The Poet at Matfield

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

Join us for our second Summer Afternoon Tea at The Poet, following the resounding success of last August’s event! This time, we’ve infused the menu with the iconic flavors of Wimbledon, your favorite tennis championship. We host only two Afternoon Teas each year—one in summer and one in winter—so secure your table while spots last! Please note, this is our exclusive menu for the day, and we are unable to accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions.

We are thrilled to announce our next tasting menu, a celebration of the vibrant and bountiful flavors of summer! Instead of partnering with a single company, we’ve chosen to collaborate with the rich offerings of our region’s local farms and producers. This menu showcases the freshest seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully curated to highlight the essence of summer through bold, innovative, and delightful flavor combinations. Each dish is designed to capture the warmth and abundance of the season, blending time-honored techniques with creative twists that will surprise and delight your palate. Join us for an unforgettable culinary journey that celebrates the best of summer’s harvest! As always, this is the only menu we will be serving for the day and we will not be catering for allergies.
