The Patchwork Traditional Food Company Backgrounder

The Patchwork Traditional Food Company is an award winning company founded in 1982 by Margaret Carter.

A family business, the company began with a start-up fund of £9, invested from then single mother Margaret's housekeeping funds. In these early days Margaret would prepare pâtés in her home near Llangollen, North Wales and supply them to local pubs and restaurants.

Today the company occupies purpose built kitchens in nearby Ruthin where it employs 20 people.

Margaret's son, Rufus shares the same passion as his mother and now that Rufus is the managing director of the company he ensures that all the products are still made to Margaret's original recipes.

Now The Patchwork Traditional Food Company's range of products extends beyond pâtés and comprises of over seventy different items.

The pâté range itself includes chicken liver, game liver, fish, cheese and vegetarian, including seasonal limited editions. Traditional flavours are skilfully blended with the unexpected to produce unique tastes such as Chicken Liver, Chilli & Lemongrass.

Other Products produced by Patchwork include ranges of Hummus, Chocolate Terrines, Chutneys and Soups.

Under the Patchwork brand there is also a range of Spelt Oat Fingers, Spelt Blinis and a range of Ice Cream for Grownups. The Ice Cream is a range of handmade ice cream made with cream, milk, raw cane sugar and egg yolks. Three of the range has alcohol soaked fruits creating flavour combinations like Apple & Calvados and Tequila & Cranberry. Like all of Patchwork's products the Ice Cream for Grown Ups is made with no additives, stabilisers or preservatives.

On the Patchwork Traditional Food Company's web site there are offers of themed hampers in stylish bags or wooden cases. These include the Christmas at Home Hamper containing the limited edition Festive Duck Pâté and Stilton & Cranberry pâtés as well as Baileys Chocolate Terrine. Selected hampers are provided complete with ramekins and slate platters for presentation. The themed hamper range caters for all tastes and budgets.

All Patchwork's products are free from artificial additives, preservatives or hydrogenated fats and made using only the highest quality ingredients. The company hand makes its products on a scale small enough to ensure their textures and flavours remain faithful to Margaret's original recipes but large enough to cope with the ever increasing demand.

The Patchwork Traditional Food Company has won more than 100 awards in recognition of its products and business ethos.

In 2010 Patchwork's Vanilla Ice Cream with Anglesey Sea Salted Caramel won the Silver Award in the True Taste Awards: this award is presented to the outstanding food and drink from the people of Wales.

Most recently, Patchwork participated in the famous Great Taste Awards. These awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, is the acknowledged benchmark for speciality food and drink, it has also been described as the 'Oscars' of the food world. Two products have joined Patchwork's other award winners this year with a Gold Star Award for Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Chutney with Unicorn Ale and Apricot & Orange Chutney with Wychcraft Ale.
