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.

Quick and trouble free.
Well packed parcel
Ease of ordering, good delivery.
Wow!! I placed an order the other day and expected it to take a while to arrive due to it being Christmas and the current problems. Not at all, the order arrived within a matter of days and was well-packaged. The product, Kendal Mint Cake, is as old as the hills and it's great to see that it and the tins are the same as they have always been. It's just a pity I was buying for others and not for myself. I strongly recommend Romney's.
Ordered a couple of Xmas gift boxes from Romney's and I was very pleased with them. Lots of different options to try and beautifully presented, these make great gifts for anyone who is a fan of Kendal mint cake (and who isn't?) - delivery was very fast and the whole purchase exceeded my expectations. Well done.
