Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that the chip portions feel on the smaller side compared to other places. While the quality of the chips is never in question, larger appetites might leave wanting more.
A few reviews reflect the casual atmosphere as potentially noisy during busy lunch times, making conversation more challenging. For those seeking a quiet meal, timing your visit wisely can help avoid peak crowds.
While many appreciate the menu variety, a longing for more creative vegetarian options has surfaced. Diners looking for a broader selection may find the current offerings a bit limited.

Every time I have had the Fish it has been amazing, fresh and well sized. The cheese bites are epic and the option of lard or cooking oil is awesome and unique to this place. Go maybe once or twice per month and its good every time. Service is always good.

What a wonderful surprise!! I have not had such BEAUTIFUL fish and chips since....well, since I don't know when! You may be like me and find fish and chips are invariably a disappointment....they look good, they smell good, but the taste is anything but. So we usually bypass the fish and chip shop. But a spur of the moment decision saw us devovouring the yummiest takeaways we have had for a long, long time. They were hot and crispy, not soggy or fatty. The fish was a generous portion of bluenose, and cooked perfectly. YUM! Well done Black Cat Takeaways, your staff are to be commended. We'll be back!!
