For a child of an average-income British family during the ’50s, having a meal at a restaurant was considered a special occasion. Choices were mostly limited to a typical three-course English meal with a main course of roast beef, chicken with whatever vegetables were in season, or a traditional plate of fish and chips. Today, there are at least 47 restaurants in Bromley. Between them, they offer everything from Indian and Thai curries and Italian pasta dishes to Japanese sushi and delicious Mediterranean seafood feasts.
By the early ’60s, espresso coffee bars and Indian restaurants began opening in most British cities and large towns. In 1965, the first branch of KFC was established in Preston, Lancashire, followed in 1974 by the arrival of McDonald’s in the London borough of Greenwich.
While fast food is convenient and cheap and continues to attract millions, health concerns have driven diners to seek healthier options. The decision by Ocean Basket to open a branch in Bromley could not have been better timed. Our country loves fish, and in this restaurant, the seafood is always flavoured and cooked to perfection.
Bromley is home to a significant share of the approximately 11,000 fish and chip shops feeding the nation’s seemingly insatiable appetite for deep-fried battered cod and chipped potatoes. However, while cod, hake and plaice inhabit our oceans, other waters hold more exotic fare to delight diners’ palates, and locals are eager to enjoy them at Ocean Basket, a family seafood restaurant in Bromley.
It’s not just the food that fills the seats and keeps people coming back for more or has made over 200 Ocean Basket restaurants a favourite destination for seafood lovers in 17 countries, from Mauritius and Malta to Kazakhstan and Kuwait. The international franchise is the fruit of a seed sewn in 1995 when a Greek immigrant family in South Africa opened a seafood deli with a few chairs for diners.
Today, every Ocean Basket restaurant owes its success to the unique combination of rich, mouthwatering Mediterranean fish dishes, the atmosphere of laughter and fun typical of a Greek family meal and a traditional, warm South African welcome.
