Join us in the Long Room on Tuesday 17 November, hosted by two-Michelin-starred chef Daniel Clifford. It promises to be another exceptional evening combining world-class dining with the unique heritage and atmosphere of the Home of Cricket.
Daniel, Chef Patron of Midsummer House in Cambridge, will return to Lord’s following his hugely successful Dining Club in 2018, creating an exclusive four-course menu with matching wines, alongside a Q&A hosted by a cricket personality.
Daniel has built a formidable reputation for his innovative yet classically grounded approach to modern British cuisine, earning widespread acclaim for his exceptional technical skill and meticulous attention to detail. His cooking is defined by a relentless pursuit of precision, a deep respect for ingredients, and a creative flair that elevates traditional flavours into refined, contemporary dishes.
At the heart of his philosophy lies a commitment to excellence, sourcing the finest seasonal produce and transforming it with clarity, balance, and sophistication to deliver truly memorable dining experiences. Every plate reflects his exacting standards and passion for pushing culinary boundaries while remaining rooted in classical technique.
In 1998, at just 25 years old, Clifford took the helm at Midsummer House in Cambridge, embarking on a journey that would see the restaurant rise to national and international prominence. Set in an elegant Victorian villa beside the River Cam, the restaurant provides a picturesque and refined setting that complements its world-class cuisine. Under his visionary leadership, it was awarded its first Michelin star in 2002, followed by a second in 2004 an achievement that firmly established it as one of the UK’s most celebrated fine dining destinations.
Beyond the kitchen, Clifford has become a prominent figure on television, most notably through his appearances on the BBC’s Great British Menu. His victory in 2012 showcased not only his culinary talent but also his ability to perform under pressure, further solidifying his reputation as one of Britain’s leading chefs. Today, he continues to inspire both diners and aspiring chefs alike, maintaining an unwavering dedication to innovation, consistency, and excellence in modern gastronomy.
Gold and Platinum packages are available, with Platinum offering the best seats in the Long Room, a pre-dinner drinks reception in the Lord’s Dressing Rooms and a VIP gift.
