Lucky Spar

Lucky Spar on Bligh Way in Strood is part of the estate's takeaway parade, serving the residential community with a Chinese menu. Sweet and sour, chow mein, stir-fries, and rice dishes make up the core offer. The Bligh Way estate is one of Strood's larger post-war residential concentrations north of the town centre, and the kitchen's position in the local parade gives it a captive neighbourhood audience from the surrounding streets. Collection is the primary mode of trade, with local delivery available for the Bligh Way area. The Chinese menu covers the standard Cantonese-British repertoire expected of a neighbourhood takeaway — consistently prepared dishes at prices suited to the local community rather than a destination audience.
