Contrary to my last post, I revisited this place after nipping into a nearby seafront bordelo and had a great time. Although it was 9.30pm on a Friday evening, the management didn't seem to mind me sitting on my own at the bar, sipping a glass of sherry and eating olives from a jar I had brought with me.
A big man with tattoos came up to me and exclaimed: "What a gay day!"
I left.

Walked into this pub and felt like John Wayne in one of those old Westerns. Everyone in the pub - and I mean EVERYONE - just stopped doing whatever they were doing (drinking, talking, breathing probably) and turned to look at me in mute silence.
I waved nervously and left quickly.

why is it that Shep Neame pubs are about the worst places to get a pint of thier beer as the last review states, when you can get one of thiers it's quite often sub standard and better when served in a free house, unlike the St Austel pubs in the west country were i dont think I've ever been disappointed with the quality that it's served, only that you can't always get HSD, although Bishops Finger when served properly is in my opinion it's equal

Damn! I wish I read about this place BEFORE going, I would have had the stew!!!!
Stopped in on Sunday afternoon. The outdoor seating area is pleasant on a sunny afternoon (which it was, despite forecasts of apocalyptic storms) and the interior clean and well refurbished. I was shocked to find they only had 1 Shepherd Neame beer on though (Spitfire), considering it's a Shepherd Neame pub and the next pub along the promenade (The Old Ship) had two, and they're a freehouse. The Bun Penny didn't even have any in bottles to offer. Saying that, The Old Ship's "Beer Garden" was effectively picnic tables in the parking lot, so the Bun wins out in a summer head-to-head.
