Get in quick before it gets a star.

Service- relaxed but very professional
Drink - well recommended
Food - for £100 a head in London easily.

Seriously superb food. The dishes take you on a journey the team design and deliver on.

Went for a birthday, will now “have to go back” to regularly check quality.

I came here for an anniversary meal and it didn't disappoint. Don't let the exterior pub-like look fool you. On the inside, it's a fine dining experience. Incredible food and service. The only reason it gets 3 stars for the atmosphere is because we went on a Monday which was very quiet. Will definitely be back for the tasting night which sounded excellent.

Our favourite spot in Kent!
The Poet is consistently excellent: wonderful service, superb quality dishes
The menu changes periodically depending on local produce availability, but is always exquisite, a real treat every time we go.

I love that they offer a dog friendly table in the bar (if you ring ahead to book, and your doggo is well behaved)

Garden is also lovely for a drink before/after food inside 👌
Highly recommend.

Attended last night for birthday surprise and wasn't disappointed. The staff were very attentive throughout the evening.
Head Chef Lee has created a menu which is a delight.
The menu to make a decision which of the 5 starters & 6 mains to choice was extremely hard as I could and was tempted to have one of each.
The food was as good as u can get the flavours were exquisite.
The pairing of wine is a great idea.
You will not be disappointed in booking here.
Will be returning.

Overall a great experience and to be repeated many times more.
