Had such a lovely breakfast here, prices are fair and the place itself is very welcoming. Love it! Definitely coming back.

Quite nice - lack of alternative options has pos led to a bit of a lack of effort. Baileys coffee didn't taste much of Baileys. Carrot cake was a bit soggy. It's ok, but it's the only option and not great value.

Be prepared to wait. True, it’s a warm day in the summer season, but really need a more efficient way of taking orders, everyone queueing up at one counter to try and order. Eventually someone came out to take just drink and ice-cream orders, but by then for two cold drinks I’d queued for close on twenty minutes.

They know how to make a bacon sandwich. Not just a couple of sliced white and s single rasher..... Oh no, proper wedge of bread, and good full fill of bacon. And all the other breakfasts on our table (10 people) were also up to the same par. Excellent.

Five stars for location, atmosphere and service, but only two for food, I’m afraid 😕 Halloumi fries were greasy, waaay to much cranberry sauce in a cold toasty and average English breakfast. On a good side - salad was super fresh and tasty. It was very busy when we visited which I guess could affect the quality of food, but it did not affect quality of the service. The staff was helpful and kept smiling.

Sitting outside watching the sea with glass sides to the decked area is so relaxing. The freshly made cakes and sweets are good to have with their good coffee. Their decaf Coffee is very good. Dog Friendly outsode with an area inside on wet and wild days!

The food was decent but let down by service Saturday morning. The waiter doesn't smile or greet people. Tables sticky and full crumbs, they don't take the initiative to wipe without asking. Other young staff members chatting and giggling behind the bar and in the kitchen. Has potential and a great location on the sea front. Edit for the owners reply: Apologies this was actually Saturday 1st of April, not Sunday. Thank you

Services was quite slow - we only had tea and cake... the cake was long gone before our pot of tea was delivered. It wasn't a busy day - mid week, mid afternoon. Took about 15 minutes Very expensive for a small take away tea on another visit ! Just a teabag and water and £1.75!!

This is a cafe on the beach at Seaford/Tide mills A lovely place to enjoy a drink after a lovely dog walk across the beach towards Newhaven The teas and coffees are very good and the food coming out looks nice and tasty The staff are friendly and helpful but the service overall is very slow and let's the cafe down If they could speed up their service it would be a wonderful place to go. We have visited several times even in the winter time and it's always warm and friendly, allows dogs but even when not busy the service is rather slow.

The food, whether a full meal or just a cake is always good, with excellent portions and excellent value; there's even a great choice of drinks. The atmosphere is unique and all the better for it; it's a great place to stop for refreshments or lunch, whether you sit inside or on the decking or the beach. Our walking group's waitress yesterday was totally brilliant, other places take note, this is how it should be done.

The food was very nice. Surprised of the amount of food / quality for the price. I had the vegetarian breakfast which also come in a vegan option. I think the mushrooms and haloumi could have used some seasoning otherwise everything was good. Service seemed a little disorganised and overwhelmed even with very few customers, but everyone was nice and welcoming. Amazing location, and great atmosphere.

Very good breakfast and attentive staff. The door being left open can be a bit irritating otherwise generally good. Also the larger part of the restaurant is reserved for Sailors of the yacht club. Though I would say there are a lot more non Sailors therefore a definite need to re-apportion the space.

Monday 29th August 2022 Ordered 2 take away coffees 25 minutes later member of staff making the coffee made them in china cups and then poured them into takeaway cups, after reading the order slip again. When I eventually got them they where cold asked for a refund and was told we are busy sadly after 3 visits to the Galley and on all 3 occasions mistakes have been made with food and drink order's we will not be returning. Note for the Owner stop taking breakfast orders when you haven't got the food to cook them with.

This is a great cafe with a good selection of food and drink, but prices may be considered high by some. The best thing about fhe café is the setting, looking out over Seaford Bay. Another really good point, which I gave an extra star for, is that it is open well into the evenings and the outside seating makes for a great way to enjoy the end of the day. Very popular with walkers of all kinds, beach visitors and, on Saturday mornings, the Seaford Beach Parkrunners, at which time the café gets very busy.

Whilst not very busy, we waited over 45mins to get our food, when it arrived it was wrong, plus 3 other tables , when I questioned the mistake I was told - nothing they can do and we should order again at the till, don't fancy waiting another 45mins for a portion of chips, food was not worth the wait, I suggest 15 minute walk down to another chippy was much better off there.

If you recover from the shock of the prices which are exorbitant you can rest, secure in the knowledge that it's unlikely you will ever be served so won't have to pay anything at all. I gave up waiting after watching the five staff scurry around like headless chickens for five minutes or so. Later the owner posted in reply to my review that it's counter service. Strangely I realised this at the time so stood in the queue at the counter for five or so minutes waiting to be served which is how I was able to count the number of people scurrying to and fro to no effect. I was also able to count the number of people ahead of me in the queue waiting to be served : this number was smaller than number of staff.

Get there early before they run out of the meat and gravy pies. The vegetable quiche was nice but undercooked. Would recommend the salad as this was very fresh and tasty. Sedate service so be prepared to wait or go elsewhere if you don't have time.

This has to be one of the best locations for a cafe. They just need to get the best staff to run it...... The food is good the drinks are too but the service is a little to be desired. Maybe the staff are volunteers trying to make some money for the sailing club, or perhaps it's their 'thing' to have rules....that come across as unnecessary and confusing, but laughable all at the same time. I like this place but they really need to get a grip with franchising the place out to someone who knows what they're doing. OR train the volunteers in customer service...... This won't put me off going as I love the place!

Nice place and busy. Great selection of food and cakes. Unfortunately let down by the young girl serving who had a row with a middle aged group over what they had ordered (they wanted dairy free) and she argued they had asked for normal milk. Then our two drinks came after 20 mins. I asked for sugar. The cake followed and then a tea spoon for my drink. Then she brought out 2 forks and announced to me that I had told her I didn’t want her to bring me sugar. If that was the case why bring a teaspoon. The other customers were all in disbelief at the bad attitude. Shame the cafe is lively but one bad staff member makes all the difference

Ordered thick milkshakes, they tastes and had the consistancy of water! I'd hate to order a thin version! Flavouring was so artificial. The oreo option was a semi warm chocolate drink. The oreos arrived on a plate??? Odd! Table not wiped down! Card board wedged between the slates of the table. Cutlery was dirty, so we didn't use it. Standard tea, was undrinkable...you could stand the spoon up in it and it smelt musty. The latte was like instant coffee with melted whipped added, it wasn't great. Prime location poor quality, limited offering of healthy food. Staff friendly trying to make the best of the substandard offering. Id not go back!

Under new management, thank goodness! The lovely setting of The Galley always make it a draw for locals, dog walkers and holiday makers. For the last year it has looked like the local tip with the shabby and far from chic furniture to welcome you. The staff did their best with poor quality produce and a belligerent boss, often under manned during busy times, with nothing but criticism from the 'boss', adding to the complaints of customers being served over priced food and drinks. What a difference a week makes, the new management has given the place a makeover from paintwork to furniture. Gone are the shabby outside chairs covered in rust and falling apart. New smart tables and chairs outside give you an idea of the improvements inside. Matched clean crockery, clean tables and happy, smiling professional staff. Beautifully presented, value for money tasty meals served quickly. There is a whole new breakfast and lunch menu and the place even opens half an hour earlier at 08:30. My advice If you have been to The Galley in the last year, return and see the transformation now you wont be disappointed.

I made an order online at 10:50 it’s now 11:55 and I still haven’t received my food. They declined my order at 11:00 because it’s too late to serve… yet advertising close at 12pm. Very poor service. False advertisement and shocking customer service.
