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

After years of working alongside Chef Gary Rhodes, on different continents, to create unique Afternoon Tea experiences, our Chef is putting his twist on this fine food fare for one day only, Sunday 18th August. You can expect some timeless classics, as well as some new innovative ideas with influences from East Asia, all using local produce, showcasing both creative techniques and bold flavours. We will also have England's best sparkling wine, Nyetimber, for you to enjoy if tea just won't quite cut it! Please note that this is the only menu we will serve on the day and our Sunday menu will not be available. Gluten/Dairy free not available. Vegetarian/pescatarian not available.

We are back with our 5th tasting menu containing 6 courses for just £65! Based on our love for food and wine, come and enjoy 6 courses of creative, innovative & interesting food based on our chef's careers, from England to Hong Kong! Wine pairings will be available and please note, due to the nature of this menu and our ethos here at The Poet, we will not be accommodating allergies or dietary requirements. This is the only menu for the evening.
