Developments on S & J's.

 Jon has a liking for lasagne at lunch time.  Here are two of the versions available at the Moor Market.  The one above is from "Bitz & Bitez", whilst the version below is from "Carters Kitchen".  Quality like this at bargain prices is a regular feature of life in the Market.

 Su has been busy trimming up the stall for Christmas, with decorations in as many places as possible.

 On the shelves, and over the entrances.  More to follow.

 This picture was used for our Christmas card, available to all customers up until Christmas (Whilst stocks last)

 Father Grant from St. Matthew's church on Carver Street has built a crib in the market, and there will be a carol service on the 17th December.

A new range of blue cheeses is available for Christmas; Lancashire blue, Gabriel blue (made with ewes' milk) and Shipston blue (made with buffalo milk).  Also available, but not pictured, is Brock Blue, made with goats' milk. 

New stall is open.

 All is finished and Jamie is open for business.  Sorry we are so late with this post, but the summer has been a very busy time for us.

Winter is a time for hot drinks, and the selection of hot milk drinks will please most palates.

Latest developments.

Our son, Jamie has taken the stall opposite ours and is going to open a milk and soda bar.  Obviously there is a great deal to be done.

 There is wood and stock to be bought and sorted.  Shelves and counters need to be built.

 A stencil has to be made for the signs, and the design transferred to the boards.

 The boards have to be lettered and varnished.

 The counters are coming along nicely.

 And the signs have gone up.

The counters have yet to panelled and the equipment installed.  We hope to open before the bank holiday.

More up to date information is available at his facebook page.

More new products.

 From "Delicious Alchemy" we now have three gluten free cake mixes.  Also dairy free, we have tasted the finished products and they are really delicious.

An old classic is Gentleman's Relish.  Use sparingly for best results.  Absolutely delicious on toast, or a savoury addition to may recipes.

Visiting the NEC.

We went to a trade fair at the NEC.  (Actually it was three fairs in one hall!) We walked for miles (and miles) and found lots of interesting new products.  The first to appear on the stall is paté made by Ballancourt.  At present we stock seven varieties.  Perfect for a special meal.

Susannah found a new friend

The relevance of this may be revealed later.

Sorry we ran out!

Sorry, we ran out, but as you can see, we have taken steps to ensure enough supplies for everyone.

Cheese with Hendo's relish.

What more could a true Sheffielder ask for?  Derby cheese blended with the famous Sheffield relish.  Very nice, and very successful.  Sorry, we sold out in two days, but we now have lots more in stock.

See what the Sheffield Star had to say.

Happy Valentine's Day.

We are celebrating Valentine's day in the Moor Market.  Heart shaped cheese comes in two varieties; mature, organic cheddar from Godminster; and Brie from Normandy.  Stocks are limited, so hurry!

Recent events

 We took part in the Moor Market Roadshow on Fargate in early February.  Su. enlisted Andrew to help, and Roman from the market department was also on hand.

 The Chinese New Year dragon dance entered the market on Saturday February 7th.

Merry Cheesemas and a Hap-pie New Year

Christmas update

Sorry for the delay, but we have been busy since the last posting in August.  Together with the work we do for our church, where we are pastors, and a problem with the computer and printer, there is a lot to bring you up to date with.

 The demolition of the old market proceeds and there is now very little to show what was there,

 although the  rather forlorn "Castle Market" sign still showed over the lover level entrance when the picture was taken.

 We had been getting rather low on the Birdhouse teas range, so we took the opportunity to re-stock, and added a few new lines to the range, including the Christmas "Noel" products.

 The Moor Market celebrated its second anniversary the Su. took the opportunity to create some publicity.

 The Christmas decorations had to be knitted using Yarn bought in the market (details later) and hung, along with the lights.

 Mr Fitzpatricks brought a new line for Christmas, Plum and Pear with spices.

 We had to make a display for the Christmas card photo.  This was then printed and given to hundreds of customers together with discount vouchers for the coming year.

 The market management organised an event to commemorate the anniversary of the blitz.  This was run in the evening and did not affect normal trading.  I'm not sure what my father would have made of such a sanitised event.  He was a policeman on duty in Brightside at the time of the blitz.  Our offer to come and break the windows and cover everything with cement and brick dust was politely declined!

 St. Mathew's parish church on Carver Street used one of the vacant stalls to create a Christmas crib

 and to provide a prayer wall where people could leave requests for prayer.  The vicar, Father Grant Naylor, led carol services on both Saturdays before Christmas.
