MIDSUMMERHOUSE
Midsummer House is a
Victorian villa built beside the
banks of the River Cam and
on Midsummer Common in
the historic university city of
Cambridge. In October 2015,
head chef Daniel Clifford was
awarded the prestigious award
of Chefs Chef of the Year at the
2015/16 AA awards held at the
Grosvenor House Hotel. Daniel
Clifford was praised for turning
Midsummer House into one of
the country’s finest restaurants,
while being an “inspiration to
so many chefs at all levels”.
The River Cam plays a large
part in the restaurant’s history
and today the stretch of river
outside Midsummer House,
used heavily for the College
and University rowing clubs, is
a hive of activity for diners to
soak up as they enjoy drinks
in the upstairs bar area. The
iconic apple trees in the kitchen
garden also have history, with
Daniel Clifford featuring them
in the restaurant’s signature
dish. The scallop, truffle and
apple concoction features on
the menu all year round. Over
the years the style of food has
developed, but the techniques
and passion that infuse
every dish to reach the pass
at Midsummer House have
remained the same.
