About George Romney Ltd

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.

Can't beat the original Mint Cake... Although one of my new favourite flavours is the 'Winter Candy'. Delivery was well packaged and Quick. Courier followed delivery instructions. Returning customer, and will be again when this supply runs out. Cheaper than buying in the shops.

The winter candy or aniseed arrived soon after I ordered it. I was very pleased to get the bars because I have become enamoured of the aniseed flavour. It's a very distinct flavour and I haven't always liked it, but recently I can't get enough of it. Funny how your tastes can change. Anyone who thinks they don't like the flavour should try it again, just to make sure.

My order of 3 variaties of Kendal mint cake arrived on time and packaged in a sturdy box. But the best bit is opening the wrapper and eating the contents and the flavour is spot on..

Fast shipping (and to the US from the UK!), well packaged (Amazon should take lessons from you!) and great product! I haven't had any mint cake in over 3 decades and the memories of my teen years hiking the Lake District munching on mint cake came flooding back at the first bite. Have to be cautious now I'm old and diabetic, so no more plowing through a couple of them in a day! But a nice treat every now and then.
