Steel city’s favourite sandwich comes to Crystal Peaks centre
AN AUTHENTIC taste of Sheffield is coming to the Crystal Peaks shopping centre with the opening of a new branch of Beres Pork Shop.
The famed Beres hot pork sandwich has been a Sheffield favourite for the past 50 years and will now be available for the first time at the award-winning shopping centre.
The business was launched in 1961 by Hungarian butcher Sandor Beres, who left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising and, after rebuilding his life in Sheffield, decided to also re-establish his business.
Mr Beres and his wife Eileen were eventually joined in the business by son Richard and then by daughters Helen and Catherine.
The company has expanded with shops across north Sheffield and a factory on Rawson Spring Road, where the family bakes its own bread.
Alongside its celebrated hot pork sandwiches, Beres also specialises in savouries, bread and cakes, cooked meats and home and party catering.
The company’s launch at Crystal Peaks in Sheffield will be the 12th Beres store.
Centre manager Lee Greenwood said: “We are delighted to welcome Beres to Crystal Peaks.
“We are confident that our customers will all appreciate this addition to our range of fresh food outlets and we are always very pleased to be working alongside brands with such strong links to the Sheffield community.”
Crystal Peaks has a range of stores including M&S, Clarks, Next, Boots and WH Smith.
