The best restaurants in Abbey South Daventry East Midlands

Great little pub. Quality beers and nice gins and wines for the ladies. Closes early, so don't leave your visit until last orders.

This place is amazing. I’m feeling as we’re back in the fifties, wonderful tea & teacake, proper hospitality, friendly, crockery to match the occasion and just a general good feeling. If visiting Daventry you must try this lovely place.

Located at the town center of Daventry, this shop boasts a wide range of ice cream, waffles, pancakes… However, what was most outstanding is their excellent customer service. Please don’t drop the bar.

A warm welcome and fabulous tasty food & desserts. What more do you need on a cold winter evening. We had the Rice & salad dish with the chick pea wrap. Followed by the mince pie festive cake in a tub & the out of this world delicious biscoff Cookie (it was huge). We will most definitely be returning on our next trip to Daventry. Well worth the trip just to visit again. Thank you 😁

The best Greek food I’ve had since living in Cyprus. I had the chicken souvlaki and my partner had the lamb souvlaki. Meat was moist and tender, halloumi was top quality. Prices very reasonable when you order directly with them. Will most definitely be back soon.

This restaurant is unhygienic and unclean. The short version is my daughter’s leg touched the underside of the table, there was a stranger’s sticky, used chewing gum there, which got stuck and ingrained onto her leggings. The restaurant manager has refused to cover the dry cleaning costs, which amount to £15 (Yes, that’s FIFTEEN POUNDS!). Photos attached…! THE DETAIL… After finding the gum, I notified waiting staff, but apart from being disgusted, they didn't have a procedure for dealing with it, so I asked for a plastic glove and picked the chewing gum off myself. My daughter was very distressed at having a stranger’s sputum-laden chewing gum on her, but there wasn’t much we could do (we were on a mini-break - going home to change wasn't an option), so we waited for our mains, which arrived after 40 minutes! Can’t comment too much on the food as I felt nauseated by the gum, so I only ate a tiny amount. Based on what I tasted, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again! Anyway, I paid fully for the food and drink we ordered. We were offered baklava, and myself and the other adult in the party refused, but my children accepted, and ate it. As I was leaving, I asked if I should invoice the restaurant for the dry cleaning or if I should drop the damaged item off in the morning, with a view that the restaurant would get it cleaned and post it back to me. I was told the manager would call the next day….they didn’t. Two days later, I emailed them to ask for a refund on the dry-cleaning costs, this was refused (“We are unable to do an exchange of cash or receive the trousers for dry cleaning”) with them stating their compensation had been ‘more than fair’. This ‘compensation’ had been an invitation to pop in next time I am in Daventry for a ‘treat’(!), but I had already explained to the manager that I live 1.5 hours away and did not have plans to visit again. After my second email they suggested the chewing gum could be removed with fluff/lint roller (I mean really, who has ever successfully removed chewing gum with a lint roller?). They set out the terms and conditions (you’d think I was asking for £150,000…) in order to pay up, but as of now, they have still not paid the £15 for the dry-cleaning and are quibbling it because it can only be paid into a business account, and they (Alacati Grill) must to be invoiced directly for the dry-cleaning, by the dry cleaning company, not by me. Unfortunately, the dry cleaners’ policy is that they will only accept items that are paid for immediately and they don’t invoice third parties. I did not and do not have the time, money or inclination to drive around attempting to find a dry cleaners that would invoice the restaurant, so I paid myself to get them cleaned (and let’s not forget that driving around – it’s a 24 minute round trip to the dry cleaners – costs petrol money too), so my daughter could have her leggings back to wear. I notified the restaurant of this, along with the dry cleaner’s details and proof of payment (VAT receipt, proof I wasn’t to scamming them, as that’s what it had started to feel like) and asked for a refund on the £15. It feels like I'm demanding a huge payout, but really,I would like the restaurant to admit responsibility and pay for the dry cleaning; I would never have had to pay the £15 if they had cleaned properly, so it all feels so frustrating. I would not recommend a visit to this restaurant, based on the fact that they've shown a complete lack of customer service skills, an unwillingness to take responsibility for negligent cleaning, ignored the Consumer Rights Act 2015, Chapter 4, Section 49(Service to be performed with reasonable care and skill – HA!) and worst of all, refused to pay a meagre sum of £15 to cover the cleaning costs. It's the most appalling customer service I have had the displeasure of experiencing, I would urge anyone who still chooses to eat there to wear plastic or disposable clothing.

I would highly recommend getting your fish & chips from here especially if you’re gluten intolerant as they have two nights a week where they can cater for you. Me and my friend come regularly on one of the gluten free nights. The fish is amazing and so are the chips, we always eat in and watch the world go by. The guys are so friendly we have a really good time with them. They even bring our coffees to us after we’ve eaten. Honestly the food is consistently delicious and well worth every penny.

Food is always fresh, never had issues with them

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 lovely, great place for dates and service is reallly quick and easy! Thank youuuu for being very welcoming and kind towards everyone! Merrrrry christmassss

Had a truly wonderful evening here. Fantastic service and the food was amazing. We spur of the moment decided on a Monday night curry with 3 kids in tow and couldn't believe what a hidden gem this place is! The atmosphere was buzzing and nothing was too much trouble. Ahad and the other chaps were so friendly and welcoming we'll definitely be back again. Thank you to everyone at Asia Tandoori 10/10

Meaty Picante ist the best Pizza i've ever eaten!

The cafe always seems to be shut. We have tried to visit numerous times but always shut. They do not seem to have regular times when it is open.

Me and my partner had a calamari and lahmacun starter which was lovely then we had a shared platter which was also really tasty, would go back again, nice place to eat out

Lovely coffee as always, but lunch was VERY disappointing. A very dry and barely pressed ‘tuna melt’ panini, there was no melt at all, and all I could taste were peppers. It looked rather sad on the plate, and tasted pretty sad, too. I have to say there are better places to eat lunch in Daventry, come on Coffee#1, up your game!
