The Bun Penny

Pub, Lee-on-the-Solent

A well-established pub named after the Victorian penny coins showing Queen Victoria in a hair bun. The Bun Penny serves cask ales alongside a standard pub food menu covering burgers, pies, and Sunday roasts. There is a beer garden at the rear, quiz nights during the week, and occasional live music at weekends. The pub draws a broad mix of regulars and visitors, and functions as one of the town's main social gathering points. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. The interior is comfortable without trying too hard, and the staff are familiar faces to most of Lee's residents. A solid local pub rather than a gastropub, and none the worse for it.
