SUMMER STARTS AT THE GOG
As the days stretch longer and the Gog Magog Hills begin to glow green again, summer at The Gog is all about good food, relaxed gatherings and making the most of the season
W hether you’re planning an alfresco lunch on the terrace, picking up provisions for a countryside picnic or preparing for a weekend around the barbecue, The Gog has become one of Cambridge’s favourite destinations for eating, drinking and entertaining outdoors. FOOD WORTH CELEBRATING Summer begins in the farm shop with some of Britain’s finest seasonal produce arriving in-store each morning. The butchery counters are filled with barbecue-ready cuts including dry-aged steaks, marinated chicken, award-winning burgers, sausages and popular BBQ Boxes – carefully curated selections designed to take the stress out of outdoor cooking while delivering restaurant-quality results. Alongside the butchery, customers will find the best of the season across the shop and deli: English asparagus, locally grown strawberries, artisan cheeses, fresh salads, charcuterie, picnic favourites, chilled rosé and handcrafted desserts – everything you need for long lunches, relaxed evenings and effortless entertaining. THE SHACK AND TERRACE For those wanting to stay a little bit longer, The Shack cafe and terrace quietly boasts one of Cambridge’s most enjoyable outdoor dining spots. Set against panoramic countryside views, the terrace offers a relaxed but refined atmosphere where customers can enjoy breakfast, lunch, coffee or a glass of wine while watching the sun drop behind the Gog Magog Hills. The menu celebrates the same philosophy found throughout the farm
shop: exceptional ingredients, cooked simply and properly. You can expect seasonal specials, premium burgers, smoked meats, fresh salads and generous sharing plates designed for summer dining. BIG GREEN EGG SPECIALIST One of the region’s original specialists, first-time buyers and experienced outdoor cooks alike can explore the full Big Green Egg range in-store at The Gog, alongside fuels, accessories and expert advice from a team who use the products themselves. Every Egg purchased includes access to the Gog Big Green Egg Basics Class – a hands-on introduction designed to help owners master temperature control, set- up and live-fire cooking techniques. ROOTED IN THE GOG MAGOG HILLS The Bradford family have farmed the Gog Magog Hills for over a century, while The Gog itself has spent more than two decades building a reputation for exceptional food, hospitality and craftsmanship.
