Delicious fish and chips. Staff are also very friendly. I liked the look of one of their plants in the window and the kind lady gave me a cutting to take home!

I had a good value breakfast here (£7 for two fried eggs, two hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms, a piece of toast, a vegetarian sausage, and a cup of coffee). The downside was the vegetarian sausage was more like a spring roll, so perhaps vegetable sausage would be more accurate (although it was vegetarian). Service was quick and the staff were polite.

Lovely seaside restaurant, serving really affordable classic English sandwiches, jackets, toasties and a full English. Generous with the fillings, plain and simple just what you want sometimes. (Ate most of the fish sarnie before I thought to picture!)

Fantastic staff they are a credit to the business. We visited as a table of three on Saturday early evening.James was incredibly professional he’s a credit to the business the two girls were also fantastic. We ordered two mixed grills and a veg burger. The first full mixed grill got sent back as it was awful the quality and quantity shockingly poor! and also didn’t have any onion rings! but what came out second time around should have been what came out the first time as it was absolutely delicious. Some friendly advice tho my gammon was smothered in pepper which didn’t really bother me as I love pepper but I’d imagine most would not appreciate it! The waitress that knocked up the Banoffee should be in the kitchen, it was absolutely spot on ❤️ Would we return 100 percent we would it ended up being a really nice experience so thank you.

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.

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.

My first visit here for a birthday celebration. Super location, had a lovely intimate quiet table for our group. A wonderful choice of menu's including a specials menu too. Wonderful table service, the staff very helpful, friendly and attentive but discreet. Superb food which was wholesome and very tasty. I'd recommend visiting and eating here. Thank you 😁👍

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!

Such a wonderful place on the beach. Dog friendly. Lovely interior and beautiful design. I just wanted to have a hot chocolate on my walk. I went in and I was seated, but long minutes passed by and I had to chase an employee to give me the list of the drinks. I mean, come on! I told when I arrived that I would like to have a drink, why the lady couldn't give me the menu withouth chasing her up, when the place wasn't busy at all and there was enough staff on duty. I wasn't impressed how bored and not customer focused the ladies were there. I wasn't that welcomed and I felt like I could just stand up and leave, noone would notice. I wrote this review to give a honest feedback and a chance to improve. The employees should be way much more proactive and welcoming. I liked sitting inside, loved the place, but not the service. There is a kids corner too with books.

Just back from the most incredible meal on Lee seafront. Roast beef and amazing roast potatoes along with more veggies than you can shake a stick at followed by the most delicious white chocolate and pistachio cheesecake with pistachio ice cream I've ever tasted. If you’re from around the Lee on Solent area I really can’t recommend the Sunday lunches at On The Water highly enough.

We’ve had lots of family celebrations at Casa Brasil from my dad’s 80th to our son’s 16th more recently. It’s one of the few places our family of 19 can be seated comfortably, including a high chair and space for a pram. The food is great, lots of lovely fresh salads and delicious meat selections as well as hot tapas and mini desserts. The bar choice is also really good with cocktails and mocktails on top of the usual. For our son’s birthday recently, the atmosphere was great from the start and they were really happy for me to bring a birthday cake. All the staff banged drums, played tambourines and we all sang happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who made it a great day! 🍹

I absolutely love this place! The price is fairly reasonable for all you can eat meats. They have dozens of meats to choose from and the staff are incredibly friendly. There is a wide range of sides and desserts for you to choose from and the quality is amazing. The meats are grilled there and then and make sure you go on an empty stomach as you'll be eating like a king/queen.

Can I just say: whoever came up with the brilliant idea is a genius?! I love everything about this place! Great vibe and atmosphere from the time you enter. They also have a patio area you can sit at. The staff are attentative and come multiple times to check if you need anything. I love the whole concept of the meats being brought to. And wow what a selection of tasty meat they have. Eat as much as you want. They also have hearty sides which could be meals on their own eg: lasagna, pork and beans etc. Also unlimited and unlimited desserts. We went on a Sunday so it was £10 more than a weekday but it was still so worth the money. The service, atmosphere and food are something not to miss. Such a great place to go to get a break away from the norm. They also let you eat free on your birthday!

I really loved this restaurant! Had some amazing food here (the pineapple and peri peri chicken were amazing)! The meet In the buffet being cut in front of the table really added to the atmosphere. In addition the staff here were very friendly and provide amazing customer service, asking what we enjoyed and making sure we had at least another serving of it Definitely worth coming for a date night !

We've been here a few times now when visiting The Wife's family. It's a lovely little place that we've often popped to for a coffee or ice-cream but the salad was really nice. It can get busy in there and it doesn't have a toilet but it's well worth the visit.

A truly excellent venue without door and indoor seating. The indoor restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere with linen tablecloths, napkins and fresh flowers on the tables. It is however very reasonably priced. The food is excellent, with it seems, a Sicilian twist. The service at lunchtime was very prompt and the dessert menu was innovative as well as delicious.

If you want a tranisitional Italian meal at a traditional Italian place, definitely book a table here!! The food was just divine! I had the Penne al Pomodoro and it was the best I'd ever tasted!! This pasta dish was made in a delicious tomarto sauce with garlic, white onion, red pepper and I could taste a hint of thime (I could be wrong). Anyway, this pasta was lovely! I had a glass of Barbera which went really well with the dinner ❤️ I then had the Panna Cotta! Strawberry! Omg!! It was exquisit!! 😍 So good!! Anyway, do book this lovely place. The staff are friendly and polite and quite attentive.

The Tipsy Turtle is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of delicious dishes, all bursting with flavor. I especially loved the tapas options —they were fresh and cooked to perfection. The drinks are equally impressive, with creative cocktails that are both refreshing and fun. Overall, I highly recommend The Tipsy Turtle for a great night out with friends or a cozy dinner. Five stars all the way!
