Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea at the Savoy - beautiful festive atmosphere. Staff were extremely welcoming, helpful, kind and did their utmost to make it a wonderful experience. From the doormen to the waiters assigned to us, everyone worked to the highest standards of professionalism. The pianist was amazing too.

Nice and quiet, which is what we like. A little bit slow waiting for dessert. Food was lovely, but I thought slightly overpriced. Not a lot of choice for mains, I think 4 plus 1 special which was a steak. The staff were first class, and very obliging. We would go back, and do recommend it.

About the restaurant

Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill honour the Brazilian Gaúcho’s traditional method of cooking. This involves taking the most delicious and flavoursome cuts of meat, which are then skewered and cooked slowly on open flames.
This method of cooking also means that all the meat served to you fresh at your table, straight from the grill. You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different!
We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

The staff were so attentive and quick. The food was amazing, the steaks melted in my mouth and the place is very restful.

About the restaurant

The Poet offers an informal yet refined dining experience in the heart of the Kent countryside. Set in a charismatic 16th century building, diners can expect food of the highest standards, made using the finest local and seasonal produce and lovingly prepared by a small team of chefs led by Head Chef & Director Lee Adams.

In addition to the food, we offer a selection of fine wines, quirky cocktails, and have a collection of over 25 craft gins available.

World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon lived in Matfield and is the inspiration behind our name. Sassoon was awarded the Military Cross for "conspicuous gallantry" and later won acclaim for his writing. We're pretty sure he would have loved our food too!

A warm welcome awaits diners from front of house manager and Director Tom Haacke and his team. We look forward to seeing you!
