Plan Burrito is opening its first Medway branch this year.

The award-winning Mexican food chain is moving into a unit on Gillingham High Street, near Sports Direct.

It serves nachos, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and more.

The restaurant will offer dine-in, takeaway and delivery options – with space for up to 20 customers in the restaurant.

An opening date has not been revealed yet, although it is expected to launch in the spring.

Around 10 new jobs will be created.

Stephen Hopper, founder of Plan Burrito, said: “We are so excited to be opening in Gillingham.

“The community seems really friendly and welcoming, so we are looking forward to giving that back to all great people of the town.

“Plan Burrito will be your place to go and escape the rush so you can kick back and enjoy our retro music playlist and chilled out vibe.”

Launching in 2015, the chain has grown to 10 branches across the UK, including two in Kent in Ramsgate and Canterbury.

It won the award for Best Street Food in England at the 2022 National Food Awards.
