Following a return from a short break in Cumbria we returned with a couple of small slabs of Kendal Mint Cake. This was very quickly squirreled away by one of our Granddaughter's. Needless to say sh... See more

Company details
Written by the company
George Romney Ltd is a fourth-generation confectionery business that you’ll find located on the edge of the Lake District National Park in the market town of Kendal. Mr Sam. T. Clarke, the great grandfather of the present Managing Director, Mr John Barron, started production of Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake in 1918 after being medically discharged during the First World War. Unable to obtain supplies of Kendal Mint Cake, he sought out and purchased an old recipe and started a confectionery manufacturing business. The company name ‘George Romney Ltd.’ was chosen as a result of Kendal’s association with the famous portrait painter, as well as the fact that the family home was on Romney Road. Romney's Kendal Mint Cake was immortalised in history on May 29th 1953 when it was carried on the first successful summit of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sirdar Tenzing. All of our production now takes place on-site at Mintsfeet Industrial Estate, Kendal, where we have been since 1969. We now employ 16 members of full and part-time staff, who collectively produce over 100 tonnes of Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake a year. We also produce a large range of fudge, gift hampers, and our very own Old Fashioned Treacle Toffee — that’s still being made to an original family recipe.

First the product is excellent
First the product is excellent, the packaging is excellent, it was an excellent Father’s Day present from my son in Australia. The taste bought back memories of a school weeks holiday in Langdale in 1958. Advice from my father, who walked many miles in the Lake District in the early 1939’s, bring back some Kendall Mint Cake! I got a bar but wasn’t sure if it was correct, as I was expecting a “proper” cake!
Thank you for bringing back those memories

Excellent service
Kept informed dispatch and arrived in a solid cardboard box, not a flimsy bag, so my Mint Cake Tins where perfect when they arrived. Thank you for a brilliant service.

Consistently Good Experience
Have been a regular visitor and customer to the Romney Kendal Mint cake website shop. My experience has been consistently good that I’ve used their products for gifts to friends and family.
They dispense and dispatch quickly sometimes arriving next day . I’ve been enjoying the sweetshop selection recently but personally like their various mint cakes as well. I always carry some Romney mint cake on long walks and hikes , a real life saver when your energy levels start to sink . I can highly recommend this company.

Plastic wrapper inside. Why?
Well packaged, prompt delivery. Surprised/disappointed the mint cake is wrapped in clear plastic inside the outer wrapping. Why??
