I was introduced to the perfect sausage after settling in for an early breakfast in Midhurst.

After which I walked up North St to find the Family Butchers that specialise in making their personalised brand of gourmet artisan sausages.

They offer a wide variety, from the traditional pork sausage to their Midhurst Royal which has a bold herby taste. I personally favour their beef and horseradish which I order in bulk and freeze.

They are Quality Standard Butchers offering the finest locally sourced British meats as well as scotch eggs, a selection of pies, chesse and deli products

Whatever version of the tale is told, the Stargazy Pie story is a story about Mousehole, the ship Inn and the village community.

An odd-looking, if not slightly intimidating creation. The cold fishy stare of the pilchard heads that poke through the shortcrust lid. Their bodies, meanwhile, are tucked under the pastry; a white sauce envelopes them. Salty and formidably traditional, it’s seasoned with coarse pepper and parsley.

[Edit] Too late. They have closed. Requires a trip to Petersfield

I forget what it was that first caught my eye when I ‘discovered’ Madelaine’s Kitchen in Midhurst.

They offer a Deli Counter packed full of freshly baked produce from their Bakehouse. Fabulous big fat deli sandwiches, a huge range of the best cheeses, local charcuterie and smoked fish, dry goods, cakes, pastries and serve a damned good coffee.

But if I remember it was cold and wet and despite there being no indoor seating I had to order not one but two of their very tempting pies on offer to takeaway with me.
