Grasmere Gingerbread® has opened a second shop in Hawkshead; 169 years after our inventor Sarah Nelson first sold her world-famous famous spicy-sweet cross between a biscuit and cake from her Church Cottage home - now The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop - in the village of Grasmere
Our exciting new venture sells freshly baked Grasmere Gingerbread® and takeaway coffee supplied by artisan roaster Duffin’s Coffee, Staveley, near Kendal.
It also offers Grasmere Gingerbread® ice cream and stocks dozens of other ginger-themed foodstuffs and gifts made by fellow Cumbrian small businesses.
“The response from customers has been overwhelming,” said Andrew Hunter, co-director of the 169-year-old business.
“Our Hawkshead shop does not simply replicate The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop experience in Grasmere; it provides terrific takeaway coffee and consciously showcases lots of great products made by other small and family Cumbrian businesses, many of whom we have been working with for years but whose products we may have only sold online due to a lack of space in our original shop in Grasmere.
“Duffin’s Coffee provided all the barista training for our staff and they have been a joy to work with.”
Our Hawkshead shop, which is located at Corner Shop, Main Street, Hawkshead, LA22 0NS
It is open Tuesday - Sunday, 10am to 4.30 pm.
