We went to the Tuesday night Steak Night and it didn?t disappoint. Beautiful building, friendly and attentive staff and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be going back to The Poet and taking friends with us

The Sunday roast was delicious, the scallops starter and bergamot lemon curd mess were both unreal!
Tom was so knowledgeable and had great recommendations.

Truly, outrageously good. Randomly came on the way back to London from Kent. Will return.

We celebrated my wife's birthday at the Poet's private wone cellar tasting last night, and we had the perfect evening.
Interesting wines paired with wonderful food dishes, together with informative and fun commentaries on each of the wines led to a fabulous evening. Thank you to all of the superb staff who made our evening special

Bit on the expensive side but lovely, portions small. The service was brilliant.

Celebrated my 40th here and have no complaints. They catered for all 12 of us (including 3 children and someone requiring gluten free). Everything was excellent. A few around the table said the scallop starter and trout mains were the best cooked scallops and trout they?d ever had!
We?ve been to a few Michelin star restaurants and this is as close as you can get without a star (imo)

A spectacular experience! We came here for our 6th anniversary and could not have been happier. We have been fortunate enough to be able to eat at some of the finest restaurants in Kent and the food at The Poet is easily as good as any and the experience is better than most.
Would 100% recommend regardless of the occasion.

Consistently excellent. Great service from the team every time and a thoroughly well thought out, exceptional menu. The roast Venison is insanely delicious.

Hard to find exceptional food and service these days; we had a meal today at The Poet which was very, very good.
Nothing average about it - 10/10
