Brittania Caterers

Brittania Caterers is a Chinese takeaway counter tucked inside the Pentagon shopping centre, the covered mall at the centre of Chatham's retail district and one of the busiest spots in the town. Its position draws a steady daily flow of shoppers, families and workers looking for a quick, hot lunch between errands, and the kitchen is geared to serving them fast without a long wait.

The menu sticks to the well-loved Chinese fast-food classics — egg fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet-and-sour dishes, curry sauce and a choice of noodles — all cooked to order at the brisk pace a mall food unit demands. Portions are built for an on-the-go meal, whether that's a rice box eaten in the centre or a quick bite to take away, making it a handy fixture for anyone spending the day around the shops.
