Our premium British pastas are in over 450 independent shops, appear on some incredible restaurant menus and are being enjoyed at family dinner tables up and down the UK!

Team Yorkshire Pasta

Kathryn

Meet (ME) Kathryn

I founded The Yorkshire Pasta Company when I was only 27. I’m so proud to have started the first British Pasta brand and to have done it so sustainably.
I love running the business, it has been a steep learning curve and I’ve learnt so much! I have met so many amazing people and businesses over the last 4 years.
Some of my highlights so far include appearing on James Martin, making the Finals of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards and supplying Harrods. I am always blown away to hear Italians raving about our Yorkshire Pasta and hearing stories of it being sent to Italy to show family!

Fun Facts:

  • I am a farmer’s daughter and Mum of two boys
  • I play field hockey, I’m a left wing and never get too competitive on the pitch…
  • I have always adored a good bolognese, there are pictures of me as a toddler in a high chair covered head to toe! It was also the last evening meal I ate before getting married.
  • I am a massive foodie and love cooking, I have a huge recipe book collection and yet often go ‘off piste’
  • My favourite food of all time is Pasta – obviously!
