Around The Cluck from michelin-starred chef, james cochran

New kitchen pop-up from Michelin Star chef, James Cochran. With parents from St.Vincent in the Caribbean and Glasgow, Scotland, he grew up by the sea in Whitstable, Kent. A mixed heritage is reflected in his innovative and exciting dishes. After getting his first job at Wheeler's Oyster Bar in his hometown, his talent took him to the world-renowned, two-Michelin-starred, The Ledbury - where he honed his skills under mentor Brett Graham. He went on to run the kitchen at Michelin-starred gastropub, The Harwood Arms.

He opened his flagship restaurant, 12:51, in Islington, North London. In 2018 - the same year he won the BBC's Great British Menu - a feat he repeated in 2020. A winner of the prestigious Eater London Chef of the Year and restaurant of the year from Fay Mashalar. You can find James’ 12:51/chefjamescochran scotch bonnet jam nationwide in Asda and Sainsbury nationwide.

These are just a few of his accolades, and now he’s honing those skills at The Three Compasses in Dalston, showcasing everything fried chicken.
