Beautiful place with amazing food. Went on a Friday and the place was packed. I recommend pre-booking. The atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. Family and dog friendly also. The only downside of being busy is the noise. Otherwise an amazing evening.

My sister visited today. With her high food standards (a.k.a. she's fussy), I needed a pub that served nice food. She chose the Bun Penny, because we've not been there in years, and I'm really glad she did! The service was quick, the staff friendly and professional and the food was really good.
Got a bit tatty and no finesse. Strong smell of disinfectant throughout the pub which was a bit off-putting. Food was tasty but small portions and both mains swimming in oil. Friendly staff.
The Bun Penny occupies a prominent position on the road into Lee on the Solent and is only a short walk from the main street and the beach. Originally a farm house and then a coaching inn, this centuries old building has all the charm and character you would expect from a building of its age. The Bun Penny is now a classic English country pub which benefits from a large patio at the front and an extensive back garden ideal for soaking up the sun whilst in cooler months there are real fires and lots of cosy corners inside
We are particularly proud of our food which is freshly prepared and locally sourced. The menu changes to reflect seasonal availability and there is a Specials Board where we can offer rarer treats.
