Pepe's in Northampton

Pepes has been my favourite chicken to go to! I have been eating pepes chicken few times a week for over 2 years now and been telling my friends. They all agree and one of my friends told me that they always order for take away as well from the first time they have tried! Really love the service and food here. It's worth to write a review that is honest and pleased share it with friends all the time!:)

Awful service, the young lady behind the till took 15 minutes before serving me and then my food took another 15 minutes... Food was okay, bit disappointed in the lack of FORK with my chicken.

Pleasant staff. Cheaper than the Banbury shop 😳

Recommended by family member for a take out. Very tasty food. Chicken cooked to perfection. Portion size generous

The food is so delicious ,I love it and I’m impressed with your customer service 😍people are so polite and friendly

Great service, timely, pleasant and with a smile! 😊

Waited 40 minutes for food which had been in the warmer so long the bread roll was stuck to the wrapper. Over 20 people were served after we ordered our food and we're all delt with first. Burgers were overcooked and dry. On a positive note the fries 🍟 were great. Never again would I dine their.

Ordered and collected family chicken bucket . had some stored in the fridge. Taken it out to have it for dinner and can see white tiny worms and scared the kids as they were moving . Binned the whole bag.Phoned the restaurant advised them about it. Apparently they don’t keep their chicken over 2 hours. And it’s not their fault. Please be careful to check before eating it.

Food was cold and missing items

forgot sauces and all food come cold

Pepe's delivers! Consistently brilliant grilled chicken, fiery flavours that never disappoint. Succulent, well-seasoned, every bite a treat. Sides are fresh, service is quick. A reliable spot for a satisfying, spicy fix. Pepe's maintains a high standard, making it a go-to for flavour-packed meals.

After waiting an hour 20 minutes for the food to come, the food was cold and we had to warm it up in the microwave!! We have ordered a few times but after that order we won’t be rushing back!! It wasn’t worth the £35 I spent on the order!!

The 18 chicken wings are very juicy and succulent always made to perfection definitely recommend!!

Food was cold, delivery driver refused to bring the food to my door and said I need to pay extra for it

Was late then it was cold , not happy !

Amazing food and delivery! Came hot

The driver put in the wrong address and proceeded to argue with me about it and be very rude despite the address being correct. On the phone, he cut me off frequently and made it hard to explain the address correctly. And despite explaining the exact address and telling him what to put in his SatNav, he went to an entirely different location and blamed me for it. The address on the order was correct and yet he changed it and went somewhere else.

Didn’t have the dips inside but food was good as always

The child's menu was burned, and the order was almost 2 hours late. Unfortunately, it was my first experience with this restaurant and the last. I do not recommend it!

The grilled wings were over cooked and dry, ordered sauce and a bottle of Pepsi this was not delivered when I tried to contact the restaurant there was no answer. Really poor service

Very disappointed because the food arrived lukewarm but the fries were stale and cold.

Order was delayed so the food arrived later than originally stated, food was cold and chips/onion rings were soggy. Disappointing

First time trying Pepe’s after hearing a lot of hype and wasn’t disappointed. It’s nice to have the mango and lime option for chicken as Nando’s stopped doing it and it was my fave. The rice bowl was good but would probably get something different next time. The peri-peri chips were my favourite part and I’d dare say better than Nando’s. Don’t sleep on the wings, I really enjoyed them plain. All of this for just over £20 including a drink. Bargain for having a treat and not breaking the bank!

Food is taste less and comes cold

Ordered through Deliveroo, food was cold and when ate it didn’t feel right, and after eating it I had food poisoning the following day avoid avoid avoid

Great quality food, good size portions!

Such a bad customer service (Rude behaviour), and gave me wrong order too…

Nice experience good staff delicious food.

honestly never disappoints, every single time it is perfection, always saucy and generous with the chicken, i am a regular customer here and always get looked after in the northampton pepes establishment

Food is always good. The staff is really helpful.

Good service delicious food good staaf

Very friendly staff & delicious food

The food was cold, practically inedible of how cold it was.

Driver refused to bring to my front door.

feel let down. had to waitfor a crazy delivery time. only to be let down on that by over 30 mins. order was made at 15.05. got food at 16.50 that was cold. thank you.

Full chicken was beautifully cooked! Packed with flavour. Will most definitely order again.

Good food and fair prices compared with other takeaways. You can always eat in or take away or order delivery. You can also order and pay with their own app. Food was nice and freshly prepared. Good for all the family.

Taste and quality didn’t feel the same today.

Food takes a while to come but it’s defo worth the wait - Pepe’s is better than Rio’s

Called 3 times each time 5 mins away 2 mins away yet the website stated delivered 30mins ago! Food is cold driver said he picked up the food 35mins ago & been driving around doing deliveries no hot bag! We saw it I called Hamed at Pepes&complained

AVOID AVOID AVOID What to say about worst experience ordering a food, ordered a food it said will be delivered in 30-40 min, phoned them after 50 min they said wait another 10 min, waited another 20 min phoned them again they said wait another 30 min.i told them dont need the food, i want refund, they are very unprofesionnal restorant, they have not refunded me and will never ever order a food from them.

The food was cold and not even fresh cook The worst experience in my entire life.Last time I came it was good but this time a bit concerning.I would recommend the service to improve.When the Burger was cold They just toasted it after the toasting the burger turned even worse. Where it was less spices in the fries and less quantity and some of the Fries were burned.

One of the most disgusting experiences i ever had at this restaurant. The guy made a wait 25 minutes to make me a chicken and rice box. The rice was stale and there was barely any chicken inside. That's probably why the guy at the counter covered it up good with paper before handing it to me to go, just so i can't take a look inside and see he had ripped me off. Also, if you order the chicken and rice through the app, you get a different kind of rice than when you go in person. This means there is something shady going on because the deliveries must be going to a different restaurant, even though you order from this restaurant. Absolute unprofessional behavior from this restaurant.

Couldn’t get over how still hot and fresh the meal was ….. really enjoyed my take away would definitely recommend

Food not delivered. Dishonest when called for updates (1 hour after the meal was 'out for delivery'.

I had a great experience at Pepe’s restaurant! The chicken and rice with mayonnaise was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. A big shoutout to the manager, who was super helpful and made sure everything was just right. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Everyweek since 2 years on friday pepe’s is my food to eat The combination of sauces you can go what i recommend is Mild - lemon and herb Hot - lemon n herb I love to eat Very coperative staff

I really love it. Staff are very good and friendly. Specially Abdullah and Madiha. 5/5 👍

I had a wonderful experience at Pepe Peri Peri! The food was incredibly delicious, bursting with flavors that exceeded my expectations. The staff were equally impressive, providing excellent service with a friendly and attentive attitude. Highly recommend this place for both the amazing food and exceptional customer service.

Plain chicken and rice absolutely banging no grease just add garlic mayo and enjoy very high in protein Zak’s special plain chicken and rice

Food is amazing and customer service always 100%, you wont get piri piri chicken like this anywhere else

Great food Clean place Reliable!!! Aa

I have ordered my lunch and got bbq wrap 🌯 . The person on till guided me this one is a new wrap and it taste really nice so i ordered it and i really enjoyed my meal . Big love will come again 🥰

Food was really good, delivery was ahead of time, driver was great. Thank you!

The order was too salty and it tasted as if it was reheated, I’m very disappointed as we were very hungry and expecting good chicken and chips

Very good taste 👌 and best customer service.

When you get an order from a customer plz make sure that you put the right things in delivery bag rather than just blame it on the delivery driver which was later confirmed that it was mistake on your part. And seriously, asking me to come and collect it from shop clearly shows how reckless was your response.Also teach your staff to use the words like please, sorry and thank you as basic manners to speak. Taste was ok but the unapologetic behavior made the food taste unpleasant. This was my first and for sure a bad experience. Thank you.

The restaurant didn't dispatch the order on time despite updating about it on justeat.

Rude service from Abdullah, very unhappy

Terrible experience. Our order delivery was delayed repeatedly, and we ended up waiting over two hours. Eventually, we received a notification—two hours after placing the order—informing us that it had been cancelled. Why accept the order and keep customers waiting if you cannot fulfill it?! Definitely do not recommend.

15 minutes late Cold chips x2 Wings soaked in sauce Strips soaked in sauce

Order never arrived. Rude customer service! The guy hanged up on us and said to take it up with just eat.

Very nice FOOD. The staff were excellent. The person who was in charge is very professional with excellent customer service. Well DONE. 👏👏👏👏👏

I ordered the whole chicken meal, which should be 2 chest quarters and 2 thigh and leg quarters. Yet I got 3 chest quarters and 1 thigh and lef quarter. I was quite disappointed. In terms of taste, it was good though spicier than expected considering I ordered the lemon and herb. The fries were bland.

Food over an hour late fries and wrap cold

The order was delivered within the time frame however I did have to wait an hour to be delivered even though it said I would have it delivered within 35 minutes from placing the order

My experience with Pepe’s was truly disappointing. I regret for not checking their reviews before visiting.

Terrible Experience – Avoid Pepe’s Piri Piri! I’ve given Pepe’s Piri Piri multiple chances, but each time has been a disaster. Delivery consistently takes over 90 minutes, which is unacceptable. They always seem to forget something too – whether it’s my ice cream, a can of drink, or even my son’s burger! Today was the final straw: after waiting over 1 hour and 45 minutes, I called, and they casually said the driver was “just leaving” the shop. Their customer service is also abysmal – rude, dismissive, and completely lacking any politeness or professionalism. If you’re looking for reliability and respect as a customer, look elsewhere. I wouldn’t recommend Pepe’s to anyone.

The burger was completely burnt and had to be thrown away

Very very disappointed order food through Uber eats not delivered and went to store asked very disgraceful response. Food not delivered and charged for it. Very said. Avoid ordering.

Soggy food, chicken was hard to overpowering with peri peri

Shop timing showing 23:00 closing but we reached at 22:55 in restaurant they people said we closed at 22:45. So why you people stick the timing 23:00...?

Good customer service. Quick to correct any errors on delivery and order. Fantastic food. A must try

Food was stone cold and inedible

Tasty food was absolutely delicious! The peri peri chicken was especially tasty, bursting with rich and bold flavors. Amir, who always helps when I order, makes sure to grill it to perfection and even add extra peri peri sauces that make it stand out. The combination of extra hot with lemon and herb is the best! If you're looking for flavorful, juicy chicken with a kick, Pepe’s is the place to go. “Highly recommend!"

I did not receive my order i would like a full refund and i will not be ordering from here again! please do something about this

The food is good; however, the last three deliveries were short, requiring me to call the restaurant to correct the order.

Very small portions for what they call family platter.... it's a rip off

Terrible experience. Went here with a few colleagues for a quick bite to eat and it was abysmal. Firstly one of my colleagues asked if they were able to serve gravy or something similar with the food (they weren’t) and they did not provide a direct answer to the question. She ordered a lemon and herb chicken dish, this should not be spicy, and it was. I have a medium spice tolerance (have no issues eating jaelopenos but don’t like anything hotter) and I agreed this was far too spicy, even if it was a mild dish, and it wasn’t even that. My food never arrived. When I asked about it I was told I never ordered the food and that the order never came. I ordered it directly with the unhelpful man at the till, never have I been gaslit at a restaurant!! My colleague reordered the food for me and when it arrived (mild loaded fries) it was covered in chilli’s and was absolutely burning my mouth. For something advertised as “flavour without the burn” this was frankly false advertising. Also, why does it take 15-20 mins to make loaded fries? It’s supposed to be a fast food place, and it’s just chips with sauce and chicken!!! Overall disappointed, will not return, and I believe a lot of those with me will not be returning either. Edit: In response to your reply, i say, we raised issues with your staff when we were there. they were dismissive, told us our issue was our fault then ignored us and walked away.

Order was wrong had some items missing.

They brought someone else's order. Then they changed it but by the time that food arrived we had an ice cold meal. They didn't make a new one and brought it, it was awful.

I always order the half chicken peri-peri meal, which is the best thing on their menu—never disappointed. The service isn't the best, but it's worth the wait.

fast delivery, The best Peri Peri chicken . 5 🌟 delicious 😋

I recently had a disappointing experience at Pepe Chicken Northampton. The chips were overcooked and tasted like they’d been sitting in a hot box for far too long. The chicken was dry and lacked the usual quality I’ve enjoyed at other branches of this franchise. To make matters worse, the service was unfriendly; the lady who served us seemed miserable and unwelcoming, which is not what you’d expect in the hospitality industry. Overall, this was the worst experience I’ve had at a Pepe Chicken location, and I won’t be returning anytime soon.

I honestly can’t believe the awful quality of food I received from this place. The chicken was a complete disaster—so dry it felt like chewing on cardboard. I wouldn’t be surprised if it had been cooked days ago and left to dry out. The rice was just as bad—hard, tasteless, and clearly past its best. It was like eating cold gravel. And the fries? Disgusting. Stale, soggy, and utterly lifeless—clearly reheated multiple times. It’s almost insulting that they thought this was acceptable to serve. This wasn’t just a bad meal; it was a complete joke. For what I paid, I expected a meal at the very least edible—instead, I received something that tasted like it came straight out of the trash. To say I’m furious is an understatement. Save yourself the money, frustration, and stomach ache—avoid this place like the plague. I wouldn’t even feed this to my worst enemy.

Missing food and extremely long waiting times Uber eats it would of been 20 minutes maximum not 1 hour 45

30 quid for cold chips and lukewarm chicken delivered in 1hr 40 Wont make that mistake again

I just wish one day Pepe’s Northampton branch don’t let me down. They mess up somehow on every single time, without miss. Any other branch you go to, you will be impress, I his branch can never put their act together. This time I was given all burnt chicken. If for any reason, it got burnt, fair enough. Don’t flipping give it to your customers, make them fresh. Just got home with my food and found burnt food. Probably they were too busy having discussions among themselves.

Delivery bang on time. Food very good except the chips, they were pretty dry and tasteless, but didn’t really want them anyway so no drama!

Late delivery,food vas cold . Unprofessional service

I have not received my food yet and it says it’s already been delivered.

The food was great, the delivery driver was nice but the one thing that ruined it was the massive delay of over an hour.

I have always been a fan of pepes piri piri. But recently over the past couple of orders, i have noticed that the quantity of the paneer rice box has reduced substantially. It was really disappointing. I feel for the same price it is not worth buying nearly only half the amount.

Best Experience as always. Delivery Rider was on time and very caring. Highly Recommended 🥂

Order arrived 10 mins late and when it did it was missing a chicken wrap. I phoned back straight away and the woman on the phone said sorry and that we could claim a free wrap next time. I said there was one person without food and for it to be sent asap instead. She said they only had 1 driver and it could take some time for it to arrive. It arrived about 90 mins later. I would have expected them to give us something complimentary to make up for their error and the inconvenience but nothing.

Me and my family we enjoying the food always and would definitely recommend it

I’m very disappointed man.I ordered Pepe,s chicken rice box.leg p… they home barest pice. Who guys packing the food his behaviour very bad.I can’t like barest pice. Now how can eat my food😡😡😡😡😡I’m feeling very hungry 😡😡😡😡😡

The food is always great here but the service was a let down this time with delays for a collection order.

really yummy food very fresh and hot will defo be ordering again xx

Absolutely horrible customer service! Would not recommend ordering , even the wait time in the restaurant takes ages. Just ordered 2 hrs ago and still haven’t received food and called them but the lady was so lost she said she would check but ended the call. Horrible just horrible.
