Pâtés With Passion
Patchwork was established in 1982 by Margaret Carter, a talented, although untrained, home cook. With a start up cost of just £9.00, saved from the housekeeping, she began selling her home made pâtés to pubs in nearby Llangollen.
As she attracted more customers and the business started to expand the business moved from her house in 1987 to a purpose-equipped factory in the heart of Ruthin.
But where did Patchwork Pâtés come from?
Mags (Margaret) used to knit patchwork quilt hats for their individual Pates, and that’s where the name & legacy was born!
These days everything is still hand-made in small batches, without artificial colouring, additives or preservatives, to Margaret’s original recipes.
Over many years we have enhanced our recipes and suppliers to make the best British pate in the country. Using the best ingredients and processing methods, alongside a striking brand, our products will give the retail category of Pate a much needed premiumisation opportunity.
Patchwork Foods is now BRC accredited and is available to chefs as well as developing bespoke products for companies.
