Lovely spot to shelter from the rain on a showery day in September. The staff were really friendly and very lovely with our little pooch. We had a couple of pizzas and both were really tasty! Great place to pop in whilst enjoying the beach.

Parked in the beach car park for a couple of hours before going to our campsite. Paid a couple of hours parking. Ordered a pizza, which could have arrived and been eaten before we left. The last said she'd bring it over as we were parked right by there. Half an hour later, and my partner went to ask about it, only to be told they knew nothing about it and the original woman had 'gone out' but they would do it. '5 minutes' he said. Another 15 mins later it came. We'd had to buy another parking ticket. The prove for a 12" pizza was £11 ish. Massively overpriced, and none too generous with the toppings either, with one slice with just cheese and tomato on it, and most of the others not covered that well. Won't bother again

Just though I would balance the indifferent reviews out with my own review. We went here last week for a couple of pizza's. Pizzas were freshly prepared, generously topped and nicely cooked and the staff were polite and friendly. Place was busy (we went at about 18:30 ish but waiting time was not overly long - 10 minutes or so - just enough time to have a beer! Prices were as you would expect from Little London by the Sea with Surf (Rock being Little London by the Sea) but nothing to complain about. Can't compare to other places on the beach as we did not try anywhere else but The Galleon seems a perfectly fine place to have a pizza and a (bottled) beer.

I do not know why there are so many bad reviews for this place as my family and I had a couple of great experiences. Went for pizza one night, there was a bit of a wait but that’s to be expected when all the pizzas are made fresh. They were tasty with plenty of toppings and I really like the thin base. Later in the week we had lunch, the hotdogs are massive (wife and daughter could have shared one). The smoothies are also really nice. Found the staff friendly and helpful. Worth a visit after or during a day on the beach.

Great little cafe next to the beach with friendly helpful staff and great pizzas. Plenty of seating inside & out Fresh wood fired pizza made to order (be prepared to wait but it’s worth it) fresh ingredients, generous on the toppings and very tasty. Great choice on the menu and value for money. Just one side note - this cafe is card only and it clearly states this on the door (heard a poor member of staff getting a hard time by someone who obviously couldn’t read & follow clear instructions!!)

We had great pizzas but I just wanted to highlight how unprofessional the staff are and it all stems from one tall guy(nose piercing) bossing people around and telling people to do their jobs only because Helen was here tonight ( presuming Helen is the boss?) but quite frankly he could not manage s**t. He was sat out the front smoking, swearing, saying how much a chore his job is and buying wine for close up but mentioning it in front of customers. I feel sorry for the staff who work him and the owner who has him to represent the face of the business.

Appalling. No other word. The worst pizza I have had for years. £13 fir a very scantily clad pepperoni that was not cooked…..most of the dough was sticky and raw. Total of nearly £17 fir an awful pizza, very average coffee and a coke. The ginger lad that served me was very nice but that was the only small bright light in an otherwise dismally black experience.

A place to remember; for those who love a cracking breakie or an epic pizza in Polzeath Bay, this is the place to feast and indulge. We started off our bank holiday with a scrummy ‘Surfer’s Breakfast’ sided with a delicious freshly squeezed glass of OJ served by a lovely young man. The polite service from the kitchen staff was a pleasant addition to our first visit in the morning. We later returned that evening in high hopes for an equally good pizza and it was safe to say we were far from disappointed. There was a great vibe made better by the staff and the jolly good banter they were having with the customers: we were quite entertained! See you very soon the Galleon, I hope to be down in October and to eat splendidly with the fellas again.

One of them finished her tasks but made no attempt to take my order or even acknowledge me at all. Having stood there for about 5 minutes and being ignored I went to the cafe on the sand and had two excellent coffees and a toasted sandwich. Never again, which is a shame as it is in a prime location.

I always head to the Galleon Café for coffee and snacks when at Polzeath. You get a decent coffee in a real mug and then can return all day for £1 refills. This is an authentic Cornish beach café, you are perched on the edge of the beach car park, but there is an inside area if the weather is not great. A reminder for those that want fast food London service, take time to chill. There is an easy going feel, with laid back young people serving you. So take your time and enjoy being on a fabulous Cornish beach with a real coffee.Pizzas are a treat as well, which you can watch cooked in the pizza oven outside.

For pizza on the beach when you’re still all in your wetsuits after surfing, they’re brilliant. We’ve been five times in two weeks and always brilliant. It may be a bit slow in busy times, each pizza is cooked to order in a wood fired oven, so if there’s a family of eight in front you’ll have a bit of a wait. The vegetarian pizza is so tasty, though I’d add some prosciutto! (If you want burger and fries though go to Macdonalds in Newquay).

I work in catering myself so my tolerance of bad food and service is a lot higher as sometimes I understand it’s difficult when it’s busy. However....this place would test anyone’s patience, we ordered 2 traditional breakfasts and was told the wait would be up to 30 minutes due to it been busy, completely fine, I understand so proceeded to sit and drink my coffee. 30 minutes past and a trip to the loo was needed.....no toilets on the premises!! 1 hour later, we were order number 37 and the young teenage lad was shouting 39 which was 3 traditional breakfasts, at this point my partner kindly shouted excuse me we are number 37, the young lad muttered an apology and went to get our food. Well the food.....I wish I’d not bothered waiting to be honest, the bacon was cremated, eggs stone cold, toast dry and cold and I could go on. I wouldn’t mind but this place is not cheap and the food and service is ridiculous, I genuinely don’t know how it’s still open to the public. Please don’t bother wasting your time and money here, if I had the choice I wouldn’t have even rated this 1 star.

Family evening in a quick bite place where we all had pizza. Tables inside are not big enough for four people to sit and eat pizza. I sat separately which must have set me out for special treatment. Ordered Meat feast.Arrived with meat on, a selection of ham,ham and ham. No pepperoni, no salami and no chicken. Also paid for the chili pack of which only one of the three items came on the pizza. When I pointed out to the staff she offered to sort it but that would have meant it coming back with cold items thrown on top, or thrown back in the oven to come back predominantly burnt or prepare and cook a whole new one which would have resulted in me sitting watching everyone else tucking in and then finally eating mine after everyone else had finished their, just take it as it was meal. I chose to go for the lesser of three evils and just take it as it was. The icing on the cake ? When we were halfway through, the girl came over and asked if we wanted any more drinks, only I asked for another and requested another bottle of cider. I sat and waited but it never came. At no time did any member of staff attempt to compensate for the fact that I didn't get what I ordered and even billed us for the full price despite it having only one of the four meats as per the menu, which for me is indicative of poor customer service and they were either ignorant of this or just didn't care. On the upside the bowl of chips we ordered came and were ample. My family enjoyed theirs. Overall for me,it was POOR!

We've had ok but pricey pizza here a few years in a row. Checking my bank statement today from our most recent holiday I can see that they charged me for the pizzas on the day we were there. They then charged me again a few days later! No idea how that worked but it seems dodgy. A few days later they refunded me. This is all via my credit card so I guess they weren't able to contact me to tell me but a) what sort of glitch allows you to recharge customers a few days after they've been there and b) what if they hadn't realised and hadn't refunded? If I go again I'll be paying cash.

Ordered the ‘salad baguettes’ which were said to come with tomato cucumber and overfilled gourmet fillings on a bed of salad. After waiting around 35 minutes we received rock hard bread, with stale lettuce and very little filling, no cucmber or tomato in sight. This was served in a bowl with a small portion of wilted rocket and incredibly stale nachos. No exaggeration you could bend the nachos in half without them breaking, they have clearly been left out for an incredibly long time. This was completely disgusting and was also an outrageously small portion for £6.90. Speciality milkshakes were also a huge let down. For £4.80 I received an extremely small and flavourless milkshake. A member of my family ordered just a simple bowl of chips which took 25 minutes to come out and when I went in to ask what was taking so long I was met by the site of all staff members either messing around with each other or sitting on their phones. This was instead of trying to fulfil the many orders they had or clean the absolutely disgusting tables around the cafe. Food is disgusting and drastically overpriced, staff are rude, lazy and the cafe is poorly run. I’ve been coming here for years now and every year this place seems to get worse, this is just the straw that broke the camels back. Take your custom to one of the many other better places around the beach.

We were looking for a place for coffee one day and popped in to this place, which is right on the beach, to have a look and were put off by how it looked as it has a very basic décor with what appears to be large blue plastic tables and blue benches. It was empty so we gave it a miss.

Prime location could deliver so much more. They have a small amount of tables and do takeaway but they just cannot cope. Whilst we visited people were waiting over a hour for food and then instead taking a refund. It has real potential but it needs to be staffed. I felt very sorry for all involved staff and customers. Just staff it and it could be fab. We waited 45 minutes for breakfast way too long - I hope they can get this sorted as the staff were friendly and seemed really embarrassed .

Brilliant service, lovely food and good prices. Really helpful, with it being right next to the beach, as if you buy a hot drink in the morning, you can get a re-fill for £1 throughout the day. You get a lot of food, and all of it is delicious. There is also wood-fired pizza that is nice. I definitely recommend this place and I would come back.

Absolutely terrible! Unfriendly and untrained staff stood around doing nothing, dirty tables, just apalling!

They cook pizzas in a wood oven. That's the only upside. Downside, pizza was burnt and undercooked at the same time (!) Staff were bored teenagers who were rude and got multiple orders wrong. When we said toppings were missing they told us to help ourselves to missing toppings. Which. I'm sure health and safety would be pleased about. Anyway. Pizzas were expensive and crap.

The pizza base is pre made and toppings added. It was wood fired. It is very near the beach which is handy but pizza is pretty average and made by bored teenagers.

We had a couple of very nice breakfasts here and for £12 for 2 I thought this was pretty good although the juices and milkshakes were expensive all day refills of hot drinks is fantastic. We had the surfers breakfast and the American pancakes with sausage, bacon and maple syrup. All delicious. The service was friendly. The restaurant is slightly worn but with good food and a great location we could over look that.

Advertises wood fired pizza with handmade bases and natural ingredients. Not the case, our pizzas were undercooked, bases stodgy and toppings poor quality. Very expensive. Outside tables were also dirty. Do not recommend.

Looking through the reviews some people recommend this place (which is why we went) and it looks like nearly all of them had the pizzas. A group of 8 of us went in and unfortunately none of us had the pizzas! We had everything from burgers to sandwiches to scampi and now I understand the remainder of the reviews. It was truly awful, maybe the worst place I've been for 5 years. I thought it might be that nobody seemed to be in charge, but actually it was because the raw ingredients used were appalling. All cheap frozen ingredients put on a plate and marked up by 500%. Even if the staff had cared and there had been someone in charge there would have been nothing they could have done to make the food taste better. We decided my daughter's burger was the best thing we ordered, because it didn't arrive at all. I have left a lot of trip advisor reviews in my time, and 99% are totally positive, but I needed to add my voice to the others and tell you not to go unless you want pizza!

We popped in for a family breakfast on our last morning in Polzeath. Despite it not being that busy, the food took a full hour to arrive and it was no more than okay when it eventually came. Tables around remained uncleared and the whole place was in chaos. The “manager” was in a spin and telling baffled customers that it would take an hour to bring out a bacon sandwich?!

Miserable service and underpaid teenagers working the kitchen make this the worst place to now eat in Polzeath. After waiting 45 minutes for our breakfast, sipping overpriced hot chocolate made with water, our very average breakfasts arrived with dirty cutlery 3 times. Much better places to spend your mornings!

Galleons looked after us very well, and made us feel at home instantly. Overall, the food was very nice, and the service was interactive and friendly. It felt really nice to see the staff behind the counter, ready to answer your every request with a smile on their face. The dinners were delicious, and the wide variety of options on the menu each night made our decision hard! Breakfast each day was really nice, and we felt honoured to be offered a fully cooked, hearty English Breakfast, or granola with yoghurt/milk/soya milk along with pancakes and honey! The fact that we were offered the choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate every day kept us going through the early morning surf sessions. The atmosphere was nice in the café, and it was a pretty sea view out of the big windows! There was a noticeable theme to the café - vintage VW caravans! All in all, we really enjoyed our meals and service at Galleon Beach Café. Thank you very much, and we hope to be back soon!

We had the wood fired pizza and ate it on the beach - it was delicious! Food is well priced and swiftly prepared.

We have been visiting Polzeath for some 30 years and the Galleon cafe used to be one of our favourite cafes with its ideal location just off the beach.The Galleon came under new ownership fairly recently and I was shocked to find that you can no longer get a Cornish Pasty. The message was delivered in a not particularly friendly tone so I walked out and having read the Tripadvisor reviews I think the staff did me a favour

Visited here yesterday evening, ordered a 'Chicago Taxi Driver's supposedly pizza sauce, mozzarella and a double portion of pepperoni with the explanation of the pizza saying everything must be bigger and better if you come from Chicago, for £12.90 had high hopes what turned up was a pretty lame looking pizza with around 6 pieces of pepperoni (imagine a single helping!)and the sauce was what one other person decribed the taste as what the sauce tastes like in spaghetti hoops when you are a kid. All round pretty rubbish, best described as a poor pizza that is expensive and the only selling point is that is on an amazing beach or it would be out of business!

We had high hopes but the two staff members did not clear or clean tables and did not seem to care too much about customer service. Where the cafe is could not be better, right on the beach. Free coffee refills are available all day!

Popped in here first sunny weekend in March in mid afternoon. We clearly got the dross from the kitchen, sandwich made with the crust of the bread, chips so dark they had clearly been kicking around a while. The menu promised overfilled sandwiches, the filling was meagre at best. Gosh fingers were over cooked solid and the sweet potato fries soggy. Two mains and a child’s all came to almost thirty quid so not cheap

Had a takeaway and have to say really very impressed. Well cooked, crispy bottom, fresh flavours. Better than some well known pizza chains, Suspect there may be another one this week! Very good for vegetarians. Friendly staff and felt clean and safe, thank you.

Wonderful customer service, had a fault paying with points, server and manager were on point with advice... Still got festive black forest hot chocolate with the bean still added to my account. Few and far between baristas carry the fire of costumer service and these make that mark.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food lovely. They even took something back and kept it warm for a member of our party who had to leave for a bit.
