My wife and I chose to eat at the Black Cat for our wedding anniversary, having been influenced by the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. We both were very disappointed! Whilst the waitor was very positive and engaged with us immediately it was clear he was trying to get a 'quick turnover' with the table being a Saturday night (the restaurant... More

Staff were friendly and helpful, the whole place had a lovely... More

Went for dinner here and were really impressed by simply delicious and excellent value food. The sticky rice and curry was the best I have ever had. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

We read the reviews on the black cat and decided to give it a try and have to say we were not disappointed. It was a Friday night and We hadn't booked but they found us a table. The staff were all friendly and the food extremely tasty and everybody in the restaurant was happy. Would definitely recommend

A lovely family run Thai restaurant, serving great traditional Thai food. All dishes are presented well and taste great, when placing your order they ask how hot you would like it, I eat hot curries, but i would recommend ordering a medium if you want hot!!!!!! We had the set meal for 4, great selection and plenty of food. Recommend... More

After many years of walking on by we finely ventured into the Black cat on Friday night and I have to say I have been missing out! From the outside looking in to be honest it does look a little bizzare but once inside you can appreciate the charm and character of what is a very established family run business.... More

This is a fairly small but intimate family run Thai restaurant. The food is out of this world and well worth trying. I would recommend the set meal for 4 people as you get to try lots of dishes and have a good mix of starters. It is not the cheapest of restaurants but is lovely for a treat or... More
