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

Introducing our very first Vegetarian Tasting Menu! We know our usual tasting menus don't cater for vegetarians, so we’ve created a special menu for those who don’t usually get the chance to join us. While this menu doesn’t include ingredients like scallops, salmon, venison, black pudding, halibut, or lamb, it’s still packed with exciting, innovative, and delicious flavours. Please note that this will be the only menu available during this event, and we are unable to accommodate allergies or dietary modifications. These dishes are vegetarian but not vegan, as we do not cater to the vegan diet.

Limited availability—book now for a truly special experience. As always, we will only be serving our tasting menu and we will not be able to cater for allergies or dietary requirements.
