Very nice venue. Nice surroundings, good food and excellent service. Been a few times and never had any reason to question the place. Beats any of the locations in Hull City centre.

The breakfast here at Black Cat is better than those I have recently eaten at 4 star Doxford Hall in Northumberland. Great location. Nice food. Friendly staff. Very popular.

Cute little place! Not much space for a crowded day, but very attentive staff. Scones were well evaluated by person that joined me, and they also have gluten free options.Tea was good!

We have been coming here a lot of years but today we were very disappointed. Booked a table for 1.30 my brother who has a brain tumour and on chemo was asked to leave as the blonde lady manager said he arrived too early even though nobody was sat at our table. He then had to walk around in the cold waiting for me to arrive at 1.30. By this time he was very cold and upset . Never had this before with the owner who is very friendly and always welcoming.

Lovely cafe with great food. Locally sourced sausages and bacon are really yummy!

Visited with friends for a pre-'big birthday' Afternoon Tea. Food and drinks were delicious, service attentive and ambience relaxed and friendly. They also catered for one of my friends with a nut allergy and checked her requirements both before and during our visit., which was reassuring. We could not quite finish all of our Afternoon Tea offerings, but the staff kindly offered us a box to take home our leftovers for later. All in all, was a lovely afternoon- would definitely recommend.

Had the most amazing Afternoon Tea the sandwiches , cakes , scones with jam and clotted cream where to die for. Had many in my time but this was one of the best. Congratulations to the owners and staff of making it such a fantastic experience. We’ll done to all.

Booked afternoon tea for a friends birthday, and we were so impressed. Options of which sandwich fillings we wanted individually and same for the homemade cakes...no little slices here the cakes were so big we had to ask for a doggy bag. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Two of us were running 30 minutes late due to being caught in traffic, but the staff were fantastic and told us we could still have the table for as long as we wanted. We will certainly be back. Thank you to all at the black cat for the amazing afternoon tea and service

Popped in for a cooked breakfast the other morning & it was delicious. Great quality ingredients, piping hot & fast service. My wife had a scrummy sausage sandwich. Would highly recommend if in the area.

When taking an elderly lady who has poor mobility out for lunch and having called in advance to ask if we are welcome at 15.15 I did not expect at 16.00 to be stood over and more or less to be told to move as the chair’s needed to go inside. Not very business like. Won’t be returning.

We stopped by one day for lunch and was so full we returned a few days later to try the cakes. Slightly expensive with lots of staff dwindling about in the background which we found a bit random but the staff that did serve where nice enough. I'd say what really let's it down is the greasey smell, I'm not veggie but I personally found it overpowered everything else and was a bit off putting, more so on our second visit when we had coffee and sweet cakes.

My Saturday morning breakfast. No complaints. Great food, service, atmosphere.

Full marks - lovely cafe in a great location. I don’t want to affect anybody’s score at all as that’s not what I’m about, but…If I can give one constructive criticism - it says dementia friendly on the door - but you’re creating more confusion by telling customers to sit down to order when there’s a counter to order from, so it’s table service, but you’re making customers pay at the counter and not at the table. Should be order at the counter, therefore pay at the counter or order at the table and pay at the table.Odd experience.
