Owner chef James Cochran shared his bittersweet reflections on the closure, stating, 'After almost seven years, I have decided it's the end of a chapter for me.' He emphasized how the restaurant allowed him to realize his dream of serving fine dining in a welcoming environment and expressed gratitude for the experiences shared with guests and staff during the restaurant's journey.
Cochran reflected on his vision when opening 12:51, saying, 'I opened 12:51, fresh off my win on Great British Menu, looking to share my ethos that anyone could enjoy fine dining, classical cooking techniques without the stuffiness.' This comment underscores his passion for making high-quality cuisine more accessible to a wider audience.
