About Around The Cluck By Chef James Cochran

Valderrama’s has officially opened its doors to the public. A bar that shows sport, but not a sports bar as we know it, serving Beavertown beers on tap, quirky cocktails, frozen margaritas and accompanied by James Cochran’s Around the Cluck fried chicken concept, which gained a cult following over lockdown summer 2020.

The menu includes James’ crispy buttermilk fried chicken favourites: The Original - whipped blue

cheese mousse, bacon scratchings and Sauce Shop x 12:51 Scotch Bonnet Jam, Spice Up Your Life – mango chutney, pickled cucumber, curry sauce, Bombay mix, smoked yogurt, poppadom, and coriander, Hear Me Now – cheese ‘n’ truffle fondue, smoked mushroom relish, slaw and The Veganator - crispy vegan patty, Gochujang, Asian slaw, peanuts, and coriander. Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Thighs with chip-shop curry sauce or chicken gravy mayo, spring onions and seaweed buckets will also be on offer, and sides include Hash Browns or French Fries topped with jerk spice, gravy and crispy shallots or blue cheese and bacon.

James Cochran said: “There’s a new player in town. Valderrama’s is exactly the type of bar I’ve been searching for my whole life. I’m so happy to have found a permanent home for Around the Cluck, and where better than a bar I’ve created with some of the best in the business. This is a game changer. It’s a sports bar, but we’re inclusive – there’s no discrimination here, just good drinks, great food and an amazing atmosphere. I can’t wait to open the doors and show everyone what we’ve made for them. We’re all on the same team - come join the Valderrama’s community.
