Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2016 -- Analysts have recently reported that there has been a huge 18% increase in the price of pork as wholesale manufacturers and retailers face commodity price swings and a weaker sterling following the Brexit vote. The price of pork is now at a two year high, and it is anticipated that there's going to be a knock-on effect on the price of sausages, bacon and other pork products found in supermarkets and shops over the next few weeks. There is always a delay when it comes to an increase in price for consumers, but there is absolutely no doubt that this consumer price increase is going to happen, and is going to happen incredibly soon.

In line with this many people are anticipating that the cost of hog roasting services are going to see an increase also, however one hog roast company in Lancashire, The Pendle Pig, has managed to keep their costs down for the time being and plan to keep these down for as long as possible. A spokesperson from that company was keen to comment saying, "For as long as possible here at The Pendle Pig we will strive to keep out prices the same, offering our customers the most affordable and quality hog roast services for them to enjoy immensely. Of course, it pork prices continue to rise, we will have to follow suite, but we aim to keep our prices low and to inform our customers as soon as possible should our pricing plans change at all."

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/19/2016 -- Recent tests have shown that some of the meat produced from British pigs is infected with a livestock strain of MSRA. This has raised concerns throughout the UK, with a number of people now refusing to eat pork.

The bug which can cause severe health problems has been found in pork products that have been for sale at supermarkets including Asda and Sainsbury's. In addition to this a loophole has been found within import regulations – with the door currently being held open for MRSA CC398-infected live pigs from Denmark where the disease is presently rife.

MRSA CC398 contains potentially fatal bacteria which can even be resistant to the strongest of antibiotics, so it is no wonder that people have been left so scared. Each year the bug kills roughly 300 people in England and Wales alone.

A spokesperson from The Pendle Pig, a leading hog roast caterer in Lancashire was keen to comment saying, "With this scare currently affecting many households, for many it is time to reconsider where pork is purchased from. Here at The Pendle Pig we only use pigs from our local farm, where all animals are raised organically and 100% healthy – enabling all to enjoy the most satisfying and tasty pork without being scared."

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/19/2016 -- The maximum five star rating has recently been given to over 650 food places in Preston – surpassing many people's expectations, including those of health bosses at Preston Council.

The 650+ food places that received 5 star ratings include cafes, restaurants, takeaways and also mobile caterers, all of which have been congratulated for their impressive efforts. However, unfortunately dozens of food places have also been told to improve by inspectors and hygiene chiefs, with the worst places receiving 0 star ratings and being names and shamed publicly.

There are three main elements when it comes to mandatory hygiene inspections and these are:
- How hygienically the food is handled, including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storing
- The condition of the premises, including cleanliness, ventilation, lighting and more
- How a business manages it's methods to ensure food safety, ensuring correct systems are in place

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2016 -- Pork and eating it in 'pulled form' – where the meat is cooked slowly over a lower temperature to allow for succulence – is anticipated to be a significant food trend this 2016. These expectations are fuelled by the news that the popular foodchain TGI Fridays is set to feature a 'Pulled Pork Sundae' on its new menu. These dishes reflect what the caterers believe people want to eat; therefore emphasizing pork as highly popular and allowing for a variety of uses.

After all, it is the versatility and sweet, satisfying taste of pulled pork which many people love. That it now features in such an innovative form across TGI Friday's restaurants is just one example of greater publicity for pulled pork; as over the course of 2015 and so far in 2016 it has been featured in number of burger, sandwich and even pizza commercial options. In turn a trend running in parallel is expected this year; people opting to incorporate pulled pork more into their eating habits, as it clearly is a popular food which impresses.

Keen to comment on the prominence of pulled pork was The Pendle Pig, a key provider of hog roast services:
"It is great to see that more attention is being drawn to pulledpork as a versatile, exciting food. There are so many ways it can be served too – and this is not only celebrated by TGIFridays – but can be celebrated at your own home or event venue when you opt for a hog roast! Our roasting services produce quality pulled pork."

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2016 -- According to recent figures released by Defra and analysed by AHDV Pork, the production of pork meat in 2015 was at a greater volume at the end of the year compared to beef – the first time this has happened since 2003. Pork production had increased by 4% over the course of 2015; emphasizing it as an increasingly popular food product with further growth expected this year. It is thought that the increased affordability of pork joints and the variety of serving methods are playing a key role in the meats continued growth. A parallel trend therefore expected is increased interest in affordable, quality pork products –as the public realise the scale of interest.

It is particularly significant that pork has exceeded beef production levels; possibly revealing new eating habits of modern consumers. For example, beef is traditionally seen as a sit-down meal, whilst pork is often incorporated into convenience dishes; with both healthy and fast-food options available. A popular example is pulled pork, which over the course of 2015 and also due in2016, saw sales across products including sandwiches, pizzas and burgers.

The Pendle Pig is a prime example of a hog roast provider, serving up pulled pork at a variety of occasions. They are aware of the rising interest in pork products and a spokesperson had this to say:

"That pork seems to overtaking beef is indicatory that the modern consumer seems to prefer a more versatile, milder meat they can dress up as they like. This is a big thing about pork; it can be served in a variety of ways to suit the modern individual. This is something we strive to provide here at The Pendle Pig."

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/04/2016 -- Reports reveal that pulled pork advertising is set to return to television screens in early 2016, according to the National Pig Association (NPA). This highlights the consumer popularity of the slowly-cooked succulent meat and also that pulled pork and its related products constitute a growing industry. It follows on from a successful 2015 campaign to advertise pulled pork products across the media, including recipes and seasonal suggestions. Now major food outlets including Burger King and Subway have offered pulled pork options, and there are a number of indicators in place which suggests that it is going to be one the most popular meats in 2016.

Pulled pork is the result of cooking a pig for a long time, typically over a low heat, in order to ensure that the meat stays as moist as possible. In turn this falls from the bone and has a light texture somewhat different from sliced pork. The reports and announcements from the NPA about further television advertising highlights that it is a clearly media-savvy food. People often speak up on the attractive qualities of pulled pork, especially the impressive hog roasting process. In turn, hog roast and pulled pork could be considered a key catering feature for 2016.

The Pendle Pig is a prime provider of hog roasting services allowing for quality pulled pork. A spokesperson had this to say:

"That more television advertising is expected for pulled pork shows what a popular form of meat it is. You can make the most of this popularity in 2016 by extending it to your guests as a catering option; after all, more people are accepted to see the TV ads – which will be running to coincide with occasions such as Valentine's Day and Mothering Sunday. It's a media-approved food and great for events: so make the most of it! After all the sight of a hog roast and the delicious aromas of polled pork are unforgettable. That is why we offer complete hog roasting service here at the Pendle Pig."

Hapton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2015 -- UK Hog Roasting Company, The Pendle Pig, have recently commented on the news that the UK and US are set to receive further funding for animal health and disease research, which should improve animals well beings and the safety of the meat.

The funding comes from five jointly-funded research awards, which has drawn over £2.3 million from UK funding and $2.3 million from US funding. The funding is in support of 'high impact diseases and animal health issues' which makes use of the animal health and disease and veterinary immune reagents programme which is a collaboration between the two countries.

NIFA director, Sonny Ramaswamy said, 'These grants enable an international research partnership that looks to control the spread of pathogens, ensuring we can effectively reduce the health risks and environmental impacts on foot production worldwide.'

The money for the UK has been provided by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council with the US funding provided by the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The deputy chief executive of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Steve Visscher, said, 'A growing world population means that safe and secure food supplies are going to become more and more important in the years to come. The scale of such challenges require increased international collaboration, and this partnership of co-investment between BBSRC and NIFA will allow world-leading researchers in both countries to work together to combat livestock diseases and safeguard food supplies.'

Often commenting on industry news, a spokesperson for The Pendle Pig said, 'The funding will be a huge benefit to the US and the UK, and it's the funding that's been needed for years. The health of live stock is incredibly important to avoid a crisis, and it should improve the quality of farming throughout the country, and the US.

We only use the finest organic pigs for our hog roasts, and we believe the quality will continue to improve as advancements are made in research and technology.'
