Cochran, whose experience includes time at The Ledbury and The Harwood Arms, has built a reputation for bold, flavour-driven cooking influenced by his Michelin-level experience.
He is best known for his now closed Islington restaurant 12:51 which offered refined dishes that explored his dual Scottish Caribbean heritage.
Cochran originally launched the Around the Cluck during the coronavirus lockdown as a delivery brand.
It later reappeared within Valderrama, the chef’s short-lived Islington sport bar concept.
