Polpeor Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Even though the cafe was closed the ladies kindly did a take out tea and scone with jam and cream for me which I really appreciated.

This is a wonderful wonderful piece of heaven, that is open in January - hoorah although would love it if it stayed open longer! Came here first around 10 years ago and the food hasn't changed - still the sane delicious menu. Good value and fabulous views! Love it!

Very disappointed, have been visiting this cafe for many years now and have enjoyed a few nice breakfasts prior to a walk, it appears this cafe is under new management or ownership, you now have to wait to be seated and no longer get a choice as to where, if you are a party of two you will usually get shoehorned into a corner as they concentrate on bigger parties, we’ve now had three bad visits in a row, all with issues or missing ingredients, the only consistency is poor quality and not cooked well, at this price point ingredients should be better using local products as it once was, you are now only paying for the view it seems, I will no go elsewhere

This is a very nice cafe perched atop the cliffs with glorious views out to sea. We stopped off for a drink and something to eat. The Veggie burger was excellent. To enter the cafe you need to go down the side between it and an outhouse. The very obvious sliding door is not to be used! Plenty of seating both inside and out, along with friendly and helpful staff.

We came here for a coffee and cake mid afternoon. I had the chocolate cake and my husband and daughter had a doughnut. The cakes were lovely although I could have done with more cream. The views over the sea were amazing. There is a national trust carpark a 5 minute walk away. The prices are expensive but you are paying for the lovely location.

What an amazing place to have a bite to eat. Right on the cliff edge of Lizard Point where, if you're lucky with the weather, you can sit and watch the sea while spotting seals. The staff were so friendly and accomodating and even brought out binocculars for us to use. We had a cream tea and they were huge. Six scones between four of us and 2 massive pots of jam and cream, absolutely delicious! I could have happily sat there all day.

Fantastic food from a great little restaurant with a beautiful outlook. The food they produce from such a small venue is outstanding,

The greatest location spoilt by terrible fish and chips ! Having saved having traditional fish and chips all week waiting for that special location we thought we had found the spot !fantastic views, great staff and dog friendly however the fish and chips were a total let down ! Expecting something really good as advertising fresh fish, we received half cooked battered fish, and thin frozen French fries! Couldn’t eat the fish as the uncooked batter was still coating the part cooked fish ! As we were on a time limit we didn’t say anything to the staff as they had been so accommodating and had already told us these were the last two cod available… sadly a spoilt lunch that weren’t cheap at £14.95 each…. Very disappointed and left feeling unwell all afternoon ☹️

This was a return visit for us and we were not disappointed. We sat outside and watched the waves crashing and seals bobbing. We had beautiful fresh fish and chips and it was delicious. The best cafe in Cornwall for so many reasons.

Quirky, friendly and beautiful scenery. We had the cream tea for 2, just what we needed on a blustery autumn afternoon. The signs inside answer the most common questions which helps. Great place to sit & relax whilst having a good warm up with a brew. We really enjoyed the visit

Nice cafe with spectacular views and hasn't changed for as long as I can remember. A little cramped on the inside, but you could say the same for most cafes I suppose. Large menu with plenty of options and reasonable prices. Scones for the cream tea were soft and really big (I have a really sweet tooth but I'd struggle to eat 2 so I'd recommend sharing a cream tea between 2 people if you can). Had lunch there on another day (lasagne and ploughmans) both of which were nice enough but nothing to get excited about. Waitresses on both occasions were very nice and one even came outside to point out seals to customers and hand out binoculars. Overall recommended as a decent place to get lunch or a snack when down at the point.

Great position overlooking the sea 👍 Beautiful frontline sea view. Fantastic & friendly staff , who aim to please. We had a cream tea We had 2 warmed scones with cream & jam Delicious !! We ended up taking some home with us as there was too much !! We were very lucky with the weather and got to see seals with binoculars borrowed from the cafe Dog friendly - the staff came with treats for our pooches Will return again on our next visit Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Have been visiting here since 1966. Still has same charm and location is so special. Have celebrated many holidays and ensured where had my 50th Birthday Supper when used to bring own drinks for evenings. So far with weather been able to get down for 2 excellent breakfasts. Staff always excellent. Location stunning with freshly cooked food to match. A must on your holiday bucket list.

A beautiful spot by the coast. Lovely food. The mackerel and cream cheese pate was excellent. Good service too

We have been visiting this lovely cafe for many years. The food is excellent and the views are fantastic. Today our experience was spoilt because of the staff. Normally there is a really relaxed atmosphere. If you want to sit outside to eat you just chose the table you want and someone will be there to take your order. We were met with someone trying to promote food we didn't want and then we were pushed onto a table we didn't want. She even told my husband to move his chair back into position as he had changed it to be able to see the sea better !!! A couple sitting next to us had a similar experience with the attitude and because of that decided to just have a drink and go and eat elsewhere. Please don't change the relaxed experience !!!!

Always head to here when in Cornwall. Never disappointed. Service great, two fish pies lovely taste and not dry. Took two cream teas home. Highly recommend. Lovely views.

This is becoming an annual visit for us and this time we had daughters and grandkids in tow. As usual the staff were fun and engaging which is often not the case in such popular spots. We ordered eight different breakfasts and it all came...

Stunning location, great menu and friendly staff. We ate here more than once during the week, and it was perfect every time. The fish, cajun spiced salad, scones and the best Eton Mess I've ever had, all served up right on the cliff edge overlooking...

Lovely little cafe with stunning views of the sea. The girls were lovely in there and very accommodating for us as a group of 11 over 2 tables. My friend and I wanted a cream tea and it was delicious. Thankyou

Always visit the Polpeor every time we are in Cornwall, sadly this time was an emotional visit for a bereavement. As usual the service, food was at its usual standard which puts many restaurant to shame, thank you once again for your kind words

Great service and beautiful view. Food was very good and all plates were cleared. Dog friendly and they even got a bit of a snack from the excellent staff. The special was a steak baguette which got served promptly and devoured equally quickly.

Beautiful food with amazing views and perfect service would highly recommended. The best cream tea in Cornwall ❤️

Outstanding service, staff are so nice and friendly. lovely choice of food with an amazing view, definitely worth a visit.

Hadn't been here for a few years but wow, it never fails. We are a family of four - had lunch, did a coastal walk and came back for dessert. Food was delicious, service was excellent. Look forward to our next visit. Super!

Stopped here for a refreshment break after a wonderful walk along the cliffs. Staff were attentive and polite. The view was amazing and got a tan as well. We could have sat here all afternoon, it was very pleasant and the prices were good too

A must visit when in Lizard. Beautiful views, beautiful food and fantastic service!! Probably the most amazing scone I’ve ever had! Thoroughly recommend!!

As a group of six we stopped at the cafe for brunch before walking along the cliff side walk of Lizard. The waitress was very friendly and helped us with our enquiries about Gluten Free options due to three of us being Coeliac (family curse)....

We visit this place every year when we holiday in Cornwall. Excellent location, lovely staff and really tasty food. We had the cheese ploughmans and Fisherman's platter - we would highly recommend both dishes.

We visited last year and loved it. Returned this year and it’s just as good. Delicious food. We had the HM luxury fish pie , HM crab cakes served with fresh colorful salad. The fruit cake was moist and a generous portion. Scrummy hot chocolate....

We stopped by this afternoon on a breezy sunny day, didn’t have to wait very long to be shown a table and service was prompt and polite. We had lovely knockout views and friendly staff, food was excellent and well priced. We will be back...

Had a coffee and a delicious traditional Cornish ice cream with a mountain of fresh clotted cream on it. We shared a vanilla ginger and chocolate ice cream in one of the shady seating areas in what was like a mini boat shed, very cute...

Never fails to impress....service, food, views, perfect place. Highly recommend fish and chips and ploughman's lunch

If you are looking for somewhere to have amazing food, served by the friendliest people whilst looking out onto a scenery which is just breathtaking, then Polpeor cafe is the place for you. Lucy, the manager is, in my opinion the best at her job....

We had a lovely outside seat. Indoor seating closed for some reason. A Cornish Cream tea each was lovely and service very prompt. Binoculars provided to watch nearby seals in sea. The most Southerly cafe in UK certainly worth a visit when at Lizard.

A lovely cafe in Britain's most southerly location. We (3) shared the cream tea £8 a head as you can see from the picture well worth it. I did however get told off by the lady in the cafe for making my scone in the...

Fabulous lunch outdoors on cliffs at Lizard Point. Whitebait, crab cake and fancy meringue dessert. Plus a great view. We are not walkers, but if you are, use this as stop or jumping off spot.

We fancied a crab sandwich and decided to share one £15. The young lady who served us was so lovely and asked if we wanted salad with it, she brought us two plates with salad on each and the sandwiches were delicious, lovely soft white...

Third visit to this cafe and unfortunatley i feel that this last visit was not as good as previous ones. Fantasic location and views. Friendly staff and clean tables. There was 4 of us and we had sandwhiches and cream teas. Cream teas were good,...

Popped in for a cornish cream tea on a beautiful April afternoon. Very attentive staff, good food at reasonable prices, and a view to die for.

Amazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great waitress is always so friendly and kind. The food can’t get better. Always a great spot with a lovely water view to get great food.

I have rated this café as excellent for all of the reasons given in your other 5-star reviews: the location, the food, and the friendly and helpful staff. I have a further reason to give this five stars: after our lovely lunches of crab salad...

Had lunch here over the Easter weekend, was a brilliant experience. Not only is there the novelty of being at Britain’s most southerly cafe but the food is really great too. I had vegetarian lasagne which was lovely and the whole menu is reasonably priced....

Delicious food as always, big portions, great menu with a good choice. We come here for lunch every time we visit the Lizard. Very dog friendly & staff lovely. Highly recommended

Apparently the most southerly cafe on mainland Britain. It was a real treat to sit outside form lunch watching the seals in the bay. Staff very friendly and food was excellant. Would certainly make a point of going again. Our party of 10 age range...

After a five mile walk we ended up at the Polpeor Cafe. Fantastic views, fantastic food and great, friendly and helpful staff. They even made a fuss of our very bouncy dog. Thanks.

Absolutely stunning views, service and food. We are locals and have already reviewed this cafe a couple of years ago but after our food and service today I'm writing you another 10/10 review!!! The burger my husband had and the cheese and tomato toastie I...

Popped in just over a week ago on our coastpath walk. Such a lovely friendly welcome & excellent coffee🤩 Thank you. Enjoyed it there so much we were back today having walked from Ruan Minor & along the coast path. Another warm welcome & Coffee...

Cosy cafe in a stunning location with amazing views.Friendly but efficient service, Wide choice of simple food at reasonable prices. Outside tables draughty but fine for dog owners .

We emoted our coffee overlooking the sea, we were going to try a cake as well but weren't tempted. We decided what we wanted before we sat down and explained this when we were seated but were still left for quite some time before being...

Totally unexpected to find such a great cafe at the end of The Lizard! Almost on the edge of a cliff with superb views across the horizon, this little restaurant has indoor and outdoor spaces, dog friendly, a huge menu and great staff. Had the...

Lovely to be back. Possible to eat in or takeaway. Very windy, so we ate in! Tasty jacket potato, friendly helpful staff. Found nearby geocache too!

We turned up for lunch at this small restaurant a group of 13, the staff could not have been friendlier and reorganised the inside dining room in order to cater for us all together, food was greatly, reasonably priced and served promptly. The views are...

Whilst visiting the area we walked down to the southern most point at The Lizard and nipped in here for a cuppa. We couldn’t resist trying a cream tea and we were not disappointed. The scones were warm and delicious and lashing of cream and...

Polpeor Cafe is the best cafe I have ever been It is perched on the cliffs in the lizard over looking the sea. The staff are great helpful and friendly can't ask for anything else We ordered a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and...

Walking the coastal path we decided to stop at this cafe,.Approaching it,there is a narrow walkway to the cafe between buildings,with a clear sign asking patrons to wait at that point to be seated.So we waited.......waited....waited....we could see there were hardly any other customers seated,no...

Great views, friendly service, but when I ordered the crab sandwich at £15, I was expecting something slightly more special than a couple of slices of brown bread along with a mediocre portion of crab, and a bit of salad. Don't get me wrong, I...

A stunning location when sat outside looking out to sea. Very friendly service. Had a really tasty 'Ham + Cheese Omelette' when there and would definitely recommend a visit.

This place was so good we visited twice in one day. Once when we got to Lizard Point and then when we had walked to the Marconi station and back round the coastal path. Service was bright and efficient but beware - the Cornish cream...

Despite a very busy restaurant the service was great and we finally got to eat a local lobster with an abundant salad and separate but generous serve of chips. Highly recommended!

Lovely cafe with amazing views of Lizard Point and we saw several seals bobbing about. Staff were lovely and the food was very tasty with lots of choices. Prices on par for a tourist area.

Came here for breakfast a few times - always lovely food and always managed to get one of the tables overlooking the sea (I think it gets much busier later in the day) - and friendly little sparrows who will land on your table to...

Lovely food Lovely service Lovely views Good menu choice - including vegetarian Pasty was amazing Jacket potato’s were great

Ticked all the cafe boxes. A Burger and fish pie with magnificent views. Polite and prompt service, reasonably priced for the area.

We went to Polpeor cafe for breakfast during our 2 week summer holiday. The food was amazing, the view was amazing and the service was amazing. The manager Lucy served us and she couldn’t do anymore for us. She was attentive and provided the most...

Spectacular views. Despite how busy it was they seated us quickly and made sure the table was spotless before we sat down. Staff were all really friendly and work really hard to make sure you are served as quickly as possible. Just had sandwiches but...

Great location, friendly service and good value. Food was great, well worth the amount paid, staff are all young, friendly and happy to please, I hope they are all rewarded for their efforts. Enjoyed the visit so much we found an excuse to go back.

Friendly staff offer a great choice of delicacies for lunch or afternoon tea. From the terrace you have a great view of the coast all around you. On both visits I saw seals popping in. The coastal path tot the right and the left bring...

Great breakfast, really well priced, good quality and the most beautiful views. Dog friendly and staff are very helpful

We decided to have a bite to eat at the cafe on what is the start of the peak season for visitors to Cornwall, well we were not disappointed. Not only is the cafe surrounded with spectacular views of our amazing coast, but the staff...

I have visited this lovely cafe before and reviewed it but feel it needs a review for every visit as it is a wonderful cafe. The staff are so lovely and welcoming - thank you Rosie who looked after us on this visit for your...

Been coming to this cafe for over 20 years and it never disappoints. Friendly service and now one of the staff sharing her binoculars to help us view the local seals. I enjoyed the mackerel salad and my wife the plate of sea bass.

We hadn’t visited The Lizard before what a find. The car park is a NT one. We did a tour of the lighthouse first that was very interesting.. Took about 30 mins and there is a museum to look around. We then walked down to...

Lovely breakfast absolutely amazing staff with great views of the coastline will definitely recommend this place and will definitely come again

Stunning view and even the seals made an appearance. Had the fish platter and crab sandwiches for lunch, both excellent. Service from the staff as always was brilliant and smiley.

It is a tradition for us to have a full English breakfast from here during our stay on the lizard every year, the views over the rocks are unique for a restaurant and there is usually an opportunity to spot some seals. The staff are...

We called in here as I’d heard that the cream tea was one of the best and you can’t come to Cornwall and not have a cream tea can you. We ordered a crab sandwich as well and shared both between us. The food was...

Just love this cafe for breakfast. They do a fantastic breakfast and the ladies who serve you are lovely. Plus the view from your table is brilliant. Plus my better half just loves the apple and blackberry pie she says it makes a great breakfast...

This is a gem in the Lizard, food is perfection and the staff are all amazing, especially Lucy, as although it is extremely busy, the service is very spot on!! Will definitely 💯 be back!!

We stop here after visiting the most southerly part of England and the Lighthouse. We all ordered something with seafood and were very satisfied with it. This was quite busy day but the staff always with a friendly smile and kind to help. We toke...

We have been visiting Polpeor Café for more than 10 years because it has been consistently good. The menu stays much the same - there is no need for it to change. The location is great - many of the tables have views along the...

Fantastic views, fantastic food, and fantastic friendly service! This place is definitely worth a visit 😊

These guys in this cafe could not of been more helpful , we where visiting cornwall and had just arrived at the lizard when we had a first aid emergency one of the children in our party had fallen and cut her knee badly so...

Lovely little cafe "most southerly" in uk. Overlooks the peninsula rocks and headland, ideally placed to watch passing birds, boats and maybe seals and dolphins. They have a great choice on their menu offering the customery cornish cream teas, and I have to say the...

Excellent location, friendly efficient staff, my lasagne was as good as ever but my husband's fish dish was overpriced for the amount of fish he had. He was disappointed because they had run out of crab and that is his favourite.

We visited Polpeor Cafe on Friday 13 May. We were immediately impressed with the welcome we received from Lucy, who dealt with the people waiting to be seated efficiently and politely. Once seated in the outside seating area, enjoying the beautiful weather and spectacular views,...

Highly recommend that you grab an outside table and enjoy the vibe. The entire staff is great, but Lucy made our day!

Awesome views, amazing staff who went out of their way to help and chat. The setting is perfect, the food delicious and fresh and Luna the dog even got her own butcher’s sausage.

I'll keep it simple. Nice staff, very fast and good service, food preparation quick too. Steak pasties lovely, coffee great, prices reasonable, and views great. 5*

Brilliant service, friendly staff and great food. Manager Lucy was great and made the visit very welcoming and will definitely call in again on any future trips to Cornwall. Two full English breakfasts, tea and coffee all were spot on. Excellent location for walking the...
