Straight to the source. A visit to some of our Cumbrian suppliers offered a closer look at the craft, care & stories behind the products we work so closely with.

A jackdaw crows about Grasmere Gingerbread crumbs on our ‘Gingerjack’ card.
Dropped by customers, the crumbs are first eaten by jackdaws, then blackbirds and robins in the pecking order outside The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop. No birdbrains here.

Artisan Grasmere Gingerbread® never makes a hash of its unique, spicy-sweet treat made from a secret clean recipe.
Moreover, at only £1 a slice, it is the world’s tastiest food ‘to go’

When singer/songwriter L Devine wanted to give her USA relatives a true taste of the North; complete with stunning Lake District views and a stop at the iconic Grasmere Gingerbread shop, we made it happen in style. Mountains, memories, and a little ginger-spiced magic! #LDevine

Attending the celebration of Sarah Nelson who invented #GrasmereGingerbread in 1854. A wonderful service in St. Oswald’s hosted by Rory Bremner with super performances. I couldn’t resist a quick sketch this morning. I’ve loved painting the @BestGingerbread shop over the years.

For @Vzesniauskaite’s surprise birthday getaway last week, I took her to @gilpinhotel at Lake Windermere. I love all the golden autumnal colours. 🍁🍂
While there we enjoyed a @windermerejetty heritage sailing and indulged in some @BestGingerbread. 🚤😋 #LakeDistrict
