Quick info
About Mr Chippy
Mr Chippy is a takeaway in Northampton, on Broadmead Avenue at number 69, that puts fish and chips, donner kebabs and peri peri chicken on a single menu. That spread lets one order cover fish, kebab and chicken. The fish and chips come with large cod and large chips as an option. Donner meat is served with chips as well as in kebabs, and chicken and chips includes a chicken breast choice. The kitchen cuts its chips by hand and says it sources its fish sustainably, which gives the traditional fish and chip side of the menu a clear starting point.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, with fish and chips at the center. Praise goes to the fish, called extremely tasty, and to lovely chips, with generous portions, peri peri chicken, donner kebabs and luxury soft naan also singled out. A friendly family run feel and a refurbished interior that looked great also come up. Close behind are complaints that outnumber the praise. Several describe food tasting of old oil, including reheated chips and chicken, burnt cod and burnt batter on battered sausages. One found a large portion of chips too small for a child and cold, with watery gravy, and another called a mixed donner meat gristly. Order mistakes recur: a burger meal with onions after asking for none, mushy peas missing, a chicken wing instead of breast, and mint sauce handed over in place of garlic mayo. Others mention difficulty being understood at the counter and unanswered phone calls. One long-time customer who called the oil stale was offered a complimentary fish and chips.

“9th June ordered two large cods / two large fries and the quality was so bad. The oil was old, burnt cod and the chips was so bad. The quality of the food has changed not how it was before. They should not be giving old-recook food / reheated food. The oil was stale old oil. Adding i tried to call for 4 days and everytime I spoken to the male he was acting like he doesn't understand me and also phone was silient many times I called and got hung up on. Then when I finally spoken to the manager she was was saying they keep the oil for 3 days, and I clearly stated to her the oil was more than that. I explained I have been going to this shop for over 10 years and she still didnt care going back and forth. It was then she offered a complimentary fish and chips when i told her she will be losing me and my family who order from here. She told me to order within 2 months. July Manager refused to offer after a month as I given a truthful review. So very childish behaviour where they do not care about loyal customers. The fact the manager knows ive been ordering for over 10 years and never complained. Yet her response was very poor. Will never be ordering for there again.”

“The food and service were amazing . Worth it”

“The large chips wasn’t even enough for one small child and to top it off the few chips we had were cold! The gravy might as well have just been water and the batter on the sausages was burnt however the curry sauce was edible! There were multiple members of staff just stood around watching us order and not one of them spoke to us. It’s like they’ve never seen another human honestly scary”
