Midsummer House - Cambridge

What can you say about this place besides spectacular. Obviously the food is first class but the personal service and location really top it off

Fabulous taster menu, about 18 courses that were perfectly balanced to avoid any feelings of overload. We had the 'cheaper ' wine pairing and each was seriously good. It ranks as one of the finest dining experiences ever, every course was sublime. There were 5 of us in the private dining room and I think others may find it a bit atmospherically cold, thankfully we 're a reasonably lively, not rowdy, group and it was fine. Arthur, our waiter and sommelier, was a triumph. Very expensive but when you see the detail in every course you understand why. A magnificent treat.

Heating issue was a problem. Minus degrees on Saturday with 2 babies is not acceptable, leaking from under kitchen sink…heaters were delivered that blew electricity…. I get it’s an old house but you should’ve been on the ball …. We fixed dodgy door that didn’t close in conservatory?? Leaking toilet downstairs, and had to sort out heating basically on our own…. Luckily we had blokes that could sort some stuff…. But hopefully the next family there have better luck with the heating than we did … good luck

Visited for my boyfriends, mums 70th. We had a great time. The food was obviously delicious, and the service was great. The staff were happy to take themselves not too seriously. Only criticism was that some of the servers spoke very quietly, which was tricky for those of us without perfect hearing.

A group of 12 dined in the private room. The food was exquisite, the service excellent and being in the room rounded off an excellent experience. Yes it is pricy but when you consider the effort that goes into making each individual course it really isn't unreasonable. Our vegetarians and individual preferences were well catered for.
