Our Story
WELCOME TO DORSET PASTRY
Dorset Pastry is nestled amid the rolling hills of West Dorset; a traditionally made, high quality, additive-free, and preservative-free pastry for both retail and food service. As multi award-winning producers, we source only the best ingredients and use traditional methods such as hand-folding and resting to create the very highest quality pastry.
Our pastry doesn’t contain any stabilisers, relaxants, or additives – commonly used to ensure consistency in mass production. In fact, we are the first producers of Organic Puff Pastry in the world, and the only producers of Organic Puff Pastry in the UK. Our pastry is sold frozen, and the taste and characteristics can vary slightly, depending on the season or weather conditions when the wheat was harvested, and the butter produced. We like to think that this organic approach to pastry-making gives us an edge – a unique taste inspired by the West Country and all its elements.
Dorset Pastry’s signature Puff Pastry is a firm favourite with chefs and customers across the country. You can find it in the kitchens of the UK’s best restaurants as well as in the freezers of top chefs – a well-kept secret among the best.

“You couldn't better this”
“This has everything you want from a butter puff pastry - it is light as a feather, each layer is separate and it just melts in the mouth. The butter is rich, creamy, clean, and full of flavour, with a profile that says dairy without any fattiness. You couldn't better this as a simple puff pastry“
