Über dieses Restaurant

Besondere Anlässe
Bezaubernd
Nachbarschafts-Restaurant

The Poet offers an informal yet refined dining experience in the heart of the Kent countryside. Set in a charismatic 16th century building, diners can expect food of the highest standards, made using the finest local and seasonal produce and lovingly prepared by a small team of chefs led by Head Chef & Director Lee Adams.

In addition to the food, we offer a selection of fine wines, quirky cocktails, and have a collection of over 25 craft gins available.

World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon lived in Matfield and is the inspiration behind our name. Sassoon was awarded the Military Cross for "conspicuous gallantry" and later won acclaim for his writing. We're pretty sure he would have loved our food too!

A warm welcome awaits diners from General Manager and Director Tom Haacke and his team. We look forward to seeing you!

Please be aware we do not cater for the vegan diet.

Late cancellations - £20 per person.

Tuesday Night Steak Night
Mehrere Termine verfügbar
At The Poet we use an array of techniques in order to give the best possible flavour and texture to different cuts of beef sourced from all over Britain. Our in-house dry-ageing chamber holds varying cuts of different ages, giving us flexibility with our menus and pricing, to curate an experience well worthy of a visit. Seasonal offerings such as aged wild boar loin or venison haunch, could be sharing a menu with aged Scotch beef sirloin, or smoked hanger steak, all cooked in our 300-degree charcoal oven. The steaks on offer are served alongside seasonal vegetables, local potato preparations and sauces tailor-made to complement the flavours of the steaks available on that day. Prices range from £34.95 - £94.95

Tasting Menu #14 - The Poets Private Wine Cellar
150,00 £ pro Person
Nur 13. Juni 2025
We’ve flipped the tasting menu concept on its head. This ones different.  Forget the classic approach where wine plays second fiddle to food. Here, the wine takes centre stage, with exquisite food pairings crafted to elevate each pour. Expect nostalgia, excitement, and cherished memories—all woven into one unforgettable evening. My cellar isn’t just Bordeaux and Burgundy. This menu will introduce you to hidden gems, (hopefully) shatter preconceptions, and unlock new ways to savour remarkable wines, all at a refreshingly accessible price.

Such a beautiful venue and the food is outstanding. Our waitress was lovely and extremely efficient. The lunch set menu was very good value and although we swapped a little with the Al la carte everything was truly outstanding. It’s great that it’s open on a Monday too when so many others are closed. Will definitely not leave it so long to revisit. Highly recommend. 5 stars all round!

We've just thoroughly enjoyed a rather special Easter Sunday lunch at this wonderful local restaurant. From the moment we arrived we felt cosseted and welcome by Tom and his superb front of house team. The atmosphere is relaxed yet professional and it's fun to be there. The lunch was delicious - we both chose the Orkney scallop starter which was cooked to perfection, and Maggie's fillet of beef and my belly pork main with all the tasty trimmings was a credit to Lee Adams and his kitchen team. With no room for desserts we could only look with regret to those guests who had saved space for one of Lee's specialities! The wine list is very good too with something to complement every dish and palate. This is a delightful place!

We love the roasts here but today the lamb was overcooked and bland and a £5 supplement for the Pork? Vegetables and gravy both delicious - not enough potatoes. Ambience always great - front of house a little OTT for some of our party.
