The British people’s near-obsessive love of fish and chips is plain for all to see. And why not? This popular combo offers an affordable, tasty, nutritious meal and is widely available in cities, towns and villages throughout the British Isles. However, changing tastes, perhaps influenced by holidays in Europe, have led to a substantial growth in the number of seafood restaurants in the UK.
Like the chip shops, these restaurants vary in quality, but many are great, combining good food and wine with personal service. However, apart from their location and décor, most offer nothing unique to set them apart from their competitors. That is, until the opening of two distinctly different venues in the outer London area in 2022.
During the intervening two years, thousands of Brits have learned to love the delicious Mediterranean-style seafood dishes and lively Greek ambience unique to the Ocean Basket outlets in Bromley and Kingston upon Thames.
If you are anything like me, you would probably prefer not to eat somewhere you are frightened to speak or laugh aloud for fear of attracting unwelcome glances from other diners. Eating out should be an enjoyable experience that allows parents and children to let their hair down and have fun while enjoying a classic dish such as fish and chips, or a generous serving of fried, grilled and Cajun-spiced calamari.
A warm welcome and a relaxed atmosphere are typical of Greek and South African eateries. So, it should come as no surprise that a global seafood franchise founded by a Greek immigrant family in South Africa prioritises these qualities. In the true Mediterranean spirit, Ocean Basket creates dining experiences that centre around delicious food and friendly people. You may want to enjoy a quiet lunch defined by light conversations and rich seafood dishes, celebrate a milestone birthday with a memorable feast shared by loved ones, or cheer for your local soccer team with your mates while savouring tasty treats. Ocean Basket is the perfect backdrop for any occasion.
The most compelling reason to book a table at Ocean Basket is the range of mouth-watering seafood dishes. For example:
While Ocean Basket’s selection of seafood dishes is extensive and includes oysters, grilled Scottish salmon or sea bream and soft-shell crab burgers, there are also many delicious deserts, fine wines, salads and a Greek-style fish soup to enjoy. Furthermore, Ocean Basket is a family restaurant that caters to children with meals designed for young appetites, including saucy fish bites, a kids platter, yummy desserts, and refreshing drinks.
