Paul Anthony Williams, fondly known as Baker, embarked on his patty-making journey at the tender age of 14 in Jamaica. Today, Baker and his family have made a name for themselves in south London for their delectable Jamaican patties. Since 2018, they have been crafting these flavorful treats in Brixton, turning what Baker describes as "like therapy" into a thriving family business.
The family's patty-making venture is a collective affair. Baker's girlfriend, Charmaine, and her boyfriend, Fabian, are integral to the process. Their collaborative effort has resulted in a wide array of patty flavors that have captivated the taste buds of many Londoners. Charmaine, drawing from her experience in a school canteen, has played a pivotal role in creating these unique and diverse flavors.
Their dedication and innovation have not gone unnoticed. The family has been featured on BBC Radio London, further solidifying their reputation as purveyors of quality Jamaican patties. During a segment, Anayah Richards from BBC Radio London visited the family to experience the art of patty-making firsthand. This exposure has only added to their acclaim, showcasing their culinary skills to a broader audience.
Baker believes in the timeless value of family, asserting that "people come, people go, but family is forever." This sentiment is at the heart of their business. Each patty reflects not just a blend of spices and flavors but also the love and unity that fuels their success. The family's commitment to each other and their craft is evident in every bite of their patties.
