Cork & Basket

Nestled within the Antigua Yacht Club Marina at English Harbour, the original Cork & Basket location pairs its celebrated wine and gourmet food offering with a cosy café and coffee shop — making it a wonderfully convenient culinary pit stop for visitors exploring the island's historic south. The waterfront setting is charming, and the relaxed atmosphere draws yacht crews, villa guests, and curious travellers in equal measure.

Café and food offering

The café side of Cork & Basket is built around quality at every turn. Guests can settle in for a proper breakfast or a lighter bite supported by freshly prepared deli selections — think fine cheeses, charcuterie, and artisan accompaniments sourced from across the globe. Hot food, prepared foods, and takeaway options are available, making it as practical for a quick morning visit as for a leisurely lunch.

The northern location in Silver Leaf Plaza on Blue Waters Main Road, which opened in April 2024, expands the food-and-drink experience considerably. Four times the size of the English Harbour store, it offers a broader breakfast selection, hot food takeaway, deli items, and an extensive range of prepared foods alongside the store's full gourmet pantry.

Coffee and drinks

Coffee is taken seriously here. Whether you're fuelling up before a day on the water or unwinding after touring the historic dockyard, the coffee shop element of the English Harbour store provides a welcome pause. The drinks menu is complemented by an impressive array of teas — including English and Oriental varieties — and, of course, by the store's outstanding wine and spirits portfolio for those occasions that call for something special.

Location and hours

The English Harbour store is ideally located within the Antigua Yacht Club Marina, placing it at the heart of one of the Caribbean's most celebrated sailing destinations. The newer Silver Leaf Plaza location serves the vibrant north of the island, bringing the same gourmet café experience to a wider local and visitor community.

Reservations are not typically required for café dining, though the stores can be busy during peak sailing season. For enquiries, reach the team by phone at +1 268 462 0363 or by email at thecorkandbasket@brydensantigua.com.
