OUR CAUSE//

Soho Food Feast has been supporting the Soho Parish primary school for the last fourteen years, with 2024 being our twelth year running ( We had a 2 year hiatus during Covid Times) . Previously our fundraising objective has been the school’s playground and supporting their healthy eating kitchen. Moving forward, the School needs our help financially to help with their growing number of pupils but lack of Government funding.

Due to the school’s Victorian building and location the school can’t fit as many pupils in as a large state school, which means that they are poorly funded. The sad truth is without financial support from Soho Food Feast and their other fundraising events, the school would be in a critical state. The happy truth though is that the school is in Soho, and we have an incredible community spirit which is evident in the success of the previous eleven years of the Soho Food Feast, where restaurants local and further a field in London have come together to support the only school in Soho.

Soho Food Feast has been supporting the Soho Parish Primary school for many years, with 2024 being our twelth year running.

The Food Feast is run by school parents and volunteers to raise money that is used directly in improving the school and the experience of its children.

OUR HISTORY//

Soho Food Feast was set up by Margot Henderson, of Rochelle Canteen and St. John restaurants, and Anita Moir, then the school's catering manager (both were school parents), alongside other valued members of the Soho community, such as Lesley Lewis of the French House, Carolyn Dawson of the Union and Hilary Heath.

The first event took place 14 years ago and has since grown from a school fete style gathering, to a large weekend extravaganza of exciting restaurants, chefs, bars and entertainment. Not forgetting the infamous vegetable sculpture competition for the kids!

HOW THE EVENT WORKS//

The Soho Food Feast takes place in St. Anne's Gardens on Dean Street, supported by our friends at St. Anne's Church. Visitors purchase tokens that can be exchanged for small signature dishes from dozens of restaurant, as well as being entertained by live music, an amazing raffle, great wine and bar options.

The event attracts foodies from across London as well as families and Soho residents, the fundraising objective giving it a great community feel and energetic atmosphere. It really is a wonderful event to be a part of, both for the restaurants and the visitors.
