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

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.

Reply from George Romney Ltd

Good morning Linda,

I have launched an immediate investigation with Royal Mail as to why this item has not cleared customs. All of the necessary documentation was attached to the parcel and we have never faced any issues shipping to the Netherlands.

I will provide you with an update from this investigation as soon as I receive one. In the meantime, we would be more than happy to resend the parcel or provide a full refund for the order. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused and thank you for supporting our 5th generation family business.

Kind regards,
Greg Taylor
Operations Manager
