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

As our valued guests have come to expect, our tasting menus are thoughtfully curated around a central theme, and this particular one holds special significance for our culinary team. For this menu, each of our chefs were assigned a course and challenged to develop three of their favourite dishes, from which Chef Lee carefully selected the final creations. The result is an April tasting menu that beautifully showcases the exceptional talent and creativity within our entire kitchen brigade. These tasting menus are a testament to our passion for culinary artistry, and this iteration exemplifies that commitment. Beneath each course, you will find the name of the chef who crafted the dish, celebrating their individual contributions to this memorable dining experience.
