    A lovely meal, with some really interesting (and tasty!) combinations. There was a real feel that everything had been made with care and attention. The team quite were busy and seemed to be rushing between tables which was a shame as it impacted on some of the course descriptions. Wine pairings were a delight, really helped make the meals and our sommeliers were very helpful and friendly.

    Unbelievable food. An amazing experience. So many flavours and intriguing combinations. It’s very very expensive but as a treat unsurpassable. Great setting, service impeccable. Thoroughly recommended

    Midsummer House is absolutely outstanding for food, service and the staff introduced all the dishes, educated on the champagne and wine. The kitchen tour was awesome and meeting Daniel Clifford was an honour. I strongly recommend Midsummer House for an unforgettable culinary experience.. Regards, David and Zach Robertson

    This was our fourth visit to Midsummer House. We found the dining experience very pleasurable. This was to celebrate our younger daughters 20th birthday and enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the place. We loved all the well curated dishes, the amuse - bouche's were creative, fun and delivered a splendid sensory experience. The following courses were lovely too but the star was the coconut parfait. It is a superb creation and the elements of this complex dessert delivers a punch. A must try before the menu changes! Loved the way the apples were incorporated into the menu too.
