About Penkey

A small, local place doing food properly

Your Local Délicafé in Lymington

We focus on simple food, made properly, at fair prices.

You can pop in for something quick, or sit down and take your time — whatever suits you.

The name 'Penkey' comes from a mix of 'penguin' and 'monkey' — a small personal touch that reflects how we run things: friendly, relaxed, and a bit different.

This is how we keep things simple and consistent:

How we do food at Penkey

We keep things simple and do them properly.

We use good ingredients throughout — proper bacon, high-meat sausages, and fillings we prepare ourselves, including our own cooked ham and chicken terrine.

It means better flavour, better portions, and consistent quality without pushing prices up.

We use local suppliers where it makes sense, from micro herbs to chutneys, and stick with proper brands for the basics — no cutting corners.

A proper alternative to supermarket lunch — same ease, better food.
