Modern European | North London
Michelin-starred James Cochran has gone back to his roots with 1251, his Islington restaurant which is a much more personal affair for him. Here he's serving up modern British food, made with Kentish produce (and several nods to his West Indian heritage). The restaurant is pitched as a place to try Michelin-level dining in a more relaxed environment.

"The buttermilk chicken isn’t on the menu, perhaps because he didn’t want to pay for a licence to use his own recipe. Instead there is a moreish buttermilk rabbit with the aniseed waft of tarragon and the punch of horseradish. I could eat bowls of it. Only professionalism stops me doing so." READ REVIEW

"His Michelin-star status is evident in the presentation of the dishes as well as the taste, with each component well thought-out to create an overall palate-pleaser."
