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.

My sister and I had different steaks and maybe they were both cooked a smudge under, but that was ok, 'within parameters', if you see what I mean. They tasted very nice; they were thick and juicy. The sides were good too and I asked for something they don't usually do on the menu but they accommodated my request and did it really well too! We were both just as pleased with the more modern take on the 2 traditional desserts we chose. We had lemon meringue and tiramisu (please see photos).

The only thing was the place was a little dark (hence the darker light in the photos). Although we were sat the opposite side to the light behind a post, so it was darker anyway, the lights did seem a little dull but that's the only minor negative comment I have to make.

Overall, we very much enjoyed our meal at The Bun Penny and we'll be coming back! We did find the food a little pricier than some pubs we've been to around the same area, so probably wouldn't bring the whole family there to eat, except maybe on a special occasion, but for that tiny fraction added on the bill, it was very much worth the money. It's a little 'nicer' there than where you'd typically go for your usual pub grub. I think The Bun Penny has got their demographic right. Thumbs up from me!

Visited for lunch this week, first time in ages. So glad my friends chose this as the food was very good, we chose from salads and fish. My sea bass was lovely, would have liked more of the mixed greens. One friend had the fish cakes which she said could have been tastier but she still enjoyed them. Salads looked very fresh and filled the bowl they were served in. Service was superb and friendly . Pub was busy, always a good sign. Look forward to going again.

We really enjoyed this pub.
We were five and a dog and we booked for 6pm as we knew the kitchen closed at 7 on a Sunday.

We appreciated being seated in a booth where the dog could not cause a disturbance for others.

Beer was well kept (otter and tribute) and the food was nice too. My mother in law said the chicken pie was the best pub meal she had had for years
Good gluten free choices were available.
It was also nice to see the staff still offering desserts after the kitchen closed.
Will absolutely return next time we're down there.
