    Everything you would expect from a high end restaurant. Attention to detail, exquisite food, fabulous service from Liam in particular. Celebrating a 60th birthday with friends and family and had an enjoyable evening to remember. Thank you.

    Overall this was a very good and classic fine dining experience, the only complaint would be that the courses came a bit too quickly, a little more time to savor and digest each course would have been nicer .

    We’ve eaten in many Michelin Star restaurants over the years and this is up with the best. The food is fantastic and service is second to none. The decor and crockery are simply wonderful. Highly recommended place to eat.

    Been waiting to dine at Midsummer House for years. My daughter’s 30th birthday was the occasion. I’m no stranger to the wonderful experience of fine dining but MH had some very nice touches - being greeted at the gate, before one even got to the door, by name, the history behind the champagne being poured, every member of staff greeting you as you walked to your table. And more. The menu, as one would expect was sublime. Each course arrived with spot-on perfection regarding presentation, taste and texture. I personally wasn’t a fan of the frogs legs but what a way to try them! The wine pairing was thoughtful and delicious. We left feeling extremely full and thoroughly well looked after. I’ve already reached out to some friends who I know have been looking for an excuse to visit to encourage them to do so.
