pub uses ingredients sourced from local
suppliers to create a seasonal menu as
well as a few, more adventurous one
offs such as kangaroo steak, zebra and
python.
In 2013 the local farmer Charlie Hughes
took over Southview Farm, one of three
in the village, and carried on the business
which has been in his family for three
generations. Charlie developed his shed,
from which he sold eggs, and milk from
his Friesian herd, into a thriving farm
shop. In the short time it has been open
the shop has won multiple awards for the
fresh produce from the farm including
beef from their cattle and raw milk which
is not available from anywhere beyond
the farm gates.
My favourite place in Bury is the wharf
of the river Arun. As a child I spent
many days building dens in the fields
and fishing in the streams, the more
adventurous of my friends built a canoe
and would swim in the river. The river has
the second fastest current in the country
so I never dared go in. I often walk along
the tow path to Amberley or Arundel.
As a teenager, with no other mode of
transport out of the village this was the
best way to get to the railway station,
now it provides for a relaxing stroll to
the pub.
