The No Catch Co. in Brighton and Hove

The chips were the saving grace. I’m not vegan but am forced to eat this way and don’t get me wrong I love vegan food… however… I ordered the smoked tofish and it’s put me off food today. The smoked flavour was there but that’s it. The fish is more like soggy bread. I’ve had vegan fish fingers before which had a flakey feeling and fish taste but this today was disappointing. I will say the chips are some of the best I’ve had in Brighton. Also mine had a lemon but my partners didn’t. Needs more care too!

Lovely place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. It had been years since I tried vegan fish at a vegan festival and back then I didn't like it, if felt wrong as I found the texture and smell a bit too realistic and it just put me off. Now 8+ years vegan I was keen to give it another go and picked the 'haddock' and chips and I found it very tasty, so did my non-vegan partner. Of course you wouldn't confuse it for real fish and one of the customers tried to have a go at the staff for misleading them as they had thought they'd walked into a regular fish & chips place and once they tasted it they thought something wasn't quite right and what they had been given wasn't actually haddock (how they missed the massive Vegan sign outside, as well as everywhere on the Menu inside I do not know...). Overall I would go again and recommend it to vegans who used to enjoy fish or anyone feeling a bit adventurous and open-minded.

Great Vegan fish & chips. Highly recommended!

This was undoubtedly the best “fish” and chips I’ve ever had in my life! Excellent service, great quality of food, packaging, atmosphere, I’m absolutely in love ♥️ thank you for existing!

I was just passing by but remembering that Brighton is a haven for vegan diners, I looked up what was around and found this place. It was highly recommended on Happy Cow so we dropped in. The first problem was parking. It's a great location but Brighton is extremely expensive for parking. We parked in a street nearby and had to pay £10 for the pleasure. Not their fault but an additional expense to be aware of. It's a simple place, this little take away, with some seating for dining in. I opted for the latter. The cod and chips was sold out so I went with the smoked haddock. After a short wait, a fine looking "fish" and chips was brought out to me. The vegan haddock was fine. The batter was crispy and tasty. The filling was very edible though not quite the consistency of fish and a weird sweetness to it, kind of like someone had added a layer of maple syrup between the batter and the filling. It was nice enough but I would try something different next time. The chips were to die for. Wow! My wife, not vegan, remarked on how good the chips were too. They made the meal. I wasn't tempted by dessert, battered Oreos. The meal for one and a soft drink came to about £17 so not cheap but reasonable enough given this is not standard fare. It does reinforce the notion that you need to be reasonably well off to afford to be vegan. Overall a nice place with very nice staff working there. They were doing a roaring trade and there were food delivery drivers coming in to collect meals the whole time. Clearly very popular.

Well I love no catch, it is one of the main reasons I go to Brighton. Is nice to get take away and sit on the beach or when the weather is not so good eat in. The chips are probably the best chips anywhere, the ‘cod’ is my favourite but I think it’s all so tasty. Make sure you get a pickled onion and curry sauce to make it truly authentic.

it’s great to have a vegan chip shop, just as a heads up they no longer have gluten free fish options :( the staff were super apologetic and hopeful that it would return to the menu soon (fingers-crossed bc it was bomb). they do have one gluten free option and it’s basically a deep fried sausage—which is good but not the same, ya know? but still glad to have this as a vegan option for people who can eat gluten

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Our favourite fish and chips place! Thank you all so much for looking after us so well. Our son had a lovely birthday party.

Absolutely loved it here! Will be my go to whenever I am in Brighton. Can't wait to come back soon.

Such a lovely atmosphere, staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was so delicious, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Good, but... Got a takeaway from here in February 2025 as a couple. The chips were amazing, service was quick, staff member was welcoming and friendly, the place was clean and décor was cool. But, they had no vegan fish in stock (it was Saturday 5pm) no fake fish at all, so I had to order chips and battered sausage. Chips and battered sausage were amazing. So only reason 4 stars is no vegan fish on a Saturday. I could recommended though, amazing chips.

Incredible initiative, and even better food!

Really delicious and authentic take on 'fish' and chips. The texture of both the haddock and the cod bites was spot on, and the flavours accurate too. Golden crunchy chips and tartare sauce rounded out a really decent meal by the seaside. Friendly service in a clean, well presented and uncluttered restaurant. I will be back

Super quick friendly service and fantastic food. Loved the battered saveloy and the chips are just gorgeous

Hi! I am from Hong Kong. I visited this shop in 2022 and it was absolutely delicious, I will be in Brighton on 25Feb, would there be any chance i the shop would be open? Much thanks!! Much love James

Super tasty, friendly staff. Great for everybody. Especially good triple cooked chips - a vegan staple!!

Top place to eat in Brighton. Chips are excellent!

It’s a good idea, and I enjoyed my meal, but it’s not really what I was looking for.. the chips were much more like pub chips than chip shop chips.. I’ve had chips from chip shops all over the UK, dozens and dozens of them, No Catch was the only one to serve this style of chips… which tbh I’m not into. What I want, and what I think most people want, from No Catch is the authentic fish and chip shop experience.. just without the suffering. They haven’t quite achieved this and tbh it makes me not want to go back as it just doesn’t hit that spot. I had the battered sausage with mine, pretty sure these are the Richmond no meat sausages, however I have no issue with that as they are very taste, shame they’re not the classic length but it can be forgiven. The sausage did hit the spot, would be curious to try the ‘fish’.. But please, revise your chips!

Very good food. Calamari and sausages are both great. Staff was lovely. Also great tunes

Amazing food but so sad that it is not open on a Monday 😭😭😭

Fantastic place! Really loved our fish and chips.

Gr8, but was slightly disappointed it didn't come with a small tub of baked beans like advertised in the picture, but will definitely order again regardless 👍 .

The smoked cod supper is just the job. Eaten on the beach in summer, or cozied up against the cold in winter.

The smoked no-fish and the classic are super good!!! Copious plate. It’s just a shame that you have to pay for the sauces (peas, mayo, tartare, etc.) and the atmosphere of the place is a little minimal! But in summer, the atmosphere must be different than on a Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. ;)

Wow, super good! I would return without hesitation.

My favourite chips I've ever had! So crispy and salty and not too greasy or dry. I love the mushy peas and the fresh tasting tartare sauce. Have been so many times and never disappoints. Really hot too, so great for taking home/to the beach or getting as a delivery. And they have vegan dog treats too :)

Popped in 5 mins before closing so grabbed a takeaway - excellent service and great food with gluten free options - Dog friendly too

Chips were off the hook. Battered sausages were a really tasty treat and despite being battered and fried they didn't seem greasy. Lovely service. Great plaice for veggies who are looking for something different. Sorry about the pun there, I couldn't hold it in.

Such lovely food, the vegan fish is amazing! Lovely service as well.

I've never been veggie/vegan but this is somehow the best sausage & chips i've ever had?? if you're in brighton you have to check em out! (also super accommodating/reassuring when it comes to allergies & intolerances which I really appreciated!)

As I was in Brighton, I thought it was only right to get some fish and chips, so when I saw the vegan version, I was very happy. There’s a very good menu and plenty of space if you’d like to eat there. Service is very friendly and helpful The food was excellent and I’ve tried vegan fish a few times, but this was definitely the best one I’ve had and I’ll be going back again for more in the future (I live in London and have other options nearby, but this is worth the journey)

OH MY GOD. I had visited hoping for good things and Holy eff they did not miss! Seriously. The quality or this food is out of this world. The battery was fresh and crisp and light. The chips were perfectly cooked, fluffy inside, crispy outside - almost like the perfect roast potatoes but in chip form. All items are vegan but people should not let that stop them visiting because seriously the quality is superb. We tried the vegan sausage smoked haddock and cod and they were all delicious. I was actually surprised how much the smocked haddock tasted different to the cod because I expected a similar taste but it was so smokey and sweet! My two year old absolutely loved it. I will visit Brighton literally just to eat from this place in future.

Lovely food, friendly service, great value

Is the best vegan fish I've had in ages! And the chips were lush too. I'd come here just for the chips. Amazing

I’m not vegan but went because my wife is. I thought it was possibly the best fish and chips I’ve had. Cod was amazing and I don’t like tofu. Chips were brilliant. Would definitely go back

Best chips in town. Tried the haddock for the first time and it was delicious

My second visit to this amazing restaurant and it won't be my last! Nothing is better than the seaside and fish & chips, and now this treat is available to vegans too. The haddock and chips is to die for and portions are large. Price of drinks are a little excessive especially the Irn Bru and Ginger Beer which is being sold for £2.45 for a 330ml can!

Visited here with a vegan sibling who'd been raving about it and it is pretty good! The chips are wonderfully crisp whilst still be large fish and chips style, and the homemade tartare sauce was insanely good, with the pickles standing out. The fish tasted more like scampi than fish to me and the portion a little small, but was overall tasty with great firm texture. We ate in to avoid the cold and the place is a little sterile looking with it's white lights, but what fish and chip store isn't. I've taken a couple bites of the image below, but I believe it was £11.99. I'd say that's deserved if the fish was just a little bigger.

Generally brilliant. Don’t hesitate to go and try this place. Just like fish and chips… unbeatably brilliant.

Really happy with our meal at No Catch today, amazing food and service - better than our pre-vegan fish and chips days, no horrible greasy oily feeling after eating but no compromise on flavour and texture, the batter and chips were nice and crispy. Kevin who served us was really lovely and easy to talk to with great recommendations, fab customer service. Would definitely go back if visiting Brighton again.

Popped down Brighton for a night out and some take out. Great food Cod and Chips and a gluten free option. Thank you great service great spot.

What a little hidden gem! Freshly cooked and delicious 😋

I had heard about this place on instagram and when we visited Brighton just had to check it out. We had the tofu fish alternative with the nori seaweed skin with chips (obviously) . We also ordered the calamari and mushy peas. It was all lovely and the person serving behind the counter was very friendly. They made us feel welcome and we were entertained by their choice of music. A great visit.

I had the cod and chips and it was far more delicious than actual cod and chips. It had all the fresh, crispy, flakey deliciousness, with no bones and no sogginess. And best of all, no fish had to die.

Great place for a quick food. Grab a seat and enjoy the delicious vegan meal! Lovely!

Travelled to Brighton just for this and it did not disappoint!

Service and food great as ALWAYS but the server today (29th) went above and beyond to follow us after we left to give us our parking ticket that we left!! lovely people and lovely food🫶🫶

My daughter and I were staying around the corner and were delighted when we found No catch. We both ordered the 'cod' and chips, my daughter got the kids portion. They were only doing takeaway as it was late but that was fine with us. The restaurant itself was lovely and clean, decorated nicely and staff was friendly and helpful. We brought the food home and my daughter wasn't a fan so only ate the chips. I ate mine but within 30 minutes I was sick and then was sick for most of the night. It must have been the tofu as we both ate the chips. Even the smell from the bag made me so much that in between being sick I had to find a bin out of our room to throw it away. I hate that this happened as I love supporting fully vegan restaurants but I really was so sick for most of the night and have woken up still not well or able to eat which isn't ideal as we're only here for 2 nights!

Had the vegan cod and chips - loved the cod (which I had with GF batter) and the crispy thick chips. No compromise in flavour or appearance! Great to still have delicious fish and chip by the sea. 😍

Important to note this place doesn’t cater for coeliacs. At least they were upfront but as I am coeliac and I had to leave and eat elsewhere how many stars can I give? 🤷‍♂️

Sssoooo chuffed to be in this fabtastic place again and have this orgasmically scrummie food once more. Its the ‘only’ place we eat when visiting Brighton…. A total MUST for conscientious eaters ….most highly recommended x

Delicious vegan fish! Chips were so good as well

Absolutely delicious! Very convincing “fish”, delicious chunky chips and none of us were left with that gross greasy feelings fish & chips can sometimes give you. We all had the vegan cod and chips but there are plenty of options. A must visit for veggie and vegan fish and chip lovers!

Amazing experience, the ressemblance is really breathtaking. Really good service, I highly recommand !

Was actually amazed at this place, being newly vegetarian for around 20 days so far funnily enough the one thing I've been missing is prawns and fish which is weird because I was never even super into those foods. Decided to go with a couple of vegan friends to No Catch vegan fish and chips place yesterday evening. I have absolutely no idea what they use instead but was genuinely delicious and I could barely tell the difference.10/10 would eat again! The chips were by far some of the best chips I've had in Brighton too. All 100% Vegan

We have just had a very nice not cod & chips If we lived closer we would def go here again

Absolutely amazing vegan fish and chips , would highly recommend

Fantastic food, enjoyed by the vegans and non-vegans! 🐠

Simply the best vegan fish and chips!

Beautiful cod and chips. I’m not a vegan but could not fault the food, it was delicious and such a fishy taste. The batter was crispy and the chips fabulously crunchy outside and soft potato on the inside. Well done

I’ve loved No Catch for years and it never disappoints! Best chips in Brighton, really tasty fake fish, and all the money goes to an animal sanctuary to boot!

Outstanding flavour, the cod is amazing tofu wrapped in seaweed then battered is the best I've tasted on the seafront including the non-vegan spots here in Brighton Pier. I look forward to come here again for sure a spot for the summer day date. Wonderful environment and welcoming staff, for sure will recommend to the world a day in the life living in Brighton.

Great food here! Would recommend

If you are a vegan and want to taste the best chips in Brighton , I would highly recommend these people. They are fantastic and the food tastes so good. You will love it 100% guaranteed

Phenomenal. We cycled in from Worthing specifically to try it, and it was amazing. Lovely looking place (plaice?), friendly staff and great food, which just so happens to be vegan.

The no fish is pack with sea flavour. The atmosphere is superb. Very friendly and helpful staff. A place to come back

The vegan fish was so good, and the mushy peas paired perfectly.

I had vegan cod and chips, it was incredibly delicious and a big portion. High value for low cost.

My son was delighted with the deep fried oreo bites. I loved the tartar sauce and cheeky can of irn bru, and we'd rate the chips as the best in Brighton

Fab place. Lovely service and super quick. Plenty of choices.

Just Incredible, Had the smoked haddock and chips, faultless service and food

Great tasty food. Brilliant choice, quick, friendly service.

Delicious food, with friendly and accommodating staff. Great for vegan/veggie fish and chips

Best vegan fish i ever had wow The chips where also the best ive ever had If you dont eat animals or you just want to try something new this is really the best place to go:)

This is a MUST visit in Brighton. I came with my dog this time and the person at the counter saw us trying to take photos while we waited, and offered to take them for us 😊 the chips are very crispy and fluffy and I was very happy sitting by the west pier with my dog and chips from no catch.

10/10 experience! We visited Brighton and were so excited to see a vegan fish & chips shop, it didn’t disappoint. We’ll be dreaming of the amazing food until our next visit ❤️

No catch vegan restaurant is great. The food is great and the service is great too. Even if you’re not a vegan you should try it. Love it so much

Este lugar nunca decepciona. La comida es increíble, y es tan bueno que es totalmente vegano. Los perros son bienvenidos, así que nuestro lugar favorito para comer después de un paseo junto al mar.

As an omnivore who eats fish semi-regularly (and has tried vegan fish and chips before in other places and found it forgettable), No Catch some of the nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time of ANY kind, despite having no fish in it! The chips were perfectly soft yet crunchy, the batter was crisp, the 'fish' flavour was delicious and it was texturally shockingly similar to fish (maybe slightly too slippy/flaky, but I would never in a million years guessed it was vegan without knowing). The texture of the vegan calamari was astoundingly realistic (less fresh seaside calamari and more rings on a buffet texture, but really really close to the real thing in consistency). The tartare sauce was spot on, mushy peas well seasoned, and they stock Irn Bru. Need I say more! I would wholeheartedly recommend No Catch to vegans and non-vegans alike.

Lovely place..no pun intended :) chips were crispy with a lovely fluffy inside that stayed tastey right to the end of the plate. The battered sauages were the best vegan vege I've had in 32years of being vegan. Batter was crispy not to thin the sausage was firm altogether a lovely sausage. Tartar sauce was a minty smooth addition to the meal.. Chilled out tunes playing the back ground rih by the beach.

Very accommodating for gluten-free (GF batter and items), just ask when ordering. Shared fryer though, so not suitable for ceoliac, but the mushy peas are excellent.

Amazing food. Had vegan fish and chips for the first time. Loved the prawns and calimari.

Si eres vegetariano/vegano y quieres disfrutar del pescado inglés con patatas fritas. Este es el lugar para usted, tan encantador "pescado" crujiente con patatas fritas. Gran servicio y lugar encantador en primera línea de playa.

Talk about a replica of the real thing! Amazing “fish”. Went it skeptical but it tasted great. The texture was legit. I was blown away! Great work guys.

The best vegan fish and chips in existence! Absolutely delicious and tastes just like the real thing! Friendly and helpful staff and it would be worth the five hour drive to Brighton just for these fish and chips!

This place. Go to this place! Beautiful food and lovely people… The fish and chips are better than the actual real fish and chips from just up the road. Change is afoot.

best vegan fish & chips i’ve ever had! they also have gf options and a great service. 100% recommended , will be coming back

As a veggie I thought this was brilliant! Closest I’ve had to proper and chips in years.

I had the best meal I've had from a 'chippy'. Battered saveloy and chips. The chips were 'out of this world' delicious, as was the saveloy. Even my non vegan partner loved the chips. When my order arrived, it was brought to me where I was sitting. It's a shame I don't live nearer as I think I'd be visiting quite regularly 😋

La comida es deliciosa. He estado desesperado por pescado vegano, salchichas rebozadas y papas fritas, y esto me dio en el blanco. Era como si recordara pescado con patatas fritas. Mi única queja era que el servidor estaba claramente comiendo en el mostrador. Sin embargo, el servicio en sí fue rápido y cortés. El lugar está limpio y la comida estaba en el lugar... aunque un poco caro.

I'm not veggie but these were best fish and chips we've had in very long time.

Lovely staff amazing .. food sadly dying plants due neglected as they a part of decor wondered why.. not looked after allso. Toilet door allways open . Looking at loo when you eat in not a great look

Amazing! I’ve been veggie for 40 years and this is the best substitute I’ve had for battered cod. The chips are amazing too.

Love the food and thought here.

That was the nicest vegan fish and chips I ever had ❤️ Good children's portions as well.

Love it and I'm not veggie. Could do with background music, but apart from that.

Oh wow! Everything was great, I can't wait to go back and try every single item of the menu!

Excellent vegan restaurant! Closes early on Sundays!

Great (vegan) Fish & Chips! Very close to the Beach (beware of seagulls though).
