Creative Cooks & Caterers

Klose & Soan is a restaurant, wine bar, events space, and catering company based in Deptford, South East London.

Founded by Matt Klose and Sam Soan, the business has always been rooted in generous hospitality, seasonal cooking, thoughtful wine, and creating spaces for people to gather together.

Today, Klose & Soan is led by Matt Klose alongside a close-knit team of chefs, event managers, and long-standing collaborators working on both the restaurant and catering projects.

Our ethos is simple: to pay respect to the ingredient and allow its flavour to speak for itself. Influenced by the convivial and generous spirit of Mediterranean hospitality, our approach is unfussy, seasonal, and inclusive — creating thoughtful experiences that feel warm, personal, and welcoming to all.

Whether in our dining room, at a wedding feast, or gathered around a long shared table at one of our affiliated London venues, we approach every event with the same care and attention to detail.

From abundant feasts and sharing menus to canapés, bowl food, and more intimate gatherings, we work closely with our clients to shape food and service around each occasion.

We remain committed to sustainability, seasonality, and sourcing locally wherever possible — supporting small producers, independent creatives, and paying all staff at least the London Living Wage.

RESTAURANT

Alongside our catering and events work, Klose & Soan operates an intimate neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar in Deptford.

The space moves with the seasons — weekly changing menus, organic and biodynamic wines, rotating exhibitions, and a calendar of creative gatherings, tastings, and collaborations.

The dining room features permanent works by Will Klose, while the front bar and gallery space hosts changing exhibitions from artists and makers connected to South East London and beyond.

At the centre of it all is a simple belief in good food, thoughtful wine, and creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to slow down and stay awhile.

CATERING

Klose & Soan Catering is led by founder and chef Matt Klose, working alongside an experienced core team and a trusted network of chefs, front of house professionals, sommeliers, and event managers who regularly collaborate with us across weddings, private events, and large-scale gatherings.

This flexible structure allows us to carefully assemble the right team for each event while maintaining the warm, attentive, and relaxed style of hospitality that defines Klose & Soan.

Our events are supported by a trusted group of professionals we have worked alongside for years across restaurants, weddings, supper clubs, festivals, and private events.
