Great traditional fish and chips. Friendly efficient service. This is a well loved business in this local area and you won't find better fish and chips anywhere.

Great food, but shocked to say the least, that 6 members of staff behind the counter at one time, not one was wearing a mask. Sorry to say, the food is the best, but I will not be visiting again during these times. Another localish chippy were issued fines for not wearing a mask. Really should address this.

Staff don’t wear masks cooking and serving. I would expect with way things are that staff preparing food should be wearing a mask and gloves. Very little protection to customers from staff. Won’t be going again.

Awful fish and chips Cooked fresh ? Absolute rubbish. Walked in ordered fish and chips for 2 and was back out the door in less than 2 minutes. Batter was so thick and tasted awful. Chips awful. Will never return

As the other local fish and chip shop has gone down hill, Michaels Golden Chippy continues to improve. Great value from a family business offer very good old fashion fish and chips. Well done.

I've travelled the world and lived abroad; I've eaten all sorts of cuisine from Philly cheese steaks in Philly, to deep fried spiders in Laos. But I have to say, that in my humble opinion, the homeliest food and best service has to be "Michaels Golden Chippy" in Daventry.

After living in the area for 30years I finally visited Michael's fish and chips and to eat in. The accommodation is basic and it can be chilly when the doors are opened but the fish chips and mushy peas were right up there with the best. Net time I want fish and chips this where I will go. The service and the welcome were everything I could have wished for.

I used to go to another local chippy but the service and standard of food went downhill. Fortunately I have been frequenting michaels since and have never had a bad meal. The chicken kebabs are just breast meat the kebabs have flavour the burgers are lush and I could go on as there’s such a variety I never know what I’m having until I get there but even then that will change umpteen times before I actually place my order. FYI the pigs in blankets are lush. The staff are always polite and helpful and the restaurant is always clean lovely family atmosphere amongst staff.

Definately the best fish & chips in Daventry though their kebabs are highly recommended too! Cooked to order, lots of choice. Lovely friendly staff too. Highly recommended. (Also due to start selling gluten free fish & chips very soon!)

Yo uso este sitio para llevar en una base regular y siempre están totalmente increíble. Nunca grasienta o goteo en aceite como los demás, el pescado es siempre fresco y de buena calidad como todos los productos. Tiene una enorme selección de alimentos aptos para todos los gustos y todos se sirve exactamente como el cliente solicita y a menudo con una sonrisa y una broma. Todo el mundo en la tienda es amable, la mayoría son familiares de Michael y todos tienen servicio al cliente como una prioridad.

In our opinion the best chippie in Daventry. We always have haddock, it is cooked fresh for us, and the fish is so large it doesn't fit on the plate.

I came here on the way back from work as I was travelling up the M1. I decided to take an alternative route through Daventry getting off at junction 16. I had been looking at the Google maps and trip advisor earlier, and this shop had some good reviews.I arrived just after opening time in the morning. The service was very friendly. I ordered cod and chips. The cod was cooked freshly, as were the chips. The server made sure that the oil was drained from the cod after he took it out, as no one likes oily fish.The cod was very good, it had a crisp batter, and the fish tasted really fresh. The fish was very meaty, although I thought it was a little small (I will be ordering the extra large cod next time).The chips were perfect, they were still crisp even though I put vinegar on them. They were fairly chunky, but not too chunky, the inside was fluffy, and outside crisp. (see photo I've uploaded).I would highly recommend this chip shop if visiting Daventry. I have tried other chips shows in Daventry and Braunston, and they fail in comparison to Michael's Golden Chippy. 10/10, highly recommended.

Time this place right, and the food is spot on. However, if they are busy, the chips can be a bit hard, and under cooked. Also, after about 6:30 in the evening, the chips can taste a bit stale and oily ( not sure what oil they fry in, but it can have an almost synthetic taste )Always ask for fresh fish. When cooked fresh, it is really nice. Batter is crisp, and fish is still moist. If it's already cooked and kept warm, it's generally dry. Apart from the general chippy menu, they also do kebabs and burgers. I've never tried the burgers, but the kebabs are ok. They taste fresh, but seen to lack the flavour you get from a dedicated kebab house. Staff are excellent. Very polite and friendly

I've visited this chippy on numerous occasions, at various times of the day and night. Every single time, the staff have been very friendly. The food (chips, fish and other items) has always been cooked to perfection without fail. The premises are always clean and well presented. Put simply, I genuinely cannot fault this place in any way.

It was a cold and rainy night when we decided that a fish and chip supper was called for. Not having visited Michaels for a while I wondered if the high standards of food and service that it is renowned for were still in place. No worries, it is still one of the best chippies in town for rapid service and the quality of the fish and chips sold. We enjoyed our meal at home very much and would certainly recommend a visit. At busy times, as this was, be prepared for parking problems as the street gets very congested.

Closed. 😭 A cosy cafe with friendly and attentive staff. Indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet courtyard conveniently located just off the high street. Nice breakfast and lunch menus available; and of course a good selection of cakes and deserts. Well behaved dogs are allowed inside and outside; water and complimentary treats offered. Parking just a couple of minutes walk away; toilet / baby-changing facilities on-site (ask staff for key). Card payments accepted. Highly recommended.

Very disapointing. We had held a small function here in March '23 and on the sucess of that plan a repeat in March '24 so, knowing it had changed hands in the meantime, we booked a table for just ourselves to check it out. On arrival we found there was no reservation recorded even though it had been made several days earlier. However a table was available by the door into the kitchen. My wife chose two starters -Asparagas tartlet then Prawns with mixed veg. I chose baked camambert then Beef burgignon with chips. The asparagas tartlet was crisp and very dainty with a minimal amount of asparagas. The prawns were inedible having so much pepper in the sauce that my wife, who is normally happy with spicy, peppery food rejected it . We asked th waitress to inform the chef but there was no response from the kitchen. The waitress did offer to get her something else but there was nothing else on the menu that she wanted. The camambert was fine, being a good portion "Le Rustique" soft and runny and well within the sell by date printed on the case. My beef dish was not as flavoursome as I had expected of Burgignon The chips were nicely cloured but had an oily look and no crispness at all. I suspect they had come from the freezer via a dip in warm oil. I normally wolf down all the chips on the plate but a good half went back to the kitchen..We usually like to look at the desert menu but gave it a miss as we had no expectations. I went to the bar to pay. The barman asked if we had enjoyed the meal so I told him it was not to our taste as the prawns were inedible owing to the amount of pepper and that we had sent that message to the chef. He was happy to take the full amount from my credit card. Such a pity when we had had such a good experience here with Lucile in charge 9 months ago. We are still looking for a venue for our function next March.
