Who needs the sea based stuff????

Fantastic place - amazing chips - like beyond amazing. We had smoked haddock (such a great flavour), cod (lovely and plainer) and battered saveloy. All superb. Don't get me started on the tarter sauce - superb ... thank you No Catch ;)

Pros: The chips, The fish, The saveloy

Cons: Like - no!!!!!

So, so good!

Really love the food here and the staff are really nice, too. It's hard to find vegan fish as delicious as this and really great to be able to enjoy it so conveniently in central Brighton.

They have a decent selection of side dishes to go with your meal. Will definitely keep coming back to this place.

Pros: Cosy venue, Friendly staff, LGBTQIA+ friendly

Cons: A bit expensive

Amazing vegan fish & chips

This has to be the future of the great British chippy ! Why trawl the oceans when (Fish) & Chips can taste this good. Take your fish eating friends and pescatarians ( whatever the hell that is!)

Pros: Great tasting food, Excellent real chippy menu, Warm and happy staff 😀

Cons: There isn't one in every town :(

Didn’t Disappoint!

I wanted to visit this fully Vegan Fish and Chip restaurant and finally got a chance to recently. We were going to get some takeaway, which a lot of people seemed to be doing, but we ended up sitting in. It’s not a fancy restaurant, rather more like a cafe. The food we had was so good. I ordered the ‘Cod’ and my friend had Jumbo ‘Shrimp’. We both had chips and curry sauce as well. If you gave this food to someone who wasn’t vegan, I don’t think they’d realise they weren’t actually eating fish. When I’m in Brighton I’ll be visiting No Catch again and actually hope they open a London cafe at some point.

Pros: Vegan , Eat in or Takeaway. , Friendly Staff

Caught a lot of love for the food at No Catch

Tried the saveloy and chips, and the tofish bites. Both were yummy! Great location, with the option to take your food to go - and presumably, sit and have your meal on the seafront, which is right across from this location. Look forward to visiting again some time.

Pros: Delicious food, Seafront location, Zero waste (wooden cutlery)

Disappointing tasting food unfortunately

I absolutely love earthling Ed and everything this restaurant stands for (ethos etc.) but unfortunately we were both really disappointed with the food.

In terms of positives, the cod was very good and they give really good sized portions. Chips were also nice but did need more salt. The food also came out hot and was really well presented. The staff were very friendly too.

Negatives / things to work on - the aioli was extremely bland (tasted like sour cream), curry sauce tasted quite watered down / bland, mushy peas also bland / not very enjoyable. Also found the calamari to be bland.

We were also a bit disappointed to not see reusable cutlery / pots - I'm sure these were compostable / recyclable but feel like for a sit down meal reusable is the best way to go?

Was really hoping it would blow us away and really sorry to give 3* :(

Amazing Fish and Chips (vegan style)

We had the vegan cod fish and chips and smoked haddock fish and chips and both were so good especially the smoked haddock. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Looking forward to my next trip to Brighton to try the other options.

Pros: All vegan, Fabulous food, Friendly service

You'd never know !

Nipped in at the weekend while down Brighton for the day to try the No Cod & Chips, and glad we did, Appearance wise, the shape was wrong, but the batter and the texture were spot on. My Daughter said it was uncomfortably like the real thing, and she wasn't wrong ! The triple cooked chips were great too, Best vegan fish and chips we've had !

Pros: The taste, Friendly staff, Packaging

Fab-u-lous!

I hope they open up more branches, preferably near me. However, given that I live in Yorkshire, I guess that's not likely. Still, one day, maybe... :-)

Pros: What's not to like?!

Cons: Er..., Nothing!

Best chippy I’ve ever had!

Literally no words to describe how blinking delicious this was. We had the chips, vegan battered sausage, vegan shrimp, vegan prawns and vegan cod. There was a little bit of a wait but was 100% worth it. None of it disappointed and the girl behind the counter was lovely.

Not to be missed!!!

We shamelessly stuffed ourselves at No Catch on more than one occasion. Already fans of the fish and chips, from their Unity Diner connections, we were excited to try the smoked version.

The jumbo lemon shrimps, tempura prawns and jumbo saveloy are also fabulous!

Great location on the seafront with outdoor seating and literally a stone’s throw from the beach if you want to eat your “fish” and chips like other visitors to Brighton.

Can’t wait for our next visit!!!

Pros: Amazing vegan take on fish and chips, Great location, Warm welcome and friendly service

Very tasty!

My mate and I shared a regular “Cod and chips” because we wanted to try the calamari and shrimp as well. I will definitely visit again and great day trip from London. There is nice seating inside but the next time I visit I will get takeaway and just walk across the street and site on the beach. 👍🏾🌱

What a find!

Stumbled across while walking along the seafront and did not disappoint! The food was divine and such an upgrade from my usual chippy order. Having never eaten fish before, I have no basis for comparison to the "real thing", but staff were lovely in helping me choose a dish. Would recommend to anyone!

Pros: Staff were lovely and helpful, Food was amazing, Lots of choice

Cons: Busy around dinnertime!

So good!

Best vegan fish & chip offering in Brighton! Nothing is too greasy or fatty or fried in too much batter. Left feeling full and happy! No reaction from my MSG or Gluten stuff and would massively recommend.

Pros: Everything is vegan , It’s good enough that the pescatarian enjoyed it!
