your table whilst you wait for your food. Tables around us were unkempt and the floor underneath the tables had been missed for cleaning...we really wanted to cancel our order and go - but persevered and the experience didn't get any better - the breakfast was not very hot and greasy with congealed beans that look like they had either been left under a hot light for a few days! or microwaved to within an inch of their life - inedible, cold toast and eggs gliding over the plate as they were so greasy. Mine was not much better - would of been nice if the bacon had been drained before being put on a salad and also if there was more bacon than fat - totally disgusting...the chicken was like wood - I can't even begin to describe how dry and solid it was - not what I would of expected from a "farm shop" very overprocessed and not a fresh product as I would of expected. Needless to say we won't be revisiting to eat and on the look out for our new breakfast and lunch hot spot in the area. Please La Hogue if you read this and take anything from this review - look within and tell yourselves - have we got to big to try and meet demand and do we need to step up and go back to old values - where we knew our customers and would have a little chat and make them feel welcomed.

Spotted the sign on the A11 and turned off. Arrived at 1.15 and cafe busy but were seated and had ordered food which arrived in 5 minutes. It was only soup and sourdough toast but all fresh and delicious. The food coming out to other tables looked good too. A perfect stop and the shop looked really good too

Great breakfast as always local produce great service good food and a great farm shop . Would recommend to anyone . Staff very friendly

An excellent dog friendly, stop off point en route to Norfolk. Panini were superb and the staff very welcoming and responsive. Only blot for me (but not enough to mark it down) was the historic explanation of the name on the blackboard behind the tills. Just a touch triumphalist and not too endearing to overseas visitors. Just my view but then I’m probably over sensitive. Otherwise, a terrific find !

I visited just before Christmas with my daughter. We were going to have a hearty breakfast to set us up for a walk at Wicken Fen. The cafe staff are friendly and they are coeliac friendly. However, we were both rather underwhelmed by the breakfast presentation. Yes, the breakfasts are listed and itemised, but sadly, they don't exactly fill the plate. If you are paying for a full breakfast, I'd have thought 2 eggs would be a good start. My gluten-free breakfast consisted of 1 egg, bacon, and beans, and gf toast. A flat white and 1 orange juice was over £6. I hear such good reports of the quality of the produce generally, but I won't be rushing there for breakfast again.

Very nicely presented, food good quality. But they have a no substitute policy, so if you want to swap something you have to pay for your second choice. This works out quite expensive. I can think of nowhere nearby with a similar policy, and have to admit it often makes this place a second choice..

Could not understand why such a quality farm shop stocked only one local cheese. For example, there was French and Somerset Brie on sale, but not Suffolk Brie which is far superior. Shameful

Ive been to this place twice now and I can honestly say that this is the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Every item on the plate is of the highest quality. I had the farmhouse breakfast both times and at £12.99 it is at the more expensive end for a breakfast but it is worth every penny!! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back!

Countryside farm shop with an abundance of local produce, an excellent selection of pickles and jams purchased and enjoyed during our vacation in Cambridgeshire. Coffee taken at the cafe too.

A very busy place but we were served very quickly and enjoyed a fabulous breakfast. Great value for money and the most amazing desserts I’ve ever seen. All the staff were really friendly and all worked so well together. Lovely farm shop with a good selection of well priced outdoor plants. Definitely our new stop on the way to Norfolk, thank you to the member of staff who gave us the leaflet so we can find it on the way back!

Unfortunately the following day all members of the family were sick upset stomachs and vomiting. Given the only items common in our menu were the salads and we were from separate households guess greater care needs to be taken in food preparation during the hot weather.

Nice large cafe as part of the farm shop with kids outside play area. Plenty of seating inside and covered outside to keep the rain off. Good cafe menu and all day breakfast. Easy access for wheel chairs and buggies with easy access toilets. Plenty of parking. Definitely recommend. Please like if this helped.

Visited La Hogue at the weekend for Sunday Lunch. This was our first visit and one definitely to be repeated. The food was exceptional together with the service received from the very helpful staff. The desert section is out of this world ... so many to choose from and all looking very appealing. Would highly recommend *****. The Webbs

We love to come here for our welcome home lunch and treat our friend who picks us up from the airport. Love their tea and sweets. This time we had the tomato and chutney sandwich with cheese and a side of chips. Our friend had the full English. Delicious as always.

Very nice place to see some farm animals and eat a good breakfast. I ordered a hamburger that was really tasty, with a very big portion of delicious fries. There's also a shop with food and gifts, and a small playground for children. Friendly staff and fast service. Recommended.

Great breakfast! We had an enjoyable breakfast here on our way back home from a trip. Order at the counter with table number. Bacon and Sausages were delicious. Lovely farm shop to browse and buy food and gifts in too and parking was easy right outside the front door.

Great place Very Good service Very Good food Very friendly staff Very good value for money We Will be back again soon with the family

Excellent breakfast, freshly cooked to order. Possibly the best ever breakfast sausages as stated by my fussy husband! The whole place is very clean and welcoming with super friendly staff who are very attentive and helpful. They cater for all, with a lovely outside play area, dog friendly seating section and a relaxed atmosphere. The fresh food in the shop looked incredible and there’s an interesting selection of gifts to browse. La Hogue is easy to find and we highly recommend a stop here. If we had arrived a bit later, there are plenty of choices for lunch on the menu. Overall, excellent, freshly cooked food and very good value for money.

Everyone was talking about this place so I went with high expectations. This place was every bit as good as everyone said, wonderful service, warm, delicious food and a shop with so much variety. Will definitely be going back...

Decided to visit what used to be an old favourite - to our regret. Lunch menu is now a lot smaller than it used to be, with just the basics such as sandwiches and jacket potatoes unless you’re there on Sunday which we were. We therefore went for the lamb Sunday lunch, expensive at nearly £18 each! The plate was covered in a runny gravy, the lamb was ‘pulled’ probably to hide how small the portion was they gave you, and the veg was steamed but not enough to soften the carrots. We had a dog with us and they gave us a seat in the covered conservatory, the seats were cheap outdoor seats that made it difficult to sit forward and eat your food. We also asked for water for the dog and were told the dog bowls were outside - they were bone dry. A high street cafe chain does a better welcome than here. There are plenty of places in the wider area that offer a better deal than here now, which is a shame as it used to be so good. Had a quick look round the shop and butchery whilst we were there to see the prices inflated compared to our normal shops and butchers, we won’t be returning.

Debbie was very helpful and made our lunch time visit enjoyable. The cheesey chips were lovely the scrambled egg and salmon was cooked to perfection and all who had the breakfast and desserts left full and happy. The staff here are extremely friendly and very...

After a visit to Chippenham Hall, we dropped in here for lunch. The cafe was light and airy, very clean and had a lot of tables, most of which were full. The food was well presented, very well cooked and of good quality. Service was...

Great scampi and chips Always a good portion and very hot There is also a choice of light bite, if you don’t fancy a full portion

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch , not only was the Food lovely but so was the atmosphere…. Also appreciate higher market condiments such as Stokes ketchup , and salad dressings it is a nice added touch. Really wish we weren’t full after our Lunch as...

Lovely lunch while meeting up with friends. Great to have gluten free bread so I could have a sandwich with plenty of egg mayo in it. The others really enjoyed their sandwiches and cakes as well all reasonably priced. We will be back.

Popped in here for some lunch this week after being given a recommendation. Took a look around the shop that is highly overpriced. Looked around at the items for sale, pictures hanging on walls that are £10 more than a few miles down the road...

Travelling to Norfolk as we often do, we always bemoaned the loss of so many decent tea stops with the building of so many by-passes. Not anymore, la Houge Lane takes us to this well presented and well-run stop which serves every purpose. Good food...

Very efficient well run service with nice tasty good value homemade food. Although the queue was long everything was well organised and the drinks and food were ready in short order. Really good Flat White with a delicious chocolate beetroot brownie. Hubby had a good...

Stopped off here for breakfast. 4 adults 2 toddlers. The whole experience was excellent. The breakfast was delicious best I’d had for a long time the staff were so polite and accommodating. Would definitely stop here again if in the area.

After an unbelievably slow trip from the Midlands pulled off the A11 and was so pleased I did. Clean facilities, welcoming, nice farm shop. Had an excellent latte and coronation chicken sandwich. Travelling solo with 2 excitable spaniels can be a bit of a challenge...

We decided to visit again for a Sunday lunch as we previously had a very good experience back in March for mothers day. The roast dinner portions are huge with plenty of meat and selection of vegetables. They also come with a big Yorkshire pudding,...

Poor food and service, Undercooked steak burger just filled with herbs, undercooked jacket potato served with a sprinkle of cheese, asked for more cheese and they said had to pay more. Very rushed service (not the younger staff, feel sorry for them). Clean toilets and...

Very good food, I had a dish off the specials list and partner had a jacket potato, both were nice and tasty. Very good staff and excellent farm shop

The experience was good with the cafe. They’ve put up a barrier. This barrier stops you from seeing the cakes until almost ordering. This isn’t helpful maybe a board saying what cakes they have. In this hot weather if you’ve got allergies or can’t manage...

Change the chairs! Great place, excellent food and service, but omg the sound of the chairs in the gazebo is like nails on a chalk board but 50 times louder!!!

During a visit in search of Mothers Day gifts, and without a reservation, we enjoyed a wonderful Sunday roast, which my partner and myself both agreed was faultless. The portion sizes were generous, hot, and tasty, our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her kids meal ( plus...

Firstly I was myself enjoying Sunday lunch yesterday and witnessed the way a customer barated the staff because there was no Roast Dinners left ( at 2pm). I’m not surprised as La Hogue Sunday lunches are extremely popular hence why most folk book or at...

We booked a table for 2pm and we’re told we’d have to have eaten by 3pm. Fair enough but a bit blunt. This wasn’t a problem though as there wasn’t any food! Initially we were told there were roast dinners. Then they came and said...

A quick stop for lunch on the way to Centre Parcs. Lovely cooked breakfasts and tasty wraps. You can also visit the lovely farm shop afterwards!

The cooked breakfast is the best around, with high quality sausage, bacon, and bread for the toast. The coffee is nice too. My only gripe is that you used to get two sausages in the big Farmer’s Breakfast and now you only get one. I...

I visited this afternoon and our group was provided with generous amounts of sandwiches, scones and delicious cakes. Since I never drink black tea, I requested lemon and ginger which was not available. The only alternative seemed to be coffee. All the tea drinkers were...

La Hogue Breakfast - very good - really tasty bacon, great homemade sausage, beans, perfectly cooked fried egg, toast - and added hash browns. Pot of tea, plenty of milk. Tables sensibly spaced - all staff in masks/shields.

We were in need of a quick lunch stop, saw the sign on the A11 and popped in. A good full menu of options, plenty of seating (this place is obviously popular with locals), and tasty food - my halloumi salad with balsamic glaze was...

Went here with a group of friends a couple of weeks ago. Ordered a cappuccino, and I could hear the woman behind the counter heating the milk, but just by the noise I knew it was overheated. When I went back to the table I...

We had Scampi and panini, both were tastless and reminded us of school dinners so didn't eat much! Shame as a lovely venue. Maybe safer with cake and coffees.

Came here enroute home . Good menu. Great staff . Plenty of seating inside/ half inside/outside.... take your pick

Absolutely love this place…food, service, atmosphere is second to none. Great place to bring the kids while having a stress free catch up with friends or family.

We stopped here as we were heading on holiday and needed breakfast, I had come off of two long night shifts and needed coffee to stay awake as I had come straight from work. The car park has plenty of disabled spaces and is spacious....

Food was good as always, we had the large breakfast and coffees. Very taste. Only negative was we had to sit in the outside new area, instead of in the restaurant which was mostly empty. We were sat down next to a table who had...

After cycling here for coffee we decided to revisit the next morning for breakfast. Delicious and presented so nicely. No grease whatsoever. Husband had farmer's breakfast and I had the traditional. Staff so friendly and service brilliant. Will return most definitely when we're back in...

I can not express enough how amazing the staff and organisation here is. In such difficult times they never cease to excel. The food as always is of great quality and plenty of choice. Every table and chair disinfected after every customer and brilliantly organised...

Great full English breakfast. Great value for money. Plate needed to be bigger to fit it all on but food and general service was great. Chairs randomly too low for the tables but didn’t matter. Great place for families an babies too. Good play area.

Very friendly welcome, good parking, spacious seating. I visited here with my daughter who uses a power chair & I need a gluten free diet, both our needs were met & we will certainly be visiting again. Thank you La Hogue.

We’ve been here a couple of times in April after the lockdown rules eased. The cooked breakfast is still great: really tasty sausage and bacon from their own butchers. The coffee is nice too, and the scones are big and tasty! The waitresses have all...

Booked table for 2 to comply with covid rules. Nice to be able to get out at last. Felt perfectly safe and great food as well. Well dons everyone at La Hogue Will come again

We were in the queue first in line waiting to be seated when a lady and grandson came in behind us, no mask and stood less than a foot from us. The lady member of staff politely asked her to step back and give us social distance. She ignored her came round us to ask if she could have a takeaway coffee again she was politely asked To step away and give social distance. She then got very stroppy and accused the member of staff of being very rude and left.....the staff have a hard time ensuring all customers are safe as it is without people being obnoxious. By the way she then went through the shop and into the cafe ..the exit way...to confront the member of staff again and accuse her of being rude, no mask and right up to her face! Times are very different for everyone and la hogue has done very well in these times to make the public feel safe and enjoy a lunch out. Well done all of you.

Me and my family went for Sunday lunch yesterday we also saw that my friends of four were there so I wanted to be able to be in the same area but I was told by a very Rude lady that we couldn’t , then I went to use the toilet I am disabled and somebody walked in the lock wasn’t easy to lock. My mother also went to the regular toilets where someone had made a mess which was rather disgusting . Are lunch had hardly cooked vegetables with it ( I like al dente vegetables but this was to the extreme) and the beef wasn’t great very thin and tasteless. I am a regular to La hogue but Normally have their lunch menus not roast dinners and i’m normally very pleased with their food and hospitality I was very very disappointed with the service and food

Went there for a coffee and a chat and wanted to sit outside - not that surprising under the current situation. But this was obviously greatly frowned upon and we were not made very welcome at all. We were allowed to have a takeaway which we consumed outside - but the coffee was more like dish water. Then, again not unsurprisingly we had to go back through the whole queuing/check-in system to use the toilets. Their COVID regime is obviously all set up, and I must admit seemed quite thorough - provided you want to use inside - which is a bit contradictory - surely they should be encouraging use of outdoor space - but no.

Friendly welcome, lovely food and quick service. Feels welcoming, despite current circumstances - La Hogue have risen to the challenge!

Great shop lots of products the Butcher is second to none we buy all our meat from here now well done ladies and gentlemen keep up the good work

This place always delivers on fantastic food, be it a simple meal, cakes or a main meal. Staff very organised a great plan to keep everyone Covid secure . Always clean and staff friendly. Has become a regular stop off if in the area.

Lovely lunch yet again. We always stop here on our way to Norfolk. The service is brilliant and the food wonderful. Currently you can’t go from restaurant to farm shop. It’s not a problem, I just hope the farm shop doesn’t suffer in trade. We always stock up on provisions when we visit.

Visited the cafe this lunchtime. La Hogue have done so well to make the cafe feel safe to visit. The range of food available is extensive and the staff who serve are so pleasant and helpful. Social distancing was not an issue. Well done La Hogue

Visited this little gem again this afternoon and was not disappointed. The farm shop has a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruit and cheeses to name some of the choices. Popped into the cafe to be greeted by a lovely member of staff and shown to our tables and enjoyed a coffee and slice of carrot and courgette cake which I believe is baked on the premises and which tasted delicious. One of reasons I am writing this review is to highlight the precautions that are taken to ensure your visit is as safe as possible, a staff member to greet you, hand gel available, all tables and chairs sanitised after each customer, one way entry and exit to name a few. We are in the vulnerable age group but feel completely as ease and comfortable! Thank you La Hogue.

Brilliant little cafe and farm shoppe. Sanitisation on site seems to be good with social distancing being observed in the restaurant. Menu is limited as most are during these strange times. Food is absolutely brilliant. Really nice & tasty. Farm shoppe has the usual faye, the butchers is very good and competitively priced.

Just returned from a lovely lunch at La Hogue after a long morning walk at Wicken Fen. We had to queue for a short time but we were soon ushered to a table. The food was served promptly and was plentiful and perfectly cooked, we will definitely be returning. I would like to comment on the review posted regarding the water issue. I can only say that I for one am glad that the staff took this stance, why would you want to make the queue even longer because someone wanted a top up of water, unbelievable!!! We found the staff extremely friendly and helpful.

I travel the length and breadth of this country for work and I have to say I try to find slightly out of the way places for breakfast rather than settle for your average services grub (appaling as usual) I stumbled across this gem and I have to say it is possibly the best breakfast I have ever had (a big well done to chefs, front of house, as well as management)It has become quite a struggle during the current global pandemic to find such rarities but by God La Hogue has surpassed all expectations. I have to say with the current climate, the set up here is fantastic in terms of social distancing, cleanliness and protection of customers. I read with some bemusement and interest the previous reviews regarding COVID related rules that this business is operating/following and wonder what type of imbecile expects water to be filled up from behind the counter from an unknown vessel during a global pandemic. The fact that the business has even thought of a suitable workaround to try and please all customers is admirable.Please guys, do try to remember, regardless of whether you are living in blissful ignorance of the impending threat of this pandemic, we are still amidst one of the biggest threats of our time. Try to respect your fellow customers and also the venues operating in these turbulent times.All in all 5 stars, excellent service, excellent food and as far as I can tell excellent anti covid procedures in place.Will be back again!

I hadn’t re-visited this place for a considerable time, all down to a miserable, rude and unprofessional member of the cafe staff. Amazing how one person can kill one’s enthusiasm for a regular watering-hole! However I was delighted with my visit for a late lunch. Queued only a few minutes on a fairly busy day. The lady managing the queue, registration etc was delightful, and totally on top of her game. We were seated promptly and nothing seemed too much trouble for anyone, just as it used to be and a sit should be! I was provided with an alternate chair as the one at the table wasn’t good for my back. The food was obviously freshly prepared to order as it came piping hot, and of the usual quality at La Hogue.I enjoyed the visit and look forward to my next, but most importantly a great big WELL DONE to the staff and everyone who has have organised the place so well.

Today, on a really hot day, after buying a lovely cake and coffee for myself and friends, i needed to get a top up of water for my bike ride home - i was told to use the outdoor tap that is usually connected to the garden hose that is being used to water their plants and probably animal feeding area - after strictly entering the premises with covid-19 restrictions, being told to hand sanitize and wait for ages and keep distances under these strict rules, which I get is the 'new normal', i am appalled that I was offered water from an outdoor tap as opposed to going back to the counter and getting water served from their main sink area and some ice- or even provide a jug of water for our table -which would have been more hygienic and nicer customer service. I was even more appalled at the customer service my party received who also needed some top up water and was told to ask me as i had just been to the outdoor tap - the staff member didn't offer to help my friend - this is like going to a restaurant and ordering food and then asking where the loo is and being told to ask your friend who's already been - very rude!! The staff member reminded me of an awkward gp receptionist and very authoritative -I felt like I walked into the wrong clinic - the social distance measures are not an excuse to treat people unkindly - in fact as we are all facing this situation - good manners and good service would be a blessing right now- and keeping a solid customer. I have been coming since 2012 and have brought lots of customers to this place. I may have to re-think!!

Lovely visit great to see all the new procedures in place to protect the customers. We felt really safe and watched everything being throughly sanitised before customers were seated. The desserts are amazing ...... WOW WOW WOW! We had the Toffee pecan Roulade and the Mars Bar cheesecake, both to die for but the Cheesecake was superb, apparently they are all made on site ...... I’m already planning another visit!! Plus the portions are huge!!!

Had breakfast here yesterday. Please read thoroughly, it's not all bad, just the bad outweighed the good this particular time. We arrived for our 9AM table, cafe wasn't ready to let us in before 9.15 A staff member insisted we use sanitiser (bactericidal - it doens't eradicate viruses) which we refused. They insisted and I refused again. 3 of the 4 of us have eczema on our hands, so we can't use it. Never eaten anywhere post-lockdown that insisted on customers using sanitiser, it has always been optional where it has been pointed out. I'm happy to wash my hands with a gentle soap, but who would eat without clean hands anyway? Give the customers some credit please. I was in Addenbrooke's A&E as well as on a ward overnight a few weeks ago and not once was I asked to use sanitiser. It's unnecessary to treat people like they're lepers.Table was sticky with sap due to the open side of the covered outdoor eating area. I expect this would not be the case on the 'wall side' of the covered area, but we were sitting next to the open side.Food arrived promptly and the waitress was very good and friendly - hash browns were excellent, as were the sausages, mushroom (although very stingy - 1 small mushroom!), and beans. The bread was good as well. The bacon was the saltiest bacon I have had in at least 20yrs. The egg yolk was absolutely tiny, it was comically small. The black pudding was absolutely terrible - really quite awful. I ordered an apple juice, which I thought was a nice cloudy natural one, but it turned out to be sickly sweet, even after I watered it down. This was a shame, because it's really not that hard ot make a good English breakfast and choose good drinks supplies. If most of the breakfast had've been as good as the sausages, it would have been excellent.We had a lovely conversation with another staff member in charge of watering the olive trees - she very friendly and genuinely interested in the customers.The playground is lovely. My kids thoroughly enjoyed it.Summary:It would be incredibly easy to make up for the things which I found to be very disappointing. It's really not that hard for all staff members to be friendly and treat customers with dignity and respect. We are not lepers. Please do not insist on the sanitiser - just make customers aware that it is available if they choose to use it. If you're going to charge £10 for a full English, I expect it to be good quality and in decent portions - the comically small egg yolk and the single mushroom were a joke, and that black pudding has GOT to go.

Went for lunch, for kids the sausages were good but chips very greasy. I had a burger, the bun was toasted so much it went rock hard, the burger was very dry and certainly wasn't premium quality. I've had far better burgers in weatherspoons for less money and a free drink.The cakes are overpriced (£5.50 a slice) I had lemon meringue pie, the slice I was served had fallen apart on the plate, the lemon curd was far too bitter, dried up and claggy.The coffee was good.

We have been eating at La Hogue over many years and the quality and service has always been maintained as they have changed and expanded. The food is great quality and reasonably priced with a fantastic selection. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's suitable for all ages and there's a nice outside play area for younger children. Cyclist friendly too with great scones!

Visited with a group of friends and I realise these are difficult circumstances to be working under but one of the members of staff was unnecessarily rude to many people which ruined the experience. All the others were doing a great job. Food was okay and service was prompt.

The cafe reopened today, 4th July, for the first time after Covid Lockdown. I was there at 9am for a delicious cooked breakfast!The staff have clearly been well-trained in the new procedures, and everything seems to have been well-thought-out. The staff were handling things in a friendly way, with good humour, and we had a very nice time. The breakfasts and the coffee were very nice. It was lovely to be able to go back there. The cakes looked great, but I was too stuffed to manage one today!

Great setting, lovely food friendly service and a fabulous selection of farm-fresh produce all locally sourced.

Great food nice shop, busy car park for a mid week lunch, clean, great service, reasonable price. Easy to find just off the A14 A11 will make this a frequent venue.

La Hogue is always busy - but the quality of the snacks make this inevitable. Perhaps a little on the pricy side, but there isn't much competition

The cooked breakfasts here are delicious. The sausage and bacon are very high quality, from their own butchers. The bread for the toast is excellent too, and the coffee is really nice. I always enjoy my food here.

We found this café by chance and how lucky we were!! We did find a table even though it was really busy. Can under stand why people book! The staff were really friendly and chatty. The food is ordered at the counter. Not a long wait for the food and when it arrived was not disappointed. Nice and hot, nicely presented and lots of it. Could not fault anything. We loved it so much we called in again for breakfast on our way home after our weekend away. Once again staff and food were great. Another visit is on our menu!!

Stopped for a break whilst driving back to London. Bought some lovely local produce and had the best homemade sausage rolls ever. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it at all. Will definitely make this a regular place to stop for coffee in the future. Well worth a visit

Heard a lot about this cafe so thought we go for lunch we all had cornation chicken wrap and chips the wrap was ok chips not so good and my grandson had macaroni cheese it was awfull we all tasted it and it had no cheese in it at all. saying that we have heard there breakfast are good so maybe we try that one day .

We saw signs for this place and decided to give it a go. It was very good. My partner had a full English breakfast and I had poached eggs on toast. We could not fault the quality. Afterwards we had a look round the farm shop which looked very good . Glad we spotted the sign!

Travelling Hertfordshire to Norfolk for a few days, stopped for a butty breakfast. The sausage and bacon butty was more than ample and for what it was, not expensive. I think they work on the idea that people, (like me anyway), are happy to pay a little more for good quality. We enjoyed it so much, we had to go off route on the way back to visit again. Was worth the detour. Had a snack with some tea/coffee and then hit the farm shop. Excellent fresh vegetables, meats and cheese. Would highly recommend. When we went, plenty of parking right outside the shop, but also appears to be plenty of overspill car parking.

We decided to travel from Hertfordshire to sample the breakfast. Yes, the yummy breakfast is back. The service was excellent. The farm opens at 9.30am on a Sunday. We arrived early and were seated in the extension. The breakfast was delicious. We shall return in February with our 20% off voucher to have a brekkie and stay for dinner. We were very impressed with the range of homemade cakes on display. We bought two scones for mum and dad which were well received. This cafe gets very busy and you may need to book your seating.
