Is there anything finer?
Sheffielders are mad for the things. Go to any event run by the council, from car shows to a mock-Highland Games, and there will be several hot roast pork sandwich stalls. Go to the greyhounds, and there will be mascara-clad women with their acrylic nails wrapped around a hot roast pork sandwich.
When I moved to the city from Leeds a few years ago I thought it was some quaint local tradition, but then I was introduced to the delights of Beres Pork Shop. I can truly say that there isn't a sandwich experience on Earth like pork, stuffing, apple sauce and dripping from one of their many outlets dotted around the city. I think Beres is up there with Henderson's Relish, Pulp and Richard Hawley as synonymous with the city:

I'm off with flu today and plan to have a couple for my lunch.
How do you know its pork? #justsaying
If it looks like pork and tastes like pork then it hardly matters ;)Originally Posted by DiscoDave
Looks good to me, I'm over in Hillsborough now and again I may have to drop in
If you check out the crackling on the video you can be sure it's 100 porcine flesh!
Oh for goodness sake man, it's not difficult!
Dog:
Pig (your delicious roll is made of this one):
So clever my foot fell off.
I'm always a sucker for one when I'm up in Yorkshire, good god they're nice!
Yes, they're available in Wigan but they're generally crap.
Since I live off the beaten track I had to google that. Seems good enough to try! What's the best recipe to use (yes, I found plenty on-line, but since I trust your expertise ... )?
PS
I have no pig, goat, dog etc
I used to live in Sheffield and i miss the hot pork sandwich obsession greatly. I live in Stoke now and im now surrounded by people who eat oatcakes at every opportunity. Vile things.

I always used to have a slappie (not slapper) when I went to Wigan. Meat and potatoe pie with brown source on a barm cake -lovely!
That it is, just had one today!
When I used to travel up to to near Wigan, there was a joke about a Wigan kebab - pie, pastie and sausage roll on a stick. Seems this has now become almost fact.
Sean's at Banner Cross (Sheffield). Best hot roast pork sarnie on the planet.
Better than Beres?
Check the crackling for tattoos!
Or maybe, check the crackling for Sheffield United tattoos... Not all pigs make pork. :o)
Do they soak the inside of the bread with gravy? This is making me salivate!
I saw this thread this morning and have been yearning for a hot pork roll ever since...
Bloody starving here!
Yes - if you so desire!
Sounds absolutely delicious, and something i'd happily tuck into.
It's not something we get up here north of the border.
At least i've not heard of it anyway.
Enthusiasm for things porcine is undoubtedly a North Sheffield thing.
Before we moved to Newcastle, I'd never set foot in a Pork Shop or "Charcuterie" as the culturally sensitive Geordies now term them.
Beres & Kings on Dixon Lane, outstanding pork sandwiches .
Ah Mr Beres' pork sarnies. I remember one day mentioning at a factory site i was working at in Sheffield that I was heading out to get one for lunch, ended up with an order for 37 sandwiches....
Bet they don't come with hairy scratchings though?
They would go down well with some Rochdale black peas!

You might have me there - perhaps Beres shave their pork joints before roasting?!
+1 for Sean's , must have stuffing, crackling and dipped .
Mmm. I've heard this 'better than Beres' thing before! First it was the butchers at the top of School Road in Crookes, then somewhere I can't remember in Hillsborough.
Apologies if none of this makes sense to the rest of the UK...
A lot of things that go on in Sheffield would not make sense to the rest of the UK!!
All this talk of hot roast pork sandwiches reminds me of the sandwich of choice for me and my powerlifting mates walking out of temple gym, just off new street in Birmingham, after our saturday morning leg session. We used to get extra meat and apple sauce on a foot long baguette, smeared with stuffing and gravy. The roast pork sandwiches sold down here on the South coast are pale imitations.
