Dear Friends,

We’ve been trying to find the right words for this one, and it’s taken some time.

So, here we go…

Klose & Soan has come to the end of its time as a restaurant. We paused the kitchen over the summer and have now made the difficult decision that regular restaurant service will not return.

Since opening in 2022, we’ve cooked through busy services and quiet ones, put on exhibitions, poured countless glasses of w**e and served more steak, fries and panisses than we could possibly count. We’ve watched strangers become regulars and regulars become friends.

Through the changes and difficult decisions behind the scenes, you kept showing up. You booked tables, brought someone new, came in for a glass and sent us kind messages.

Thank you.

To our front-of-house managers and team, our kitchen team, and the wider crew of suppliers, producers, makers, musicians and artists: thank you for the care, humour, hard work and generosity you gave this place.

This restaurant was never the work of one person. It was built slowly, collectively and with the help of many hands.

We’ll miss the rhythm of service, the clatter and the quiet moments, and seeing your faces across the tables.

But there’s more to share.

Klose & Soan Catering continues, with Matt and our close-knit team cooking from the kitchen at 209 and beyond. We’ll keep making generous, seasonal food and offering the warm, attentive hospitality you know us for. Christmas bookings are open, and we’d love to hear about your plans.

There’s a new chapter ahead for the space later in the season, too. We’ll share more when the time is right.

We’re also excited to see Phoebe and Becki’s community-led creative project, ToGather Deptford , grow through food, art, conversation and shared experiences.

We hope to see familiar faces at future tables, here in Deptford or somewhere new.

For now, thank you for making room for us in your lives, and for making Klose & Soan such a meaningful part of ours.

With love and gratitude,

Matt and the Klose & Soan team

Last week marked the end of our food service for the summer, and what a week it was. ☀️

Despite the soaring temperatures, we were thrilled to have so many of our community pop by. Thank you to everyone who booked a table, dropped in for a drink, brought friends and family, shared kind words, or simply chose to spend an evening with us. It meant the world.

While the kitchen takes a well-earned summer pause, the space begins a new season.

will be spending the summer doing what he loves with from weddings and long-table feasts to private dinners, celebrations and events. So if you’re already missing a little Klose & Soan magic (or the panisse…), we’d love to bring it to you this summer.

Meanwhile, we’re handing over the front of house to Phoebe and Becki as they welcome into the space. For the next two months, the restaurant transforms into a neighbourhood w**e bar, w**e shop and creative gathering space, somewhere to drop in for a beautiful bottle, a perfectly made cocktail, something delicious to snack on, DJs, conversation and a calendar full of curated pop-ups and events.

The shelves are filled with organic and natural w**es from our favourite local importers Under the Bonnet W**es and Theatre of W**e alongside classic cocktails, alcohol-free drinks and a programme built around the simple idea of creating reasons to gather.

They are soft launching this week, Wednesday–Saturday.

Wednesday: Opening Night

Friday: returns with tarot readings alongside the bar.

Thursday & Saturday: Drop in for drinks, snacks and settle into the space.

Across the summer, will be welcoming an incredible community of collaborators, including bigvalrip Olympus Jones ⛰️ Dirty Apron Mike Oughton Ben Graville Intervallo Lò Việt pearofpickles Upside Down Records Daisy Henderson and many more.

Whether you join us for a quick glass after work, stay all evening for the music, book Matt and the catering team for your summer celebration, or simply pop in to see how the space is evolving, we’d love to see you. 🫶🏽🌞💫

Heatwave, you say? We’ve got you. 🌞

As you’d expect, we’ve seen bookings slow down and have had several cancellations this week. But with it being our final week of food service before the kitchen takes a summer pause and notches it up a gear with we’d love to share this last menu with as many of you as possible.

So, if you’re in the neighbourhood and fancy a little break from the heat, there’s plenty of room.

Pop in for a few snacks, a final cloud of Panisse, stunning Brown Crab on Toast, Burnt Fennel, Leek, Orange & Samphire, or the most perfect San Marzano Tomatoes & Flat Peach Panzanella with Basil are just a few plates to enjoy.

Perhaps a chilled glass of orange w**e, a perfectly stirred Negroni, or an ice-cold grapefruit soda could tempt you further?

We’ve even enlisted a few fans and bowls of ice to keep the air moving and the room feeling as cool as possible!🤗🧊

We can’t wait to see you!

Two weeks ago, we welcomed Daisy Henderson to our gallery walls in an explosion of colour, texture and light.

Her large-scale works have transformed the space, wrapping our front bar in glowing neons, layered surfaces and all the feelings of the bright summer ahead.

The opening night was such a beautiful one — friends, family and familiar faces gathered together to celebrate and show love for the incredibly talented and endlessly effervescent Daisy Henderson . There was w**e flowing, conversations unfolding, and a real sense of joy in the room.

If you haven’t made it down to see the exhibition yet, there’s still plenty of time. COLOUR CONTEXT will remain on our walls until Saturday 11th July, carrying us through this final chapter of Klose & Soan and into the next season with

Join us over the next few weeks Thursday-Saturday, 5:30-10pm.

We can’t wait to see you.

We’re stepping boldly into our summer season next week with the opening of a new exhibition, COLOUR CONTEXT, from South East London artist

Large-scale works, bold colour, layered textures and shifting surfaces will settle into our front bar just as summer begins to arrive properly.

Join us on Wednesday 4th June for the opening night. A vibe-filled evening of art, w**e, conversation, and the familiar rhythms of the space as the light stretches a little longer into the night.

The bar will be flowing and the room full of new energy… we honestly can’t wait to share this one with you.

More details over on the blog.

We can’t wait to see you there!

We’re having a little shift in rhythm at Klose & Soan.

As many of you know, we also have , and this summer is growing into a busy season of weddings, events and projects beyond the space. Because of that, our restaurant kitchen will pause from 27th June for the summer months.

So until the end of June, this is your last chance (for now) to experience Klose & Soan in its current form, seasonal plates coming from the kitchen, beautiful w**es flowing, and the whole team doing what we’ve always loved most: feeding people well and creating space to gather.

But this isn’t the end.

Over the summer, Phoebe and Becki will take over the front of house with a new pop-up project:

The space will shift into a looser, more community-led rhythm of w**e evenings, exhibitions, creative gatherings, workshops, daytime happenings, pop-up kitchens, private hire and a little late-night bar energy. All shaped around connection, collaboration and bringing people together in the ways we love most.

There’s still lots to come before then, and even more we can’t wait to share with you. A new June exhibition from launching next week, and some new bar offerings to tempt you all in on the balmy summer nights, to name a few!

For now though, we’d love to have you spend the coming weeks with us and enjoy the food that our community has come to know and love.

Book a table, drink a glass, stay a little longer than planned. We’d really love to see you before this next chapter begins!

Big Love Alway
