Traveled all the way from London and it didn’t disappoint. First impression, the place was really warm & inviting and the staffs made you feel right at home. I ordered a couple of things but the scallop with risotto really stood out. It was light and tastefully done. The millefeuille is not to be mi
Without doubt one of the best experiences myself and my friends have ever had. We booked ahead and were met with such generous and accommodating service by Tom. The drinks were amazing and the food was unreal. We will be coming back for years to come. We cannot thank the staff enough for such a wond
Nothing to fail everything to praise! First stop on our way to a short honeymoon break. We arrived hangover, exhausted but also expectant after our wedding reception the day before. I had the vegetarian options for starter and main and my husband pork cheek starter and the shoulder of lamb for main
We had a fabulous family evening out at The Poet for my 50th birthday. The whole team gave us such a warm welcome -it was a truly memorable and celebratory evening. The cocktail recommendation was delicious-a raspberry gin sour with local brands. The menu was interesting with a playful twist in the
We had a wonderful meal at The Poet for my sisters 50th birthday. Head Chef Lee and his team produced and absolutely exquisite meal. My favourites were the Carrot terrine Amuse Bouche, Asparagus starter (stole half of my husbands as it was his choice) and the Tartiflette side that came with the pork
Came here for Sunday roast and a dinner separately. Can’t fault the food! It is excellent (as much locally sourced as possible), beautifully presented and a decent selection of wines too. Definitely recommend the Sunday lunch. One thing to note is there wasn’t much in the way of vegan alternatives a
Chef Lee worked in different places before coming back to the UK. Food is above standard with reasonable price. Comfortable environment and staff are really friendly.
Stunning meal at The Poet. The new Chef Lee and manager Tom will no doubt further enhance the already excellent reputation of this restaurant! Mouth watering menu with some really creative combinations that take the dishes to another level from similar places in my opinion; and the execution was per
Went to the matfield today for a Sunday roast and we both agreed it was the best roast we've had :) the salmon starter dish unbelievable and the Mackrel starter dish also ! Soooo tasty :). The beef roast was fantastic and the chicken roast was amazing too as well as the crispy potatoes were very ver
Went for a business lunch … want an incredible day. Start to finish. The team at the The Poet are exceptional. The food was delicious and Tom advised on the wine selection to perfection- though it should have been the bottle rather than glasses (that said the cost difference is minimal). I cannot re

What a fantastic place! Beautiful old pub in Matfield serving the most delicious food. Service was kind and so professional. Loved the complimentary extras including homemade bread with the most amazing hummus dip, savoury amuse bouche and 2 different sweet ones! All the wines you could get by the g
A foodies dream! We went to celebrate a special occasion and the food was amazing. We tried the whole menu and it was exquisite. The venison and salmon were exceptional. Credit to the chef who clearly knows a thing or two about food!
Amazing gastronomical experience! We had free tasters, fresh bread with garlic houmous and falafel with some lovely sauce.
I had the loin of lamb and it was perfect at medium rare. All the sides with asparagus was great .
Then had FREE petit fours, passionfruit marshmallow on a bed of oats and s
Amazing food and service! Looking forward to go back:)
What an absolute find!!! First we were welcomed by one of the owners Tom, what a great chap, full of enthusiasm and knowledge when it came to the many local Gins, beers etc on offer. His knowledge of Whisky is second to none, and that’s before we’ve even got to the food…OMG Scallops, Haddock fish ca
What an absolutely wonderful evening, from start to finish. Could not recommend this restaurant more! All staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It’s great to see so many Kent gins and local produce being used. The knowledge of the wines and gins was impressive and there was no push to ha
