Company details
Written by the company
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.

Mint Cake peppermint!mmmm....
Mint Cake is a very good flu or cold remedy! It clears the sinuses throughout! It's used in countries like Canada, Norway, Sweden, Britain where you get the full blast of the cold weather. Peppermint is very good for you it has a profound ingredient that helps with lung congestion of mucus. My favourite remedy reliever and the chocolate covered brings the best in all fields. Profoundly my favourite!

Amazing!!
The treats here are all amazing! I can't recommend the mint cakes enough (if you like mint). If you don't, no need to worry. Their nougat sweets and fudge and butter buttons are absolutely delicious! You will love them!

I love Kendal Mint Cake
I love Kendal Mint Cake. It is one of the few constants in a long life and hasn't changed since I was a child in the sixties. Even the same packaging, or similar! May you continue for a long, long time.
