George Romney Ltd, Mintsfeet Road North, LA9 6NA, Kendal, GB
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.
Product arrived well packaged and on time, with contents as ordered and a discount voucher for next purchase - lovely
A fantastic service with products to match. You can't beat a family run business. Thank you.
I've enjoyed Kendal Mint Cake for more decades than I'd care to admit to. We used to stop off at Kendal in the pre M6 days, where my life long addiction first began! Then we used to buy it at Tebay Services. Now you can buy it online, I've never been disappointed in the quick delivery and the quality remains perfect. 10 out of 10 unfortunately you can only leave 5 stars.
I work 500ft underground in a Slate Mine most of the week and wouldn’t think of going underground without my KMC. ( part of my survival kit ) Thanks Mr Romney. 👍🏻👨🚒
The mintcake fondant mints are to die for, delicious soft and minty. Excellent for walking or after dinner. The chocolate covered mint cake tastes elegantly minty, keeps you going.

Very prompt delivery. Although I missed the UPS driver, package was left far though, at a pick up point (a dry cleaners) about a 40 minute walk away. Was not impressed with staff at dry cleaners. Was told to find my package from within a large box by the entrance. I could have taken the lot, as the man walked off to the back and left me to it. Didn’t even ask who I was, until I found my parcel.
Order delivered very quickly and product of the usual high standard .
I am an Expat visiting home/UK for a couple of weeks. I contacted the company to see how fast an order could make it to my hotel. Long story short, I got lots of extremely delicious Romney mint cake, free shipping, 48 hours after ordering. I am heading back to the US well stocked. Great company and great service.
