Default Can I cut back Cucumber Plant?

Hi,

I have a cucumber plant growing in a large pot in the conservatory, it
is about 7 foot high and has about 14 cucumbers on. However its
starting to take over, I dont know if it will survive outside so - can
I call it a day and nip the top off the plant and be happy with what
fruit I have ?

Many Thanks

Rick

Simple answer is yes, I have done this and in fact in some cases got more
cucumbers on side shoots.
