Try This New Fish Restaurant and Taste the Difference

Posted on June 5th, 2024 by Ronel

If your idea of family fun is eating out and you enjoy seafood, do yourself a favour and book a table at this new Mediterranean fish restaurant in Bromley. This distinctly different seafood restaurant owes its origin to two brothers, Fats and George Lazarides, who, along with their mother, Liza, left their home in Cyprus to begin a new life in South Africa.

Their venture began as a tiny seafood deli with just seven tables for diners in a shopping mall in the South African city of Pretoria. From this modest beginning, Ocean Basket has become a global franchise with over 200 branches spanning 17 countries.

Finally, after an incredible, event-filled journey that has taken 27 years, the franchise established its first restaurants in the United Kingdom in 2022. For the first time, diners in the Greater London borough of Bromley can join the 18 million others worldwide who, every year, enjoy the unique blend of seafood cooked in the Mediterranean style with the ambience of a traditional South African family gathering.

What Makes This Fish Restaurant Different

Like all island nations, Britain is a country of fish lovers. The UK is home to about 10,500 fish and chip shops, serving approximately 382 million meals annually. Almost a quarter of the population visits a fish and chip shop every week. However, although you can order a takeaway by phone or online from the Ocean Basket in Bromley, it’s no ordinary fish and chip shop, as even the briefest glance at its extensive menu will confirm.

The following are just a few examples of the mouthwatering delicacies that keep diners returning to this exceptional fish restaurant over and over again:

  • Platters to share: These range from portions for two to family-sized helpings and consist of several combinations of mussels, prawns, calamari cooked various ways, Cape hake and sea bream. The family platter is reasonably priced and an excellent choice for a family lunch or evening meal.
  • Crusted Scottish salmon: The panko crust and creamy garlic red pesto sauce lend this dish a delicious blend of texture and taste that is hard to resist.
  • Seafood combos: Diners can choose from prawns with mussels, calamari, Cape hake or cod, while fans of calamari can enjoy it served with either cod or Cape hake. Feel free to spice these up with a creamy garlic or lemon sauce for an added treat.
  • Traditional village salad: For vegetarians or as an accompaniment to your meal, this fish restaurant combines English cucumber, green peppers, and sliced white onions with creamy Greek feta, Kalamata olives and a homemade dressing tossed with origanum to create something wholly unique to share as a side.

Above all, Ocean Basket is a family-friendly restaurant, so we cater for all ages:

  • Silver Surfers: From Monday to Thursday, we offer a selection of smaller two- and three-course meals priced to suit pensioners.
  • Kids menu: Saucy fish bites, kids platters, milkshakes, soft drinks, and more will keep the little ones happy, while parents can take their pick of healthy meal options for their kids
