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 on Christmas Day for a fantastic 4-course menu using delicious local ingredients as well as some more luxurious ones! Lovingly prepared by our team of Chefs who have worked in Michelin-starred establishments all over the world, this isn’t your usual Christmas fare, but with prestige ingredients such as Orkney scallops, local trout, turkey thighs, figs, caviar, artichokes and decadent WEISS chocolate paired with rum and salted caramel, it’s a Christmas event that’s not to be missed. Due to the ethos of The Poet, we will not be catering for the following allergies: Alcohol, Onion, Garlic, Salt or pepper. We will not be catering for the vegan diet. Please DO NOT book if you are allergic to any of the above.

Our next 6-course tasting menu sees us joining forces with Cast Iron Coffee Roasters, an exceptional speciality coffee roastery based in Chichester. Expect new, exciting, innovative dishes that bring the science of pairing flavours together. Chef Lee loves coffee and Tom spent 8 years working in the Coffee Industry so this will be a lot of fun. There will, of course, be wine pairings to add to your experience. As usual, we will not be accommodating allergies or dietary requirements for this tasting menu.
