Midsummer House is now in its third decade, and at the heart, it is led by Daniel Clifford's delicious, modern British cooking. For over twenty years, the team's passion and creativity have moulded Midsummer House into a pretty spectacular venue that provides a lovely event space, ready to showcase the finest seasonal produce that the area has to offer, along with a dining experience of the highest quality. Daniel opened the restaurant in 1998, and since then, the building has seen many upgrades and refurbishments, to make it a world class space that can host 14 tables in the main house, and with an open plan conservatory that has three parts. The Victorian villa looks out onto the Midsummer Common and over the River Cam, making it a divine choice for those who want their event to be surrounded by beautiful views.
For those who are looking for exclusive event hire, Midsummer House is available and can offer you and your guests a completely bespoke setting for any kind of event – whether it is an anniversary, corporate event, private birthday party or wedding reception that you're looking to book. There is a beautiful, very elegant dining space that can accommodate up to 40 guests for a seated lunch or dinner, as food really is at the heart of Midsummer.
If it's more of a private dining experience you're looking for, the team can help you there, too. On the first floor, you'll find a private dining room that overlooks the green spaces outside, and here, between seven and 12 guests can be accommodated four days a week for lunch or dinner. This intimate setting and service offers either a five course set menu or a full tasting menu.
