Braunston Fryer in Daventry

Absolutely the best fish and chips I’ve ever tried! The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and fresh, while the chips were golden and crispy. To top it off, the customer service was fantastic – friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Fried as they should be, in beef dripping. Flipping lovely

Great place to get food. the only downside is cash only. When we called, we only had around £3.00 cash, we left with large chips and a pea fritter, and the owner said when you come back, pay for the fritter. Great customer service Ps we did go back for another takeaway and paid for the fritter

Loved these fish and chips. They were super tasty and not at all greasy. The only downside is that you have to pay by cash but you can get cash back at the Wheatsheaf. You can also eat your chips at the pub too!

Lovely chippie with friendly staff. Chips were lovely but you didn’t get a huge portion. No gravy which is a shame but the curry sauce was amazing. Don’t take card payments so lucky we had a bit of cash.

Chips cooked in beef dripping what more could you need. Service was friendly and food cooked fresh to order.

We stopped in here a while ago. What a great Fish &Chips shop. Fish freshly fried up quickly in front of you. Chips were great. Huge portion, great for a second fry up of left overs. Charming owner. The Wheatsheaf pub near by doesn't serve food, so one can take your Fish & Chips there to enjoy with a bevvie. Highly recommend.

Small chips was .£2.80 ( get bigger trays at the coast) chips tasted like dirty oil , the smell and colour was just wrong 😕 such a shame , but boaters, don't waste your money

Proper fish & chips! Taste and quality amazing!

Great fish and chips, cooked to order so a bit of a wait, but worth the wait and very fresh.

Great tasting chips and an awesome pie! Bob is the best!

Chips were greesy, very hard with hardly potatoe in side, cold and clearly been refried from a previous service. Couldnt eat them they went in the bin. Battered sausage was ok.

Great food, served by a lovely gentleman

Fish fantastic, chips so and so , to be honest amd I will , freshly fried cod , okay its in the middle of the blooming conty , so probably frozen 1st , I can't fault the batter , mush peas where class its just the chips and I'm problem going out on a tangent here , fresh chips don't hold them and keep them , been to so many chippies over my lifetime that do this , never mind rant over , would I return again yes , just sort the chips out 😁

Looked and tased like previous days food reheated at a premium price!

Lovely guys serving great chips etc. Closes at 21.00 Near the equally friendly Wheatsheaf pub

Absolutely delicious. Large portions. Friendly service. Clearly popular with the locals. Definitely recommend and will return next time we’re passing through.

Absolutely delicious fish and chips. Very generous portion and super friendly staff. Super busy as it was Saturday but I didn’t have to wait very long. Well supported by local residents - usually a good sign.

Just what I needed . Mainly cooked to order so nice and freshly out the fryer

Good old fashioned chippy Be advised everything cooked in beef dripping

I gave this 1 star ( my husband would give it 5 ) but I am vegetarian and Braunston Fryer uses beef fat

Fish and chips in beef dripping 😋

Brilliant chippie. Everything very tasty and have been several times without being disappointed. They take cash only

Having read the reviews decided to take a drive from Stockton to try. Was not disappointed. Beautiful piece of fish and great chips. Proper mushy peas. What's not to love? We will be back.

Amazing just spectacular support the local village chippy braunston mega chippy

Freshly cooked to order, very tasty, no soggy batter or chips here. The staff were nice to chat to whilst waiting too!

Staff lovely and friendly, fish and chips cooked to order brilliant, they had been cooked in very old oil and that is why its 2.

Exceptionally good fish and chips Fish is cooked freshly for each order. Probably the best I've ever had

Freshly cooked to order, delicious fish and chips

Great service, epic portions and to be honest best Doner Kebab I've ever had! Seriously hats off to them 👌👍

Good value very nice fish and chips. Not 5 stars because my chips were not crispy but all in all was nice

Lovley little chippy staff were nice and friendly great burgers and the chips were yummy

Hidden in a valley in Northamptonshire near Daventry, lies the Midlands largest canal and Boat Marina. Particularly popular with Traditional Working Boats, the canal is also home to Boat yards and a hire boat company. It is also famous for the annual Braunston Working Boats Festival attended by100's of bygone beautifully painted boats. After a long walk along its canal on any particular day, the Braunston Fishery in the village is a must stop on the way home. Amongst others, the Fish and Chips are freshly prepared while you wait. They're worth it.

I like the dripping drying, disappointed with 'cash only'

Very friendly staff beautiful tasty food freshly cooked EVERY time and taste so good people you really need to try the chip shop it's amazing

Fantastic food very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Lovely Cod & Chips! The chips stayed crispy even wrapped up for the walk back to the boat 😁

Very good freshly cooked Cod. Quick and friendly service.

Fantastic curry takeaway on a Tuesday evening

Good fish and chips. Huge portions too! Very nice. Washes down great with a pint from the pub 🍻👍

This is a great little chip shop. Ordering ahead recommended. Cash only at the moment but cashpoint in the store down the hill. Closed on Mondays. Curry sauce yummy!

Wouldnt recomend this chippy ,chips not fresh,fish evan worse

A good place for fish and chips, fried in dripping which may put some people off but does give a great flavour. Easy to access from the canal too if you've come by boat. Was cash only when we visited, so plan ahead.

Great fish and chips, good portions and friendly staff.

Fantastic fish and chips! These places need our support

Great fish & chips. Definitely going back....

Awesome food! Wonderful owners and staff. I order from here every time I visit my Auntie.

Cash only. Enjoyed our meal down by the canal on the lovely early spring evening.

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time.

We have fish and chips from here once a week and always lovely. Cooked fresh to order so always good to phone your order through.

The food was cooked fresh so it was still super hot by the time we got it home, chips were.lovely, best fish we've had and loved the sausage

Very good, would go there again.

Excellent freshly cooked Northern style fish and chips. I’m from Yorkshire so fish and chips cooked in dripping is a treat that I don’t normally get to eat unless I’m there, so I love to stop here when in this village. As good as last time. Big fish and so many chips I couldn’t finish them.

Fantastic! phoned my order through, nice friendly staff and good portions great for boaters after a long day

Best chippy in the area. Great quality fish, light crispy chips and all served up with a smile. Wicked.

Foods always bang on and very tasty and the staff are really friendly 100% recommended

Always great chips, love that they're still cooked in beef fat

Used for the first time. Delicious traditional taste. Cooked to order.

Great little chippy with friendly staff and the owner was happy to have a laugh and banter while food was being cooked. Sadly they don’t do beans or gravy which was a shame but the curry sauce was nice.

Food is cooked to order...which is great ....but often kebabs are not available even 45 mins after opening... Edit Jan 2020 Have improved problems with kebabs... All other food on menu is excellent and cooked fresh to order.... would give 5* if they opened a little later or more often at lunchtimes. Otherwise superb food and fabulous service.

Mixed doner kebab with chips was just awful. Ordered online and It was all piled on, the chips were soggy as a result. The chicken was red and was marinated in something that i've never had from any place that sells chicken doner meat. Honestly, it looked like something that was thrown on the street in town after a night out, then delivered to my doorstep, practically the entire meal was thrown away. I rang them up to be told that this is the way their chicken doner meat is marinated but failed to tell me what it was marinated in. I advised him i'd like to return it for something else or have a refund and both were refused because they won't send anyone to collect it when it was delivered and if i want a refund i would need to go through just eat (which is understandable). The man i spoke to sounded like he could care less that i was unhappy even though he was telling me if he could help he would, yet sending something else as a replacement wasn't possible...? He was just continously telling me that 'this is the way their kebab is.' Overall, absolutely awful food and terrible service, definitely will be avoiding in future.

One of the only traditional fish and chip shops in England that still cooks in beef dripping. Amazing quality food.

The food was horrible, chips soggy and really overcooked curry sauce cold just generally not nice. I wouldn't go back the staff seemed really friendly though

I'm very partial to a good fish and chip supper. This chippy was great value, great chips and fresh fish. Excellent!

A great fish and chip supper. Light crispy batter and not a bit greasy.

Excellent, huge, freshly cooked fish and chips. Lovely service. We'll worth the walk from along the canal.

Lovely fish& chips Disappointed with kebab as it was tandoori, which I don't like . The info should be included on the menu.

I could be biased as Braunston has many good things to see and do this chippy is number 2 on my list, batter always crisp and melts in your mouth, chips well cooked neither taste of other foods so that is a bonus. Accessible to everyone and lots of spots to sit and eat fish and chips in good areas. Thank you for serving decent fish and chips.

Hated the taste of beef dripping. Loved it as a kid, but things have moved on.

Best fish and chips I have had for a long time. Love that they cook using traditional methods.

Amazing fish and chips, well worth the walk up the hill!

It was our first visit to the Fryer just the other weekend, even though we only live in a neighbouring village. Everything is fried in beef dripping, which is unfortunate for veggies and vegans, but in so good for omnivores. The batter on the succulent fish was crispy and tasty, the chips were soft and beautifully cooked - we even popped down to the canalside to enjoy them in the sun. Perfect.

Excellent food all cooked in beef dripping just like it used to be. Go and experience this wonderful food.

Cod and chips done in beef dripping. Crunchy batter and delicious chips. What more is there to say. Our Friday night favourite.

Great fish & chips from a beautiful village chippy.

We are really lucky to have such a great chip shop within the village. They are so friendly and willing to accommodate any order even if it’s five minutes before close. The curry on a Tuesday night is a must!

Having recently moved to the village with my straight companion, Craig, we really fancied a bag of chips with gravy. However, we were heartbroken and shaken to discover a lack of gravy on the premises. Considering relocating to a neighbouring village with gravy.

Tastiest fish supper cooked traditionally in beef drippings. Best eaten fresh out of the fryer. We had ours down by the canal locks. Yum.

Beautiful chips cooked in beef dripping

These were the tastiest fish and chips I’ve had in years. Light, crisp non-greasy batter and perfectly cooked fish. Equally perfect, golden, chips. Delighted we found this little takeaway!

Brilliant little chippy everything cooked to order well worth the walk from the canal

Very consistent fish and chips. Very very tasty

Lovely fish and chip shop. Even does a. Mean curry on Tuesdays

Great food a nice size portions. Highly recommended.

Fish and chips nice, if a little cold.

Super friendly service and good food. Tuesday is curry night!

My favourite chippy. Does the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.

Visited this tiny shop days back. Enjoyed best fish n chips ever.. Very crispy n tasty. Excellent and very friendly service and i loved the packing container.. A must try shop.

Truly awful, all the positive reviews most be from people who have never eaten chips before. Stale, refried, bitter tasting chips. Had to throw them away. I pointed out to the owner that the chips were refried and the oil was stale, he denied this and told me they were fresh. Avoid untill they get there act together.

Great fish and chips! I always make a visit to the Braunston Fryer when passing through on my boat.

We had chips the other night, we will be back for fish & chips next time we pass through! We had been wanting to visit previously but had always passed through when they were closed. Impressed :)

Tasty food, friendly staff, reasonable price.

Lovely fish and chips! Will be back! :-)

As first time visitors we were extremely impressed. Our food was cooked to order in beef dripping, so much tastier than vegetable oil. This is not the nearest F&C shop to our home but the extra mileage is worth it.

Brilliant fish, chips and mushy peas.

Wonderful fish, chips and mushy peas. The best chips I have had in years. The chips are fried in beef dripping making them taste divine.

We were moored on our narrow boat in Braunston and as there weren't many take-aways on our journey on the Grand Union canal, we took the opportunity. It is a tiny shop, easy to miss, at one end of the village. It opened at 4.30pm on a Tuesday, which was good for us. We both ordered cod and chips. We were going to order a large chips to share but the lady behind the fryer said that the regular chips would be enough and she was right! We also had mushy peas and a white roll. The fish batter was cooked in beef dripping and as a result was so crispy and flavoursome. The only thing I would point out are the photos of food on posters, which are not appetising in any way and would put you off ordering the dishes. However, the food was very good and is recommended for a reasonably priced take-away meal.

We made a 10 mile journey to try these fish and chips after reading reviews,the owners are very nice people I orderd cod chips and peas twice which were cooked fresh which took five minuets. We drove up the road to eat them and was not disappointed these are the best fish and chips we have had for along time the only one thing I would change is try to make the batter a little thinner although no a big problem.

Visiting our family on Saturday, to save cooking we visited this little fish shop. The lady and gentleman were very friendly and although they didn't have my wife's first choice of rock, they served a splendid haddock. In total we had three cod, two haddock and a huge sausage for little man. I do enjoy my fish and chips and must rate this among the very best. Served in boxes to keep them warm (and save washing up) the portions were good and very tasty indeed. 120 miles to travel but we will certainly have fish and chips from here again. Thank you for excellent food.

Fish and chips the best around , still cooked in dripping, freshly cooked each visit and worth waiting for it to be supplied in individual boxes
