No Catch

No Catch is a vegan fish and chip shop on Brighton’s seafront, offering an ethical plant-based take on a familiar British takeaway format. Located at 127a Kings Road, the venue combines eat-in and takeaway service in a setting suited to casual meals by the coast.

The menu focuses on alternatives to traditional seafood rather than conventional fish. Battered fish-style options sit alongside plant-based versions of prawns and calamari, giving diners a range of choices beyond a single fish substitute. The food is designed to provide the texture and familiarity associated with a fish and chip shop while using entirely vegan ingredients.

No Catch’s identity is closely tied to concerns about the environmental and ethical effects of fishing. The venue presents plant-based seafood as a way to reconsider established eating habits, with its approach shaped by the impact of fishing on ocean ecosystems, fish populations and marine habitats. That purpose gives the food a clear environmental context without taking it outside the recognisable fish and chip shop tradition.

The atmosphere is informal and straightforward, with the format working for a quick meal, a relaxed eat-in stop or food to take away. It can suit vegans and diners interested in trying seafood-style food without animal products, as well as anyone looking for a different interpretation of a British seaside staple. The menu’s range of fish-style and shellfish-style alternatives also makes it suitable for diners who want plant-based food that feels familiar rather than entirely unfamiliar.

As a seafront venue, No Catch fits naturally into a day spent around the coast, whether the plan is a short meal stop or takeaway food before continuing along the shoreline. The location, accessible fish and chip shop format and clear vegan focus make it a practical choice for casual coastal dining.
