Lot 25 in South Cambridgeshire

Well what can I say, Fantastic Breakfast cooked to perfection, all a staff are amazing and extremely polite can’t wait to go back to Lot 25

We booked the Barn at Lot-25 for a pre-wedding event. Nikos and the Team could not have done any more for us, they were fantastic from start to finish! Having only tried the cafe for tea and pastries we were really not sure whether the venue was going to be suitable for a large party with specific dietry requirements but Chef Hayley did not disappoint. She was able to source specific meats due to religious requirements, catered for allergies and put together a fabulous asian/arabic inspired menu that had our guests coming back for more. We had so many compliments on the location, venue and food. I would highly recommend Lot-25 for any event. They are so accomodating and will listen to your requests - we will certainly be going back for future events.

We were recommended to visit by a friend and as we are not local we would never have known of its existence . We were greeted with a very friendly welcome and whilst we hadn’t booked we were sat at a table promptly. The service was excellent as was the food. My oat latte tasted amazing as did the cooked breakfast. It was presented nicely and piping hot. Would definitely visit again as the Sunday lunch menu looked great.

Very disappointed this time round ☹️ After having a lovely Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago we happily took our friends with us for Sunday lunch, after having raved about how nice it was. To start with, when we arrived, even though I had booked a table, nobody seemed to know were we were sitting. None of the staff appeared to know what they were supposed to be doing. Very disappointed with the food. Three of us had the beef which was fatty & chewy. The vegetables were hard. I asked for extra gravy & when it arrived it was like brown water. Not very nice at all As I live in Willingham I go to Lot 25 quite a lot in the week for coffee, & sometimes lunch & have never had an experience like this. Our friends weren’t impressed & I was a little embarrassed as we had recommended it. Hopefully they were having an “off day”. It’s a shame as I’ve been put off going back there on a Sunday.

Amazing food and staff were very friendly. Lovely setting and atmosphere. We had the roast and it was incredible. Would highly recommend to everyone. The BEST cafe I’ve been to.

Four of us tried the breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We had a variety of the cooked breakfast, eggs Benedict and pancakes with bacon. All was very pleasant and the setting was very tidy, fresh and clean. It was quite busy for a Sunday morning which probably tells you all you need to know. Lost of on site parking. Would we return, yes.

Was a brilliant breakfast with brilliant service alongside! Nettie, who served us, was absolutely lovely and dealt with any irrelevant questions excellently.

A lovely surprise excellent food all fresh and tastes delicious served by lovely friendly staff and it was incredibly clean. Lovely outdoor furniture shop all good quality with excellent help.

Such a bright and cheerful cafe. The staff are so friendly and service is great. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here will definitely be going again.

Return visitors. Sadly disappointed on this occasion and unlikely to go back. Went for brunch. First two items we ordered were off the menu. We then waited 55 minutes for our orders to arrive. No apology or update. When I complained they replied that the kitchen was very busy…..not surprising given they have increased their capacity but apparently not their capability to manage it! Food was not very good. After such a long wait, one order was actually wrong and had to go back. One of us had American pancakes - he said they tasted like something out of a packet. Lot 25 you are getting too big for your boots and it shows!

Took my elderly mum out for lunch. We had ploughman's and quiche. The food was fresh and tasty. Lovely to be able to sit on the lovely patio. Perfect 👌

I have dined here a few times because of the lovely food. Today the food was just as good. Stilton and walnut salad 🥗 unbelievably nice. But, the service, where to start. We stood at the door eventually I had to ask if we just find a table or wait. Find a table I was told, no problem. On finding a table we then sat, it was uncleared and sticky. Or though servers kept going past serving other people the table remained uncleared. Our server came after partner flagged him down, took our order and left. Table still uncleared. My drink 🍺 turned up, but my partners didn’t until we chased it. I had to ask for the Table to be cleared it was, but wasn’t wiped down so it remained sticky. My partners drink finally showed. When the food came it was placed on our table and we had to ask her for cutlery. there was no cutlery, we waited….waited and asked had to ask another server who got some. The first one finally came and I said sorry but we have been sorted now. Thing is I will go back because I love the food and ambience and I’d delete this if it’s changed. Basics of clearing away, tuning up with drinks at the same time. Serving food then walking off leaving no cutlery. Checking everything was ok. Is just basic stuff.

We’ve eaten here a few times in the last couple of weeks and each time has been an absolute delight. The Sunday brunch is very tasty and the lunch menu is great too. As far the cakes, outstanding!!! We were served by Nettie and each time nothing was too much trouble and such a lovely lady. Thank you Nettie you are a star!!!

Nobody acknowledged us upon arrival. We waited patiently to receive some service but staff just passed us by without eye contact or any polite gesture. Eventually I asked whether it would be possible to get some service. The response was unwelcoming, unhelpful and brusque . We left preferring to spend our money somewhere we felt welcome.

I have had very good food here before but today I was served a beef sandwich which was so full of fat and gristle that it was inedible. I complained and was given more beef which was equally inedible and was offered no more than the refund of the price of my coffee. I expressed my dissatisfaction but was told that was all they could do. I cannot believe that I was required to pay for inedible food This was in addition to being charged for coleslaw that was part of the meal Very poor

My friend and I visited Lot 25 recently. We are regular visitors , the setting is beautiful. Again in this visit, we noticed how understaffed Lot 25 is. But we received a warm, friendly welcome from Neave. She was wonderful . Despite being so busy, she was helpful and efficient- thanks Neave. The salads were delicious and so was the wine !

Lot 25 -- great indoor and outdoor cafe for a day out, browsing vintage auctions & garden furniture, BBQ outdoor bar ideas.

The service provided by Freya was exquisite. The best I have received in a rather astonishing long time and one which I will rather recommend to my fellow companions. Top marks Freya! You deserve a pay rise for your attentiveness to our table and your warm welcome to lot 25.

Can highly recommend Lot 25! Very lucky to taste the new menu and i wasn't disappointed! Warm surroundings, friendly staff who go above and beyond to make your visit a memorable one! I had the 'Clean' Raspberry gin with the lemon tonic which was delightful!...

Lot 25 is beautiful, well organised and so welcoming. I visited twice in August with friends and the whole experience from pre booking to walking out at the end of the evening was perfect. The drinks are reasonably priced and so are the nibbles which...
