The Mediterranean Sea lifestyle is renowned for its health benefits, vibrant flavours, and fresh ingredients. With a focus on bold flavours, Mediterranean cuisine is renowned for its use of olive oil, fresh vegetables, and seafood, creating dishes that are both vibrant and satisfying. Mediterranean seafood dishes – like mouthwatering prawns and crispy calamari—are not only loved for their fresh ingredients but also celebrated for their flavoursome spices, aromatic herbs, and zesty sauces that have made them famous around the world.
Now, seafood enthusiasts in Greater London can experience this Mediterranean magic firsthand. At Ocean Basket, we serve mouthwatering prawns and other seafood dishes in a welcoming environment that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re visiting our Bromley or Kingston upon Thames restaurant, we offer a dining experience that blends great food with a vibrant atmosphere.
In 2022, the residents of Bromley and Kingston upon Thames welcomed two new restaurants that introduced a fresh take on seafood, inspired by a Greek family from South Africa, 6,000 miles away. They first opened a tiny seafood deli and diner in 1995 in Pretoria, and it was an immediate success. In time, their determination and Mama Lazarides’ iconic recipes led to the birth of the international Ocean Basket franchise with more than 220 restaurants spanning 17 countries and 3 continents.
Whichever location you choose to visit, our mouthwatering prawns are always in high demand. Choose your prawns either grilled, fried, or Cajun-spiced – each option is always cooked to perfection. Alternatively, enjoy them as part of one of our famous seafood platters.
Our platters are designed to suit any occasion – whether you’re dining alone, with a partner, or with the whole family. Each platter includes a generous selection of seafood, such as mussels, calamari, Cape hake, and more, paired with your choice of chips or rice. And no platter would be complete without our delicious prawns, available as succulent prince prawns or the king-sized variety.
At Ocean Basket, we pride ourselves on offering more than just incredible seafood. Our famous creamy lemon sauce, fresh sides like lemon spinach or Padron peppers, and zesty salads are designed to complement your meal perfectly. Pair your feast with a refreshing drink, such as a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc, a classic Mojito, or one of our carefully selected non-alcoholic options for the ultimate dining experience.
We know that great food tastes even better when shared in a warm and welcoming setting. Inspired by the lively spirit of Mediterranean family meals, Ocean Basket’s restaurants are designed to be casual and fun, encouraging conversation and laughter. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a delicious meal, we aim to make every visit special.
From seasoned seafood enthusiasts to those new to exploring Mediterranean cuisine, Ocean Basket is the place to be. Book a seafood feast at an Ocean Basket restaurant today and discover why we’re one of Greater London’s favourite destinations for mouthwatering prawns.
