Explain sandwich shop on east side of Bury (9)

I believe the answer is:

interpret

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'explain sandwich shop' is the definition.
'interpret' can be an answer for 'explain' (interpreting is a kind of explaining). I am not certain of the 'sandwich shop' bit.

'on east side of bury' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'east side of' becomes 'pret' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bury' becomes 'inter' (to inter is to put into the ground).
'pret' put after 'inter' is 'INTERPRET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interpret that I've seen before include "Explain the meaning of, perhaps a foreign language" , "Orally translate" , "Discern the meaning of" , "Gloss needed" , "Restate from one language into another" .)
