"I haven’t been to Michael’s Golden Chippie since before the pandemic. But I grew up in Daventry, and my family visited this chip shop since I was a child. I was in the neighbourhood yesterday and it was great to see they are still open and trading post pandemic. I enjoyed a battered jumbo sausage, and devoured a 1/2lb burger and chips. The battered sausage was fresh, juicy but not too watery, and the batter was evenly coating the sausage and evenly cooked. The chips were fluffy and they have always had the beautiful consistency of almost melting in your mouth. Michaels always have had the best chips I have ever tried…. And I’ve tried a lot. The burger was amazing and brought back memories. What I’ve always loved about the burgers at Michael’s, is the feeling that mum could have made it with love for you. And that is what is great about this place. The mum and dad who ran this chippie may have retired, but their sons are there, continuing the tradition. This business has a love of the food they produce, they care about their customers, and are proud of their community. It truly is a hub and when I went in yesterday, even after 5-years nearly, it was great to be recognised and welcomed HOME."
