The Cafe at The Gog Magog in South Cambridgeshire

This is a lovely place to drop into for a coffee and a snack on a nice day. When I visited there were only 2 tables which were not outside so not ideal in poor weather, but on a warm day it is very pleasant.Hot snacks were available but I couldn’t resist a lime flavoured chocolate chip cookie with my Cappuccino. An interesting combination which seemed to work.The deli and greengrocers within the same complex were a bit on the expensive side for me but ok if you like that kind of thing.

This is based on two separate visits. Both times the opening hours were different to those stated - all information states 9am, but we have been turned away or told to wait until 10 or later on both occasions. If this is the opening time for the shop rather than the cafe, or something of that nature, this needs to be made much clearer - I am certainly not the only person to have fallen foul of this. On the first visit in earlier in the year I was rudely turned away by young staff members who gave the impression that they were annoyed to have their conversation about something on one of their phones interrupted by a customer before opening time (despite arriving after the aforementioned time stated on website and social media). I fear that they had perhaps discounted me as someone their own age on account of my college jacket, and did not give me the courtesy they might afford a more mature-looking customer. On the second occasion we arrived at around 9.45, were told to wait until 10, and then had to wait until 10.20 to finally get a coffee (which certainly wasn't worth the wait when it did arrive). There was no apology, and certainly no sense of urgency on behalf of the staff - just a complete lack of consideration! It was a cloudy and windy day, and there was a number of very elderly customers also waiting very long periods of time while standing out in these conditions, having fallen victim to the moveable opening times as well. I am generally very patient with staff at busy times and with businesses adapting to reopening, however, the cafe at the gog has been open for months, and to be having these kinds of issues is extremely disappointing. Above all, the customer service and general lack of friendly or helpful demeanour has put an end to any future attempt to go there for a positive experience. This is a real shame, as I had previously heard good things about this place and it had a solid local reputation.

Coffee had sour milk. bacon brioche was one of the worst i’ve ever eaten. £15, and had to wait 20 minutes for the privilege! my advice don’t go!

No hay ninguna advertencia sobre retrasos en la preparación de alimentos para las opciones de Take Away aquí, pero 40 minutos para servir a menos de 10 personas en una cola es ridículo.Demasiado caro, mal servicio, comida normal. El café habría estado bueno, pero estaba frío cuando la comida comenzaba a cocinarse.

Llegué y tomé un café con amigos, y pedí unos huevos Benedict. Hacía frío, los huevos estaban crudos en el medio y poco cocidos, la clara de huevo no estaba completamente coagulada alrededor de la yema y la holandesa no se había hecho fresca, estaba avinagrada y fría. El plato era desagradable y dejé tanto que mis amigos me preguntaron si todo estaba bien, realmente no sabía qué decir pero me sentí un poco avergonzado porque era bastante caro para una mala comida. El personal no pareció tener ninguna preocupación cuando despejaron nuestra mesa, pero considerando que este establecimiento tiene mucho dinero, usted obtiene una calidad razonable y la comida no fue desafortunadamente.La tienda de delicatessen y la carnicería son excelentes, y el personal es cálido y amable, pero desafortunadamente, me costaría mucho tomar algo más que café aquí.

El entorno es encantador, la tienda tiene algunos buenos artículos, algunos bastante caros dado lo que son: el mayor problema que tuve fue con mi desayuno, pedí Eggs Benedict y me consterné al descubrir que la holandesa no estaba fresca, claramente había sido calentada pero estaba frío cuando lo tuve, los huevos estaban poco cocidos y acuosos, y era tan desagradable que opté por tomar mi café en su lugar. Nadie preguntó cómo estaba mi comida, y no me gusta quejarme con alguien que no lo hizo, pero fue una decepción dado el precio.

Fui a la cafetería con un amigo y 2 niños pequeños y estaba muy ocupado como siempre. Pedí aguacate con tostadas sin los huevos esperando un pequeño descuento, pero me cobraron el precio completo, que a las 8. 50 es bastante caro incluso para Cambridge. Así que estaba bastante enojado cuando me sirvieron una rebanada de pan tostado, ¡cortado por la mitad para hacer 2 rebanadas con solo aguacate, sin aceite, sin hierbas, sin aderezo! Además, el chico de la caja tenía una demanda de grifos muy molesta para que entregaras tu dinero. Además, los cubículos del inodoro son tan pequeños que no puedes llevarte una bolsa y un niño pequeño en un cubículo sin colgar al niño sobre el inodoro y cerrar la puerta con el pie. De cualquier manera no volveré.

I went for lunch yesterday after a walk in Wandelbury. We were really hungry and ordered 2 bowls of minestrone soup and a scotch egg. The scotch egg was really nice but the soup was awful. Nothing like a proper minestrone. Just loads of spaghetti and some root vegetables. No beans or other veg in it and no Parmesan for the top.

We visited today and I had a cappuccino and a slice of chocolate cake. Both were lovely and the service was also efficient and friendly. The food menu also looked very good so we will return to try this!

Vine aquí con un amigo para un almuerzo temprano en un día laborable. Estaba bastante ocupado, pero nos sirvieron bastante rápido y el personal fue lo suficientemente amable. Ambos tuvimos la sopa del día y se sirvió con una enorme rebanada de pan y mucha mantequilla. También tuvimos el pastel de chocolate que estaba realmente delicioso. Funcionó a las 9 cada uno, que era muy razonable teniendo en cuenta la calidad.

He sido un cliente frecuente de este lugar durante más de 12 años. Hoy (domingo 8 de diciembre de 2019) decidí ir a desayunar con mi pareja. Llegamos a las 10: 20 am, empacados como de costumbre, hicimos un pedido a las 10: 40, antes de pagar me advirtió la señora detrás de la caja hasta que tengamos que esperar 20 minutos antes de que se pueda servir la comida. miró a mi esposa y ella dijo "Sí, esperemos" 30 minutos más tarde y todavía estamos esperando, pero después de 45 minutos comenzamos a sentirnos nerviosos y le preguntamos al camarero si se habían olvidado de nosotros, ella dijo que me dejara ir y check, esperamos otros 10 minutos, pero no había comida y el camarero parecía haberse olvidado de nosotros. Decidimos que ya es suficiente, nos acercamos al cajero y cortésmente dijimos "hemos esperado casi una hora, nos informaron que el tiempo de espera es de aproximadamente 20 minutos, pero queremos que nos devuelvan nuestro dinero", ni una sola disculpa de ella e inmediatamente dijimos ok, déjenme le devolví el dinero, esperé unos 3 minutos para que me devolviera el dinero y luego me pidió que me sentara y esperara para que me reembolsara la cantidad que pagué. 10 minutos después, ella vino y reembolsó el monto en efectivo y solo se disculpó por no poder reembolsarlo con tarjeta.Esta no es la primera vez que Gog nos decepciona. Hace unos meses esperamos durante años después de hacer un pedido, cuando preguntamos sobre el retraso, resultó que se habían olvidado.Otra decepción. . . . Estuvimos allí hace un año, llegamos alrededor de las 11:30. Cuando queríamos pedir comida, nos dijeron que no podíamos porque el menú del desayuno ya no se conservaba porque era tarde, dijimos, no hay problema, almorzaremos. La respuesta fue "lo siento, pero el almuerzo no se puede servir hasta las 12". Otra vez se quedó muy molesto y decepcionado "se lo mencionó al gerente, quien se disculpó y dijo que lo investigará.Odio quejarme, pero después de hoy, ¡decidí que ya es suficiente! ! ¡Nunca más me atreveré a ir a este lugar de nuevo! ! ! ! ! Un montón de otros lugares agradables en la zona.

¿Qué puedo agregar que no se haya dicho ya?La comida es buena pero el servicio es lento y malo. Fuimos el sábado por la mañana a desayunar y no fuimos los únicos que esperaron mucho tiempo. Después de esperar tanto tiempo, solo sacaron un pedido a pesar de que tanto mi esposo como yo pedimos el mismo desayuno preparado y dijimos que sacarían el otro inmediatamente, así que después de 5 minutos que estaba esperando y mi comida se estaba enfriando, comencé a comer.Realmente odio ESTO. No es agradable comer solo frente a la otra persona que está sentada mirándote, no entiendo cómo algunos lugares todavía pueden equivocarse con esta simple cosa.Además, el lugar estaba muy frío (en realidad no podía ver los radiadores en ninguna parte y el aire acondicionado, que tal vez podría apagar el cabello caliente, estaba apagado) y, de hecho, la mayoría de los clientes mantenían sus abrigos y chaquetas.¿Volvería otra vez? No, a menos que cambien y mejoren su servicio al cliente.

I called in for the first time for a coffee on a Sunday afternoon 1530 i had to wait 25 mins for a flat white and a pot of tea.

The state of their toilets are enough to put you off eating there and they are always like this. For a cafe that charges at the higher end and is always busy, they should really invest in some better toilets other than temporary loos, or at least ensure they are cleaned.

We visited here today with our 3 children & friends & their children. All were enrolled on the Chocolat Chocolat half term workshop in The Shack. We were greeted warmly & the children were seated & well looked after by the staff. There was a plentiful supply of chocolate & toppings, making the session very good value & super tasty for the kids! The session was very relaxed & the children were able to be really creative. After the session, whilst the chocolate hardened, we grabbed some delicious hot drinks from the on site cafe & had a lovely walk over the field & in the woods. A perfect autumnal afternoon, thanks!

We went to get some scotch eggs for a picnic. They were very nice but almost £4 each. That is expensive in my book. The rest of the food likewise. Good for an occasional treat. Perhaps every other year

£12.70 for two coffees (one small) and two slices of cake. Placed with no pleasantries onto an unstable table. Sugar is an additional walk to the front of the cafe. Need I say more.

I popped into The Gog to get some food for a family BBQ, the staff were all super friendly and so helpful and there’s a really good selection of meats, fish and bbq sides! I definitely recommend this place

Lovely cafe and farm shop with views over the city of Cambridge. I have returned regularly since. Highly recommended.

Menu in the cafe is mostly sandwiches and soup. Extremely limited vegetarian options. Because of this and as we more of a substantial lunch, we went elsewhere. However, the cafe looked nice. Before we left, we went to the farm shop and three of us bought honey. Didn't have enough time to look around but seems a good place to visit.

I had a lovely cheese scone in the cafe the other morning. It wasn’t busy and there were plenty of staff around but unfortunately the service was very poor. My tea arrived minus the scone and I waited for a while waiting for it to appear. When It didn’t, I went to ask for it. All I got was an ‘Oh’ from the member of staff who then went to get it. She brought it to my table and just put it down and walked away. No apology. No napkin was brought with it so I went and asked for one. Again, just a sullen look from the member of staff, so I reached over and picked up my own napkin. I then realised I had only been given one small portion of butter! I didn’t go and ask for more, I just ate half the scone and took the other half home with me. Better supervision of the staff was required that day.

On Friday night after a very tiring and stressful day at work myself and three of my colleagues decided to try the sundowner at the gog that we had been told about.It most certainly didn’t disappoint and was certainly as advertised a fantastically chilled out evening ,we had a couple of drinks and loved the music and when the sunset the evening was made perfect,we also all loved the steak rolls, we had fantastic cut of meat & plenty of it! The two guys doing the food Miles and Paul made us feel so at home and it was lovely to see them both so passionate and happy in their jobs ,we can’t wait for this Friday for our next dose of sundowners!

An amazing place just passing so though we would pop in such a nice place lovely staff great food will definitely be returning again

I recently passed The Gog on my way back from a trip to Cambridge, The staff are very friendly and trained to a high standard. The cafe serves a lovely coffee and the scotch eggs are amazing!

We've lived nearby for five years and standards have plummeted over that time. Popped in for the first time in ages today as we cycled past and were charged £18.50 for a coffee, a juice, a tiny bowl of soup and a salmon bagel which came untoasted and with no side salad as menu had promised, and about as appealing as a service station sandwich. I asked for it to at least be toasted as per the menu and it came back 2 mins later with a new half-toasted bagel and the old filling hastily scraped on to the top. With such a prime location how can they get it so wrong? The kitchen seems to be consistently overwhelmed and increasingly penny pinching.

Be careful to take a look carefully if your cutlery before eating. White bread sandwiches for 9 pounds. It is insanely ripped off

Have passed the Gog Farm Shop at Shelford Bottom many time and never gone in!

A really lovely cafe with a tempting menu and on a sunny day, a great place to sit outside to eat. I’ve visited a few times and would thoroughly recommend the pulled pork and Stilton roll, really delicious. The farm shop and butchers are well worth a nosy around too. The only thing I don’t like is the contrived way the staff dress - flat caps etc. It’s as if a Londoner or perhaps an American who has never visited the countryside has designed the outfits!

Brilliant lunch at the gog, sat outside in the sun with our dog who got his own water bowl. Felt the staff went the extra mile!

Wow, what a deli! Cheese is my favourite so we bought far too much so then bought a sausage roll for lunch. The cafe staff were all friendly and the deli staff seemed well trained and knowledgeable.

Just visited The Gog after hearing great things, and must say we were not disappointed!

I've just moved to the area and thought i'd spend my Wednesday exploring. Having walked round wandlebury I had developed an appetite. A friend recommended I visit The Gog, I wasn't disappointed.

We called in here for lunch on Fathers’ Day having found pubs completely full. We sat outside in the sun, overlooking the ripening barley field, and enjoyed terrific burgers served with coleslaw, salad and crisps. The pea and falafel burgers were moist and minty, perfectly presented - this type of burger can sometimes be dry and crumbly. The pulled brisket burger was delicious but it just might have been pulled pork? Anyway, very good to eat , beef or pork!

Just got back from the Gog Cheese Festival. The cheese was amazing and the cheese makers were so informative. Stopped for a coffee and cheese scone both of which were delicious. If passing I would recommend calling in.

We used to visit this place frequently, however in recent years it's really gone downhill.

We bought some burgers from the deli; the beef, the pork and apple, and the lamb and mint.

This cafe is situated next to Wandlebury Common and close to Cambridge's only countryside walking terrain, so great for a coffee and cake stop or light lunch. The Coffee was good and the macaroni cheese delicious.

I’ve been a regular visitor to the Gogs cafe for many years, enjoying the atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food.

Never be back again last time I came for lunch was on a Sunday I had a lovely Sunday roast beef this time I came I had a dog in the cafe the place is filthy cutlery disgusting tea pots stained food was horrid and as for the staff throwing the food at me RUDE and that was even before I got my coffee dunno what happening but something needs to change!!!!!!!!!

When visiting Cambridge for a meeting I drove to The Gog Farm Shop Cafe to grab some lunch before heading home. It's a good venue as it has its own parking and it is away from the Cambridge City centre. There are nice looking cakes (including vegan and gluten free options) as well as some other lunchtime menu options. I went for a Pulled Beef Brisket Brioche Bun which was very tasty and at £8.50 reasonably priced. It's nice to sit outside and eat if the weather is nice, as it was when I visited. Recommend a visit... The Farm Shop's have some nice produce as well.

On bank holiday Monday a friend and I went to the Café at The Gog for lunch. After reading the reviews last week I almost cancelled going but thought no lets give it a go.

Excellent farm shop and cafe on the outskirts of Cambridge.

This place is a short walk along the motorway from Wandlebury, and we were able to stock up on some fantastic cheeses for lunch. Our favourite was the Coolea, an Irish cheese that they make on site.

Coffee at the Gog is a lovely place to meet up with friends. The food is always good and fresh, and I have always found the staff very sociable. Highly recommend it.

An excellent cafe for snacks, light lunch and coffee or tea. A good place to stop but it is just a pity that the toilets fall well below the standards of everywhere else here and I very much doubt they are readily accessible for disabled customers.

One of those places that I always meant to stop at and this time I did! A lovely selection of products in the delicatessen and butchery. Do try their pork pies! The cafe is small and you may need to share a table but the staff are great and they have good gluten free options. Not the cheapest by far but worth it now and again. Oh, try the bread pudding with a little jug of single cream!

Gets away with charging extortionate prices for poorly prepped tiny portions due to the fact this place is seen as some sort of upper middle class hub....

Heard a lot about this place, happened to be driving by so popped in.

This is a lovely little spot that sells free range meats and a lots of ready made meals

Iv been to the gogs many of times for lunch but recently have seen a few changes on the menu and some exciting specials but today the gogs have done something that they should have been doing for years finally a roast dinner!!!!! A fantastic meal for a fantastic price will be returning soon for more exciting changes

I Was really looking forward to visiting here but to say I was disappointed was an understatement! Had fruit scones which were really hard and dry that you needed butter and jam to make them palatable. Latte (which I know is weak) was like milk water and even after a second shot of coffee you could only just taste it had coffee in it. Everything was dirty. Even trays they brought food out on and placed glasses top down on were disgusting and look like they’ve never been cleaned. Toilets definitely far from clean and actually felt dirty just going in. Bins over flowing on floor in toilets and coffee shop. Yet staff had time to stand around wiping nose on hand! Absolutely disgusted and definitely won’t be returning.

After a long session at local hospital it was necessary to find good coffee. Sadly not many gluten free options.

This place is awful and anyone with a little bit of self respect should really go elsewhere. I have no problem paying top money for good food and service but this place has neither. I had a pulled pork roll, and for £9.50 there was barely any pork in there, for that price I would expect a fairly full sandwich. My wife had the croque monsieur and this just a single piece of bread and then the cheese and ham ha ha what a joke - just one slice of bread for £8.50! Plus all the cutlery and drinks glasses were dirty - ah what a lovely experience. Please do yourself a favour and avoid!

As I stepped down from our newly purchased Range Rover autobiography in my Louboutin’s ,

We decided to walk from home (Stapleford) through the Magog Down and have a coffee in the cafe at the gog Magog. We both had a coffee which arrived promptly and hot - I had a salted caramel brownie and my wife had orange and polenta drizzle cake (gluten free).The cakes were very good - staff friendly and the atmosphere relaxed, a nice experience.

Nice cafe set within a farm shop a couple of miles out of Cambridge. Good choices. Sausage roll was excellent. Cake and Scone enjoyed. Good quality loose leaf tea

Usually this is lovely but revisitjf we left a little disappointed, the gog New Yorker was missing it's cheese and definitely didn't have enough pastrami! For 8.50 you'd expect a deliciously packed sandwich. I don't dig the award winning sasage rolls, they are very herby. I would go back but not reorder these items, chocolate brownie and polenta cake was delicious!

Myself, my partner and mother in law stopped here for lunch on the way back from Addenbrookes and frankly this will be the last time. This place is clearly focused on making money and not delivering any sort of value or service. Firstly we had to clear our own table after waiting for it to be cleared, so we ended up having to take it to the counter ourselves. We ordered 3 sausage rolls (£4.50 for a sausage roll with a small garnish is frankly insulting) and 3 pots of tea. The tea is, leaf tea placed inside a diffuser, which didn’t even reach the water, I complained to a staff member, and before I opened my mouth she said “we get loads of complaints about this but the management don’t do anything about it” she gave me tea bags for the pot, which, by the way, was filthy. We also ordered a sandwich which was on cheap bread with not much filling. The cutlery was dirty and really the whole experience was pretty awful. There was no manager on site to discuss our concerns with, just a young team without guidance. This was evident from the off, as they were happier having fun in the kitchen. I’m happy to pay if the offering is worth it, but sadly it isn’t here. We won’t be back.

It is really sad, we love this cafe and went there at least 8 times a year for the last 5 years.

Can you please tell me why the fruit and veg doesn’t look and taste as good as did in the past? Thank you

We have been for lunch here a few times and have always found it a very pleasant experience. However we have noticed the same issues every time we have been there, and now they are noticeable it has become annoying. They do a great selection of leaf tea but every time it is delivered there is no milk and sugar with it. If you don’t spot it immediately the staff will have left out the back and you need to wait for them to arrive back before you can ask them for it, and then to return with it again. Not ideal when you are sat outside and the tea is cooling rapidly.

This used to be a good brunch or lunch stop on the way home from Cambridge. Sadly it is no longer the place to go. We both ordered the Croque Monsieur at £8.25. What turned up was a small slice of bread cut in two with a bit of salad and coleslaw. The total cost of the raw materials could have been no more than 75p. At £8.25 it was hugely overpriced. Very disappointing. Avoid

Waited 15 minutes for overpriced pastries and cake and over 20 minutes for 3 coffees. Unlikely to return to eat or drink which is a shame as we used to be regular visitors.

We arrived on a "drive by" .. it was 70% occupied, unclear on the "system" (wait to be seated or ) so we went to the counter behind which 4 or 5 staff chatted...no response ! Looking around there were no cleared vacant tables and it looked like it had been thus for some time. So I eventually ordered tea & cake and went looking for a table and essentially moved some debris to one corner to make space. The tea arrived and we had to request the table was cleared. Not be going back ! btw the farm shop was "ok".

Nice space, good to catch up with friends but overpriced and a bit noisy. It's always very busy. It's nice but I don't think I'll be there again.

We met up with friends here for lunch.

I used to love this place. Recently they have changed and shortened the menu. I paid £8.50 for a croque monsieur- one (very) small slice of bread with a smattering of coverage. Piles of rocket to strategically fill the plate up. I honestly thought they’d forgotten to put most of the food on! It was a poor show.

Located just a mile to the east of Cambridge The Gog Farm Shop and cafe are well worth a visit. The setting is picturesque, the deli is well stocked and the cafe well above average. The butchery is outstanding and far surpasses any competitor in the area. thing. This is how a butcher's shop is supposed to be. The meat is properly prepared by skilled butchers. They are knowledgeable and take a pride in their work which is a far cry from the mediocre pre-packed supermarket meat that we have unwittingly become accustomed to. Customer service is second to none.

After hearing multiple good things about Gog Magog we thought let’s finally take a look seeing as we had a weekend together. Well safe to say we won’t be coming back. There is no nice welcome, and tables took a while to clear. After ordering something of the limited , expensive menu are food shortly arrived. We were greeted with a very small plate of food which is a disappointment when you have spent £8.50 for one piece of toast. The coffee was not hot and not once where we asked if everything was ok.

Limited choice lunch menu with boring carb/bread based options. Dull parsnip soup with doorstop bread. Very busy so I doubt the owners care much but a complete waste of a great location. Will just stick to the shop and deli next time.

I used to enjoy coming here for lunch, not any more. The last few times I’ve been it hasn’t been as good. The last time it was dire.

Went hear for lunch, we had been a few times before in the past. The food was very limited and most of it no longer home made (and tasted like it wasn't). Service OK but quality and taste of food poor.

I have been going here from Colchester regularly to go to the farm shop and get a meal for the last 7 years! Recently though the service is bad, no food is every left on the breakfast or lunch menu and coffee seems weak and lukewarm. For the price of the items on the menu the quality should be better. I wonder who is managing the cafe now?

I came here with my parents and sister for a quick brekkie. We ordered full English breakfasts which came quickly. The quality of the food was very good. Everything is clearly fresh. The sausages were delicious, the bread, lovely and the butter to die for. Price wise, it was on the pricey side and they didn't offer poached or scrambled eggs as an option, only fried. The decor was lovely and cosy and the staff, friendly. I'll be back if I'm in the area.

Delicious food, and staff are friendly. Lovely to sit outside on a beautiful summers day. Although I’ve yet to experience the Gog Magog of an evening - the bar set up looks and sounds fun.

Great food and great service! Quick snack to eat before launching into the hustle and bustle of Cambridge. Home made fare of pastries, cakes and sausage rolls looked good enough to eat, but had to know where and when to stop!

Cool wine country vibe. I went with a friend while visiting Cambridge. Such a lovely surprise for Californian to be surrounded by the wine country, fresh farm to table vibe. Great for casual dining and for picking up high quality food

Visited twice over a 4 week period.

The service was good. We had bagels with cream and salmon, which were delicious. We would certainly come back.

Visiting the cafe on Sunday it was disappointing to see such a sparse selection of savory foods on display despite it being early lunchtime. The staff all appeared young and those I spoke to displayed little interest in customers. Having queued twice for foods which then turned out to be unavailable we progressed to the Shack where choice was bizarrely limited and what we had was overpriced given the quantity, quality, (the coleslaw resembled Sainsburys basics), and the fact we were seated in a scruffy cow shed. Looking at other comments I suspect the owners don't actually view this feedback given the level of dissatisfaction and the fact we actually visited there yesterday. I would suggest, if they are selling the business, (which maybe the reason for the problems yesterday), they do so quickly whilst there is one or, if they intend to remain in place, they install some mature manager who can at least manage the young staff and be present to actually inject some level of customer attention.

Was looking forward to our second visit during the advertised cheese festival. Thought we'd have some brunch so we decided to go to the cafe first. A bit of a queue and curiously slow it was too. This prompted one particular question from both of us, given we had, like mist people, been to thousands of cafes.......what was the problem, why are we waiting so long, why are the staff in tbe background rather than serving, why are the staff looking harassed and why is there a 15 minute wait for coffee and prepared food which doesn't require heating? A complete and utter mystery, unless....Unless they had not thought about preparing for the possible increase in numbers for the "cheese festival".

My husband loves baconsandwiches rolls and baps, he doesnt get to indulge often. Ayear and a half ago we where in the area and stopped in to Gog I loved the cheeses and the ready made pies in the farm shop. My husband the bacon roll.

We have just been to the café and were looking forward to a sausage roll and a coffee.

Having been here several times and each time a memorable experience my partner and I decided to take a detour on route to Nottingham. We both had the delicious three herb and mustard scotch egg with a side serving of coleslaw, both delicious as always. Unfortunately my partner had an issue during our visit, however this was dealt with immediately and efficiently. Therefore I would really like to take this opportunity to commend the professionalism of the team. From the initial waiting staff to the proprietor, all were “top class” and what really stood out was their attentiveness and genuine care for their customers. Another great experience and very much looking forward to our return.

We went during the "cheese festival", which was very popular, but still the coffee shop was overwhelmed. It took 20 mins for our coffees to arrive, and the selection of food items wasn't that great. It would have been lovely if there had been a veggie sausage roll or scotch egg option.

We stopped here for some lunch when visiting Cambridgeshire for the first time and having come from a rural areas with many farm shops we were impressed. The cafe was lovely and the food was simple but very good. However when we went into the deli shop, the female shop assistant behind the counter had a very rude and abrupt manor and made us feel uncomfortable looking around the shop. This spoilt our experience, I would however highly recommend the visiting the cafe.

Having been to the Cafe at Gog Magog for nearly 5 years, I can honestly say I won’t be retuning. Such a shame as it is so close to my home, but every visit I make seems to be worse than the previous. It has been on a steady downward spiral for a few years now, but I think they’ve finally hit rock bottom. I went in recently for breakfast/brunch and ordered a bacon sandwich to which I was very rudely told they had run out of bacon. This was barely 11 o clock! They also didn’t have any of the savoury muffins and they only had 1 cheese scone left. The coffee was extortionate in price and came lukewarm when it eventually was served. I also had the displeasure of visiting when a group of loud, screaming children were present. In general, the whole cafe is far too noisy and the staff look permanently annoyed or irritated. In future, I will quite happily drive a little bit further to Burwash Manor or even the Waitrose cafe, both of which are reliable for good ambience, service and produce.

Gogs café has tried hard to improve its speed of service and has a delightful manager. We used to have to wait 20 minutes for coffee to reach our table. More recently, though, the service has continued to be flakey in other respects - by the time we'd finished our coffee, the cake we ordered hadn't turned up. Disappointing that the staff simply offered it as a take away after I pointed the error out. More professional set-up at the Shelford Deli, Teacake in Shepreth and the Milton Country Park Café.

We remember this place when there was just one shop and no cafe.

I live locally and each time I have gone to the Cafe at the Gog Magog has been a disappointment (an expensive one). There are many lovely places around Cambridge and surrounding areas which are far better: the Deli in Great Shelford for instance is expensive but the food is fresh, great quality and the service is quick and efficient. This is sadly not the case for the Gog Magog Cafe.

Great service and good produce. We visited the cafe and thoroughly enjoyed the sausage roll and the home baked scones. Visited the butchers on the way out and purchased to delicious steaks, would highly recommend!

We stopped in this café a few month ago for a coffee, cake and my favourite their sausage roll. All made from their own farm produce. The farm shop has a wide range of wonderful meat, cheese, veg and many, many other delights. This is a remarkable enterprise, run with energy, care and professionalism. We will be returning.

Such a lovely little visit, especially on a nice day to sit outside. The coffees are nice, but could always be a little hotter as usually only warm. Highly recommend the scotch egg, sausage roll and cheese scone. We usually get them and share between us so you can have a little bit of each. Friendly staff. A little expensive but worth it for a treat every now and then. Lovely to have a little look round the deli and butchers as well!

Goodness I pity you lot in Cambridgeshire if this is what you think a good farm shop cafe is. However, I have good news: if you ever visit other farmshops elsewhere in the country then you will be REALLY impressed!

Following a recommendation, my wife and I had our first visit yesterday and it certainly didn't disappoint. We sampled lunch in the Café; bought a selection of items in the Deli; and on entering the Butchery were given a taste of a venison stew - marvellous! We even bought a Lamb Tagine from their freezer which we ate later that evening and enjoyed a great deal. The staff were both cheerful, friendly and helpful.

There are many out of town farm type shops and cafes. I have been to some really great ones, but I'm afraid this one misses the mark. On the plus side, the carrot and courgette soup was wholesome and tasty, but couldn't actually discern the carrot, and it was accompanied by plain white bread and a frozen pat of butter that ripped the bread apart attempting to spread it (see photograph). The place was busy and staff were pleasant, but moving round at a dizzy rate of knots. When it came to the coffees, they were disappointing (and I had a coffee aficionado with me, who knew).

We tried this place for coffee and cake, both of which were superb! The ambience is also good and the service prompt and friendly, so I was inspired to do a good review on Trip Advisor. I was quite surprised to read the negative reviews; we will definitely be back, probably for a meal next time rather than just coffee.

The Gogs is a lovely little café but on a recent visit I noticed that the revised menu is extremely limited. The only choice for a lunch is a ploughman's to share, scotch egg and 2 types of soup. There was the promise of sausage rolls but would need to wait 25mins and as I was on my lunch break I didn’t have time to wait. There is an abundance of cake and good coffee/tea to choose from, but I can’t understand why they can’t add a panini or jacket potato to the menu. This place is constantly packed out so expect to wait for a seat at peak times or sit out in the cold.

Foolishly I took my daughter for a little treat on her birthday on 23rd December. We checked the website to see if the cafe was open and it appeared that it was. On arrival we discovered that only the shack was. We should have gone elsewhere. Instead I ordered two drinks, a sausage sandwich and scone. They were bought over and almost thrown onto the table. Service was non existent. The sandwich was wrapped in baco foil and the scone in a bag. The girl was very annoyed when I asked for two plates. Although there was only a few people they still managed to forget my daughters hot chocolate. For some reason the heating was not working. All in all a very miserable experience. The service used to be good but it has gone downhill.
