The centre of Bury sits in postcode district RH20.

Food and drink on the high street

Registered premisesCount
Pubs, bars and nightclubs (25.3 per 10,000 residents)1
Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses (25.3 per 10,000 residents)1

Counts are registered food premises in the Bury (Chichester) built-up area (395 residents at the 2021 census), from the FSA food hygiene register, extracted 17 August 2026. The boundary is drawn from where the buildings are, so these figures cover the town itself rather than the wider council area, and no total is shown because the register also lists premises nobody would call a venue: school kitchens, care homes, warehouses.

Schools

Open establishmentsCount
Independent schools1

Open schools registered in the Bury (Chichester) built-up area, from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools register, extracted 24 August 2026. Each school counts once: an independent special school appears under special schools, and the phase rows are state schools. No inspection grades are shown because Ofsted stopped issuing single-word overall judgements in 2024 and the register no longer carries them; current inspection reports are on Ofsted's own site. England only: the register lists Welsh schools without phase detail.

Broadband

Availability% of homes
Gigabit-capable (1,000 Mbit/s+)100.0%
Superfast (30 Mbit/s+)100.0%

Share of the 192 residential premises in this built-up area that the fixed network can serve at each speed, from Ofcom's Connected Nations coverage data (network state July 2025). Availability is what the line to a home can deliver if ordered, not what households actually subscribe to, and a full-fibre street where everyone bought the cheapest package shows 100% here.
