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.

Pretty good!! Fun heritage to share-
Bought for an upcoming hike as a cheeky snack to share at the summit. Honestly, compared to alot of modern workout squeezes and odd flavored potassium stuff, this feels like a refreshing, cleaner, simpler energy alternative. Does not taste like pure sugar, despite being basically that. The mint is really quite lovely.
Check the macros. This is definitely intended for High endurance or hiking sports- I wouldn't recommend this as a casual candy snack.

Pity about the packaging, see uodate
Great products, well priced, just a pity the packaging was not up to the job. 3 out of 10 bars of Kendal mint cake broken into pieces and the nice tin to keep a bar of KMC in also didn't make the journey without being damaged, great pity, will I buy again, depends not impressed, with this order....
UPDATE...
After being contacted by Greg, my order has now been completed to my satisfaction, thanks Greg and all at Romney's for sorting out the problem, this time everything was well packaged and arrived in A1 condition.

Hello Mr & Mrs R Ward,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on order #14507.
I'm truly disappointed to hear that bars of our Kendal Mint Cake and the Tin arrived damaged. We have opened an investigation with our warehouse team to ascertain how this incident occurred, and we are committed to ensuring it does not happen again in the future.
As a gesture of goodwill, I would like to send replacements for the damaged goods, in the hope that it restores your faith in our company.
Thank you for supporting our 5th-generation family business.
Kind regards,
Greg
