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.

Nothing wrong with the product iteself, but can I suggest you use more sturdy packing materials? Perhaps tri-wall carton. This would help to save the mintcake arriving in multiple pieces.

I read about your mint cakes online, went to your site, made the order and they were delivered from the UK to the US sooner than I expected. They taste amazing, I will be ordering again. Edit: I would love to visit the UK sometime. My father was a B17 tailgunner based at Horham Field, 95th bomb group, he loved England.

Delicious! I love that I could buy a box of 42 to fuel many long runs and walks. Will never tire of this as a go-to delicious energy bar

I can't believe how quickly my shipment arrived in Arizona, with everything in perfect condition. Based on my online research, I don't think I'm supposed to like mint cake, but I tried it in Wales when my wife and I were touring in the Spring, and I had to have more! Thanks, Romney's!

Kendal Mint Cake has been a staple of our family holidays since I was a child. There is nothing quite like it. So, if you want some, buy direct from George Romney, the manufacturer. They also sell other ‘retro’ style sweets (though after my last purchase, I was emailed to tell me that part of my order was out of stock). Shouldn’t the website only allow purchases of stock items? Otherwise, great products, prompt delivery (and prompt refund!). I’d be happy to shop here again.

Product is fine but packaging was falling apart when it was delivered. Luckily no damage to products. Maybe rethink packing?
