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.

Greg helped me quickly and the order was delivered by mail service straight to my home in western Canada with zero hassle. I wish I had pushed harder for a mixed order of half brown, half white , but did not. The one comment I would have is is to make split order types easier on those low-mid-range volumes of product. All in all the ordering and fulfillment was excellent. Good customer experience, and thanks again.

The chocolate kendal mint cake is the best
Very quick delivery with everything packaged well. We loved the kendal mint cake but weren't too keen on the fudge.

Recent purchase
Recently bought a box of white and a box of brown mint cake. I used to buy this in the late sixties, early seventies, yes its just as good as it has always been. they were a present for the wife who loves the stuff, the difference is it lasts a lot longer with her than it does with me.

What prompt delivery
What prompt delivery, ours was an overseas order, UK to Australia. After placing our order about a week ago, it was delivered today in perfect condition. This is our second order, and when this lot is finished will definitely order again. Packaging sturdy.

Product as expected and acceptable. Family says not good for me, aged fart, as too much sugar. Packaging very professional and great. For a one off present price acceptable.
