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.

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.

I bought as a gift and ordered a little too close to the event. Nevertheless, the mint cake arrived in time and sufficiently well packaged that the largest bar was unbroken

Ordered the chocolate coated Kendal mint cake for my son. He adores the tiny bars as he can take one to tennis in his pocket. The online order was accepted but accidentally I put the wrong address. I emailed the company, Greg responded very quickly and changed to correct address. My parcel arrived within 3 days, very well packed. Excellent service, excellent product and excellent personal service. A1 +++++ firm. Well done

Romney's Kendal Mint Cake is delicious and the best there is in my opinion. Ordering was straightforward and easy. Delivered safely and promptly, arriving with me only 48 hours after placing my order. I was very impressed with such efficient service.

Being able to buy direct, at an attractive price which supports the manufacturer is a really good, especially when our nearest retailers seem to want excessive profits. Finding treats like the Everest box was a real bonus. Good packing and prompt delivery round off an excellent online purchase. I'll be back.. !

There's nothing like Kendal mint cake, it is just addictive! We live in a small city in New Zealand, so it is difficult to come by. Ordering online was far easier than asking the local candy shop every week if they had it in stock. ;) Thanks to the George Romney team for making my friend's 71st birthday memorable with their Chocolate Dream box. Even during Christmas there were no problems. And, i am not usually fond of dark chocolate but the way they use it on their Kendal mint cakes is exceptional. Awesome business.
