The Poet at Matfield - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Desye S: Thank you to The Poet for making my 40th birthday an unforgettable experience. We came to have dinner on saturday and only had positive things to say about our evening. Amazing service. As someone with seafood allergies, I felt that the matter was taken really seriously and every dish was presented and explained to me. The staff was meticulous and attentive. The fact that restaurant called me to make sure to know everything about my allergy was already a green flag in my book and a good start. The ambiance was really nice, cosy, and class. We enjoyed every little details. The food was succulent, the portions were good and every dish were packed with flavours. Everything single one of us at the table left satisfied. Compliments to the chefs. Overall I had a really good birthday and will definitely come back.

2 /5 Bella M: Visited for Sunday roast and left a little underwhelmed. The roast beef itself was rather average – a bit flavourless and not as memorable as expected given the reputation and the price point. The atmosphere was lacking, which made the dining experience feel somewhat flat. On the positive side, the staff were genuinely lovely – attentive, welcoming, and friendly, which helped lift the overall experience. Unfortunately, given the cost, I had hoped for more in both flavour and ambiance. Overall: great service, but food and atmosphere didn’t quite justify the price.

5 /5 Neel Mavji: Had a delicious Sunday meal! The food was fantastic, and the staff were amazing - so attentive and welcoming. Always love coming here; it’s consistently a great experience.
