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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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

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.

We always come here for a breakfast the food is always lovely and so are the staff. We went on Sunday like we always do for breakfast which we know can be busy but it still wasn’t okay for this one staff member to be rude. I was waiting in the queue which it was very loud to hear. She quietly said “who’s next” which i didn’t hear properly she then said “you with this person” I replied “no I’m not” she then went to serve the person behind me. Which I then said again “I’m not with this person.” she replied “well what is your problem then” which is no way to talk to a customer. I work in retail and I know it can be busy sometimes but that is not a way to speak to somebody you don’t know. She then carried on being rude to me whilst serving me huffing and puffing every time I ordered something. it really ruined my experience and made me think whether to come back again if that’s how customers get treated here.

Stopped off on route to thursford. Really nice atmosphere in restaurant, food was tasty and plentiful. Had 5 friends with me who were equally delighted with their meals. Had a look around Christmas barn, some beautifully crafted pieces in their, had to buy something, was very hard choosing. Farm shop was full of delicious things, some unusual, some practical. All in all a relaxing stop off for few hours, we all found it hard to leave.

We used to regularly stop here for a breakfast and to pick up scones en route to South Wootton. We had a bad experience and simply stopped visiting. Today, we arrived to a well organised cafe with the owner overseeing the ordering. Our food arrived hot and tasty. The service was excellent. We ordered two wonderful fruit scones to take home to mum and dad. We met regulars who meet up here on a weekly basis. We were very happy with the food and will return to sample the breakfast.

Not my first time here , but my first review. We booked late to have a xmas dinner with friends who had flown in from Spain. The xmas menu is great and we ordered between us 3 of the starters, baked brie lovely , prawn cocktail fresh and tasty and the poached pear with walnut and stilton lovely but a small comment a little more stilton for flavour would have been nice. The mains, beef you would be hard pressed to find in a top quality restaurant, stunning. The turkey couldn't have been any moister and scrumptious. Staff are exceptional, a lovely bunch of people who we want to apologise to for keeping them open so late chatting and catching up with our friends especially on a Sunday You are all stars, we would go back at the drop of a hat.

This is a really popular place to meet up with friends for coffee or lunch. The portions are generous and the food tasty and excellent value for money. There is a small play area for children and a well-stocked farm shop. Recommended!

Saw a sign to this cafe/farm shop on the A11 and decided to give it a try. What a find! Breakfast and coffee lovely, clean tables, impeccable service from the staff and clean toilets. Also had a Christmas barn full of Christmas goodies when we visited so as well as the farm shop, it was great to browse and shop around.
