Kuckoo Rocks
Kuckoo was founded in 2010 with the vision of sharing our passion for fabulous Cocktails, incredible service and awesome music. We turned a dilapidated backstreet pub in Preston into a beautiful boutique bar and filled it with highly trained, customer focused and fun loving bartenders, multi-serving incredible cocktails to an Indie Rock’n’Roll soundtrack.
We soon forged a cult following and have so far extended the Kuckoo family to locations in Chester, Sheffield, Knutsford and most recently Warrington.
We believe in creating raving fans one cocktail at a time.
Working with us
We run a True Team structure that doesn’t require a manager. By empowering our staff to run the bar through our own bespoke training programme, our staff are passionate, enthusiastic and hard working, and love Kuckoo as much as we do. Our full time staff are salaried and can achieve good levels of bonus.
If this sounds like something you’d like to get involved with we are always on the look out for the next Flanagan… so drop us a line.

What our staff say
“I absolutely love working for Kuckoo. Working and learning how to be the best alongside your best mates whilst enjoying it more than anything. I was told when I started that we work to party and it couldn’t be truer. Live for the Weekend”
Ryan Maughan
Chester
“From first walking into Kuckoo 4 years ago for the highly recommended Northern Zombie, I was instantly envious of the high energy bartenders working in the fast paced bar. The knowledge and training gained over the last 18 months is unmatchable along with the guidance on how to run a bar for any future prospects. For me Kuckoo truly is the peak for anyone in Hospitality.”
Brad Thomas
Sheffield
“Hospitality can be unsocial in its work load. Something I’ve felt heavily in previous jobs. More than anything Kuckoo has allowed me to balance my work and home life. It’s also allows you endless opportunities to further your career in which ever avenue you feel passionate about.”
