“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
Our Story
Chris and Debbie Salter of The Poet at Matfield have embarked on a new gastronomic journey, bringing expertise in fine dining to a modern grill house; marrying exceptional flavours and attention to detail with the hearty food we have come to love and expect from open flame cooking.
Our dedicated team takes diners on a gastronomic journey that surpasses all expectations.
Story-telling is at the heart of what we do. People, cultures and culinary traditions unite in our kitchen, bringing new layers to seasonal British produce – with fire as the binding force. Through experimentation and repetition, we create dishes that embody culinary excellence. Enticing drinks, good music and warm service complete the experience.
