Local Highlight: Midsummer House 

Here at Rutherford’s we love supporting and working with local businesses and we’re delighted to endorse Midsummer House – a 2 Michelin Star restaurant in the heart of Cambridge. A 15-minute walk along the river from our Punt Station, the restaurant offers haute-cuisine, fine dining and a world-beating selection of wines. Fronted by world-renowned chef Daniel Clifford (as seen on Masterchef), Midsummer House has an ever-changing seasonal menu that is sure to blow even the biggest foodies’ minds!

The comfortable Victorian villa stands with its back to the River Cam and looks out on the grazing cows of Midsummer Common from the front. The dining room, situated in the conservatory, is the perfect combination of formal and informal – an intimate environment with a friendly atmosphere. A window to the kitchen opens onto the action, where Clifford, along with the team, are busy constructing precise, thoughtful dishes delivered via a tasting menu and a lunch menu from Wednesday to Saturday.

Why not book yourselves into the luxurious setting of Midsummer House in the heart of beautiful Cambridge right next to the River Cam, and then take a short walk down the river to join us on a Punting Tour to see the heart of the University of Cambridge in all its beauty.
