Our Story

Soho was inspired by the energy and character of London's vibrant Soho district, a place known for its mix of food, drink and late-night culture. We brought that influence to Christchurch, creating a venue that brings together restaurant, bar and rooftop terrace under one roof.

Designed as a social space from day to night, Soho moves from coffee and relaxed dining through to cocktails, DJs and weekends that run late. It's a simple idea: good food, good drinks and place that naturally comes alive as the day goes on.
