Our Story

With a love of baking, I founded LJ’s Pantry in 2014. Since then, the business has grown from strength to strength. Along with my partner and my young family, we work hard to create delicious products using locally sourced ingredients. We have a core menu of bakes that are popular favourites and then I also like to add speciality items as per the season and what’s in my larder.

Over the years, we have tailored our experience to create award-winning pasties, pies, and sausage rolls. We started by attending lots of different shows and events, building up our name and feeding lots of happy people. Demand meant that we now supply lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants across Devon – but you can still find us at events as that is where our heart and roots lie.

We are happy to take bespoke orders and you can contact us be email, phone, or text. Please allow us notice for any food orders as we cook everything from scratch.

"For me the best pasties, absolutely lovely. Lora has perfected her pastry and her fillings are generous and very tasty"

Andrew Tomes

"The best pasties in the area, by miles. Filled to the brim with locally sourced ingredients, great flavour, and gorgeous pastry. We buy extras to pop in the freezer, as they're big enough to make an easy meal."

"Big fan of the best pasties around, tried the Christmas one last night, bit wary as not sure about cranberry but it was AMAZING. Top work Lora. Hope to try that one again! Nom, nom."

Behind The Scenes

Here at LJ’s Pantry, we work hard to bring you the finest quality food and we are very proud of all our awards including our consistent 5-star food hygiene rating. There’s always something baking in our bespoke kitchens and here’s a glimpse of our behind-the-scenes action.

We’ve been lucky enough to bake for the King and Queen Consort! And we had great fun providing food for the DIY SOS guys when they were working nearby here in North Devon. But our favourite thing is to provide quality products day in day out to all our regular and local customers – so here’s a big thank you for all your support! We love what we do
