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.
