For a truly memorable dining experience, every dish tells a story. We use the freshest locally sourced ingredients alongside the finest quality produce imported directly from Italy, cooked with passion and with one simple aim: to make every guest feel truly special.
Founded in 2019, Basil & Co began as a small street food stall in Portobello Road before finding its home here in Tankerton, Kent. At the heart of it all is a family. Executive Chefs Sammy & Keith, and Front of House Manager Hannah, united by a love of genuine Italian cooking.
As we always say: life is better with good food and good company. We cannot wait to welcome you.
Discover Our Story
We keep our menu intentionally small so that every dish can be prepared fresh to order, with the care and attention it deserves. We also love introducing weekly specials, inspired by the very best seasonal ingredients we can source each week.
More than just a restaurant, we're a place where guests become family. Freshness, warmth and genuine Italian flavour are at the heart of everything we do.
