We arrived for Sunday lunch early and the venue was very quiet. We were seated and served in a good time. The menu had great choices and wasn't too overwhelming. The food was fantastic, you couldn't fault it. One improvement would be ro turn heating on in the toilets - it was freezing in there!! All in all, a fabulous place with great atmosphere, staff and food!

We have been to The Poet a few times now and on every occasion we have enjoyed it immensely. Tom and the team take great care to ensure that all our food requirements are met and they go above and beyond with attention to detail. The atmosphere is always convivial and the food is outstanding. There's a very nice wine list too.

Overall it was very nice but we didn’t understand why the waiter told us we couldn’t have the champagne that we had selected to have with our afternoon tea and could only have Prosecco. It was an option on the menu however, they were unable to serve it to us. The waiter mumbled something, we thought he said they couldn’t open a whole bottle of champagne for two glasses.
