SARASOTA – Florida is one of the world’s largest gathering places for Expatriate Brits. Brits love Florida, and across the state you will find British Pubs, stores, publications and such.
One of the best of the Florida British goods companies is 4 & 20 Pasty Company in Sarasota County. Located on Swift Road just a few stoplights past Siesta Key, the Pasty Company has all the great British bakery items including pork pies, desert pasties, Cornish pasties, steak kidney and mushroom pie, shepherd’s pie and other assorted baked goods. Owners Richard and Barbara Posner, who started the business in 1990, hail from London.
They are not just a shop, but a USDA-inspected manufacturer and wholesaler, and sell across the nation. Particularly worthwhile are their apple pies, made with fresh Russet apples and baked to that crispy spot just before the crust turns bitter. Have a White’s Lemonade with it, and it is heaven.
