After an early morning breakfast at the Swan Inn and my introduction to what was claimed to be the perfect sausage, I went in search of these highly recommended artisan butchers.
They have a shop in the main street. Not difficult to find.
And I have been slowly trying out the various different varieties of sausages they offer. Some require a special order and others like the venison are only available as and when. But they are good enough to keep me going back over and over.
Their Midhurst Royal is a strongly flavoured, herby sausage which is particularly good. They also do a beef sausage with horseradish which I want to try again.
Michael Courtney Butchers are family butchers offering a wide variety of free range Beef, Pork, Lamb and Poultry all sourced within a 20 mile radius. During winter there is a selection of local game including Venison, Pheasant, Mallard and Partridge from the surrounding game shoots.
Their Deli counter holds an assortment of cooked meats including their own home cooked ham (roasted over night for maximum flavour) and a wide selection of cheeses, some local, as well as the traditional favourites you’d expect to find on any good cheese board.
There are home made pies, sausage rolls, quiches, scotch eggs and pork pies.
Alongside the meats and cheeses, they stock a variety of award winning products such as Chutneys, Jams, Sussex Honey, Stuffing Mixes and Gravy.
