Member of the Month – Basil Harbour Cafe

Basil Harbour Café sprung back into action on Good Friday, making sure everyone got the cheeky bacon roll they’ve been craving since an early close in November 2020.

But they haven’t sat idly all this time. Behind the scenes, they’ve been getting ready to reopen, with woodwork touch-ups, new menu items, and a fresh coat of paint to the inside and out. With that in mind, it’s easy to see how they’re our Member of the Month for April.

Jamie Barron explains: “On the run up to reopening, I’ve been painting the kitchen and cafe inside, and the woodwork outside. I’ve changed the colours to a light blue: new season, new look.”

Some of you may recognise this colour, as Jamie picked a shade to match what it would have been back when Basil’s first opened. What a lovely throwback!

“We’ll be back with all our usuals: filled rolls, sandwiches, tea, coffee, cake, ice cream, milkshakes, burgers, chips, soup.

“But we’re also going to be introducing some new menu items to make sure we’re stocked up on all our customers favourites.” (did someone say tapas?)

Basil’s pride themselves on the fact that their menu items are made on premises. So you can be sure what you’re eating really is fresh, local, and made with love. But none of this would be possible without their brilliant in-house staff.

At present, Basil’s will be open from Friday to Monday only, and they are looking to hire a Café Assistant to help out during this time and throughout the season – see job opportunity here.

As restrictions are lifted and more businesses open, Basil’s may be looking to recruit more staff as they expand their shifts and return to a 7-day week.
