More detail
Town centre, estates and student streets
Northampton's takeaways spread across the town centre, Far Cotton, Kingsthorpe, Weston Favell, Duston and the student areas near the university's Waterside campus. The mix includes Bangladeshi and Indian curry houses, Pakistani grills, Polish and Romanian food shops, Caribbean and West African kitchens, Turkish kebab shops, and pizza, chicken and Chinese takeaways.
Chefzi suits that mix. A meal deal is one item with the choices inside, so "two pizzas, a side and a drink" is one tap. Sizes, sauces and sides are options on each dish, with halal and vegetarian labels and allergen notes. On Plus, a text or email to your customer list on a quiet weeknight does the job a discount code would.
Delivery zones follow NN1–NN5 and nearby districts, with rising fees for longer trips, or switch to collection only when drivers are short. Set your own hours for each day for the late-evening trade, and mark holidays closed. Your link on Google and a QR code on every bag move regulars from the apps to you.
Chefzi has three plans, per location, ex VAT, billed annually: Starter £9 a month (£12 monthly) for your ordering website and menu, Plus £19 (£22) adding card payments and SMS and email marketing, and Pro £39 (£49) adding your own branded Android app and EPOS. 0% commission ever, the first month is on us, no credit card required, and we get you live in 24–48 hours.
Northampton takeaways in the Food Standards Agency register
Northampton sits inside the West Northamptonshire council area. The Food Standards Agency publishes its figures by council area, so the numbers below cover all of West Northamptonshire, not Northampton alone.
On 10 November 2026 the FSA register listed 249 takeaway and sandwich-shop businesses and 962 restaurants, cafés and canteens in West Northamptonshire, out of 3,904 registered food businesses. The postcode district with the most takeaways was NN1, with 60 (24.6% of the total), followed by NN3 with 38.
Of the 224 takeaways with a published hygiene rating, 52.2% were rated 5, compared with 61.9% of takeaways across England. A rating of 5 is the top score in the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. See food hygiene ratings for takeaways.
That is a lot of kitchens competing for the same customers on the same marketplace apps. A direct ordering page of your own, with 0% commission, is how an independent keeps the repeat customers it already has. See commission-free online ordering and the commission calculator.
