Expansion

It has been some time since we last posted, but a lot has been going on.  We celebrated our Jamie's 21st birthday by getting him a cake from Cakelicious, just along the aisle.  It was excellent.  We definitely recommend Chris's cakes.

 We have decided to take the opportunity to extend our stall.  This means we will be moving into number 140 next door.

 There are two new signs to be painted as the stall is also a corner unit like 139.  We will double our display and service space.

Market management allowed us to use a vacant unit to do the signwriting work.

 Some of you may have seen the Moor Market display in the shop window.  We were happy to be a part of this important promotion.

 We took the opportunity to look for some new lines when we visited Sharrow Market.  There were a number of new ideas, details will be posted later.

Later on, we took a day off and went to Nantwich Show.  Among other things, Nantwich hosts the biggest cheese show in Europe.  This gave us the opportunity to try out potential new products.

Maintenance staff have been doing as much of the plumbing and electrical work as can be done in advance in number 140.  This left us ready for the major part of the project.

The wall dividing 139 from 140 was taken down over the Bank holiday weekend.  The electrical and plumbing works were done at the same time.  This means that we now have the chance to start getting ready.

The new display fridge was delivered on Wednesday and maintenance put the newly painted signs up on Thursday.

We opened up the double unit for the first time on Saturday (August 31st), but there is still some work to do.  Once the counter is installed across the end of 140, and the shelves put up, we will be fully ready.

Cooking for the holidays.

On Tuesday August 12th, Su will be presenting a cookery demonstration of simple baking for children.  This will include simple recipes to try out with your children during the holidays.  There will be chance to taste the results and ask questions.  The demonstration starts at 11-00a.m.

Goat Milk

In response to customer demand, we are now stocking goat milk.  Litre cartons of pasteurised goatmilk are currently in stock.  Many people who cannot tolerate cows' milk can digest goats' milk.  If the demand continues, it will become a regular feature of our range.

Moor Market Tea

Here are S & J's Pantry we thought that the new Moor Market was worthy of its' own special brew.  We spoke to the nice people at Birdhouse Teas, and after a little experimentation, a new brew was born.

The Moor Market.

Green tea, black tea, apple pieces, lemon pieces, kiwi pieces, flavouring and petals (rose, safflower, marigold and cornflower.) Blended especially for S & J's Pantry to reflect the multicultural and diverse nature of the Moor Market, Sheffield.

There will be a tasting opportunity at the demonstration area in the Moor Market on Friday 18th July from 11-00a.m. until 2-00p.m.

Cocktails

Mr Fitzpatrick's, makers of a range of cordials, have introduced several new products.  A selection of non-alcoholic cocktails are now in stock.

These are; Strawberry Daiquiri. Smooth and sumptuous velvet Strawberries are fused with the flavour of premium White Rum to bring you the taste of this authentic Cuban Cocktail without the alcohol.
