Bun Penny pub Review

Good beer choice .old style pub atmosphere. Good food

Car park 95% full. Bars were 75% full and a 45min waiting for food. Food good on previous visits.

Good system going in and ordering. Food was lovely.

Good beer and ale! If you like tribute! Warm and cosy pub!

Great Traditional Pub with separate restaurant area for families / diners.

They wouldn't seat us, even though there were plenty of free tables, on account of being too busy and the last call being called in half an hour.

Real pub. Has food also but keeps bar atmosphere. Also has restaurant part.

A lovely bar and restaurant. We just had the quick sandwich menu but the steak sanwich was gorgeous done exactly to call. A lovely open airy restaurant. Kids were well looked after from the kids menu.

Attractive period pub with quarry floors and stripped pine furniture in an urban setting. Attentive staff and good food

3 long hairs in mixed grill. Capiccino took 2 trips to the counter to ask where the drink was. Arrived 50 minutes later. Waitress was rude about the hairs in the food. One hair OK it happens but 3 longer than shoulder length is disgusting. That's the end of going there. Inn by the sea instead then.

This place has gone down hill in recent months and is a real disappointment. The usually friendly staff seem very unhelpful and like your inconveniencing them. The food is good but length of time to get served is shocking.

Average pub. Expensive average tasting ploughmans. Partner took hers back and was graciously given refund.

Food was fine although staff made us feel like we were in the way and that they'd rather we weren't there and rushed us. Was a shame as we've been there a few times for family birthdays. Don't think we'll go back again.

Food was good, some staff let the restaurant down by pratting about by till area with more noise than was needed.
Imitation of playing the drums around the till whilst trying to eat is not good especially as there was no tune to listen too either way.

Nice old fashioned pub ,but food a bit expensive beef blade was nice but scampi was all "batter" and little fish. Disappointing

Food was very good a good menu prices very reasonable nice and clean.

Had a wonderful dinner followed by pudding with some of my favorite people tonight: nice busy pub would.highly recommend

Great food, great service. Will be coming back again!

I really enjoyed the Bear Batter Cod fish and chips. Nice ambience, service was slow, hence 4 stares.

Need to book cannot just walk in but food well worth it. We both loved it and will return soon.

Good food although long wait to be served. Round table excellent as we were a deaf group & see each other well.

Lovely food, relatively quick service as it was busy, clean plates all round!

Easy to order using their app. Staff were very polite and helpful. All the government guidelines were adhered too. The meal was lovely.
No negatives at all. Look forward to going again.

Because they are part of the community, and you can have good banter with the ladies. I Adore them all dearly.

Visited last night and very disappointed with my chips - quite clear that they had already been cooked some time previously and simply heated up and served - cold, soft & soggy ! Having raised this with one of the staff, I was then provided with another bowl of chips which were actually warmer but had obviously just had a quick dip back in the fryer. My main disappointment is that the pub thinks it can get away with serving such poor quality food - this is now the second time in recent weeks where food has been returned and am in no rush to go back. We had friends on another table and was good to see that at least someone in the kitchen had taken the feedback on board as they were subsequently provided with far chunkier and freshly cooked chips.... !

Food was lovely, but the service was appalling, hope that's not the norm, seems like we were forgotten!!

Serving Staff are lovely, and the food was perfect. Compliments to the chef, the fillet steak was awsome.

Appalled by service (or lack of) I asked repeatedly to order food. We were told more than once to sit down and someone would come to us. After waiting for nearly 2 hours we decided to leave. I spoke to the waitress in charge and told her why we were leaving but she didn't care and made it clear she never had any intention of serving us. She was very rude and even blatantly lied about us trying to order. Very bizarre! We went to the Lee on solent squash club instead which was fantastic!

Ate there today, not very impressed. Felt dreadful since lunch time. Certainly will not be going again.

Lovely venue. Good variety main menu. Lots of parking. Nice area. However when the lunch menu stops at 2.30pm it's just a snack menu of sandwiches untill the main menu at 5/5.30.

It could be 5 star, but the staff let it down. I feel they constantly need nudging by senior staff to serve. I've witnessed arguements with staff, lack of presence for table service. I drink there, but don't tend to eat there anymore. Daytime custom seems not existent, I've been in to do cake and coffee on a few occasions, no cakes, fire not lit. It could be so much more

Disorganised overcomplicated with ordering system of food and drinks

Lovely staff, with nice tasting food. It was very busy Saturday lunch time which demonstrates how popular it is. Although busy the service did not suffer.

Reduced to 2 star. 4 of us came to eat here. The room was draughty and cold for my elderly mother and uncle. 1 out of 2 fish and chips was cooked badly and had to be returned. This meant one person dining alone. They were not interested in providing some sort of discount for the spoilt experience. The food was good overall but the experience was poor. I understand that it has not changed hands which surprised me as the staff used to be very nice and friendly. Disappointed overall.

They wouldn't seat us, even though there were plenty of free tables, on account of being too busy and the last call being called in half an hour.

We go regularly usually on a Wednesday Lunchtime, the food is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful it has much improved from years ago.

Had a lovely pub brunch. Even brought a couple of sausages for the puppies we had in towe..

Bun penny is a local go to place for our team get togethers too.

Very nice food and welcoming atmosphere while maintaing an upmarket feel.

Bun Penny is our local pub and they served great food. It has a lovely and welcoming atmosphere. Dogs friendly.

Arrived and found the carpark busy so thought this is a good sign as never been here before. Arranged with family to meet up for my 60th birthday and wasn't disappointed, food was first class and the hospitality was brilliant, so was the atmosphere, highly recommend

Excellent food, real ale and wine. Wide ranging menu including vegan, gluten free. Any swaps or requests were made easily. Very welcoming staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We were a party of 8 and severa; arrived late. The staff came over while we were waiting to warn us that if we wanted to order anything from the specials menu, we had to do so soon as the chefs would be finishing soon. Would recommend and will be visiitng again.

Bar maid miserable as sin because I asked her to take the ice out of my drink, surely she should have asked if I had wanted some in the first place, along with the fact she served me a pint of orange juice again assuming! Not good. Very disappointed

Many different areas to sit in, we plumped for outside as we had smokers and dogs. Interior design is nice, and seems a very pleasant pub overall. We didn't eat so I cannot say anything on that front.

Lovely meals and great service. Staff always friendly.

A little on the pricey side but nice food & friendly staff

Have always been happy with the food and surroundings. Staff are awesome. Always a lovely atmosphere.

Typical countrified English pub with a nice garden . Good food and a free house. Nice atmosphere.

Lovely pub in Lee. Love music on the evenings. Little pricey but good atmosphere, nice seats. In the winter they have a lot fire going which is lovely. Good outside garden as well.

Great food, good value and a pleasant atmosphere. Staff were attentive and helpful. Would heartily recommend!

Great pub with excellent food. Fresh and home made. Good choice of beer. Super friendly with dogs. Highly recommended of you are in the area

The food was really nice, hot and quick service, reasonably priced, however they gave us dirty plates for our starters, when we flagged this matter with the serving staff he said "yeah i saw that" perhaps if you saw it you should have changed them for clean ones to begin with? However he soon changed them for us
