Pillsbury are owned by a multinational company (General Mills), but the "Pillsbury" brand name is not, to the best of my knowledge, used outside the US. I've only heard of it because I read American books. I doubt that either "Pillsbury" or "Doughboy" would be names that many British people would recognise.
