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 Margaret attracted more and more customers and the business successfully started to expand she moved the business from her house in 1987 to a purpose-equipped factory in the heart of Ruthin. Everything we make is still hand-made in small batches, without artificial colouring, additives or preservatives, and strictly to Margaret’s original recipes. The Patchwork Traditional Food Company now has a strong work force of 30 employees who once worked as a self directed team. However, when we introduced the British Retail Consortium quality systems to achieve our grade A we had to introduce a more structured supervisory process. We have maintained as much as we can of our original management systems and we still maintain a factory with limited titles where everyone is able to have their say and openly voice their opinion. We have won over 80 taste awards We still cook our pate in small batches like we did 27 years ago We use over 25 different types of alcohol in our range We have NEVER used artificial additives, preservatives or colourings Our products have NO hydrogenated fats All our Products have a 12 Month Frozen Shelf Life & a 10 Day chilled life once defrosted
