No longer vegan.

No longer vegan with no warning and I’d already got my gingerbread home before realising. I’ve emailed them but so far no response.

Cons: No longer vegan

No longer vegan?!

This gingerbread definitely used to be vegan, and this was stated on the website. However, we’ve just opened the package of gingerbread we bought a few days ago and the ingredients clearly label butter and milk!

Gingerbread not vegan!

Gingerbread now contains milk and so isn’t vegan!

Don't bother any more

Gutted. We just bought 6 pieces and discovered the recipe has changed. Now it has milk in 😭

Cons: No longer vegan.

Pleasantly surprised

It's so wonderful to find a coveted dessert item that is also vegan. We really enjoyed the gingerbread with surprising citrus notes. Would definitely recommend a stop (including waiting in the queue) if you are in the area.

Vegan gingerbread

It’s vegan gingerbread. Not sure how much to trust that it’s vegan because they obviously don’t release the recipe but it’s amazing and we have been coming to get it year after year

Pretty famous place

Good place to have a quick sweet snack. Pretty strong with the ginger (obviously) just make sure you are aware of this :)

Delicious!

One of the most delicious biscuits I've ever had. A real find. Just a pity they only last 1 week 😕 I would recommend anyone go out of there way to visit the shop and buy these. As a bonus the shop is surrounded by great walks and a lovely village.

Pros: Delicious gingerbread, Lovely staff, Genuine

Cons: None

Gingery Heaven

Fabulous gingerbread, tried to get some last time I was here but the queue half way down the street! Managed to get in this time after a short wait! Worth the wait! Amazing flavour!

We met a young girl outside- she advised us to take a big bite to get to the gooey centre- clever girl! Fabulous and unique!

Tasty

The gingerbread is very yummy (though I suspect one of the secret ingedients is sugar, and lots of it). There are some other vegan items on sale such as chocolate-coated Kendal Mint Cake and Booja Booja items. The premises is pretty but extremely small, so a bit of a squeeze at times.

Pros: Delicious scran

Cons: Sometimes very crowded

Awesome!

The ginger bread was amazing and unlike anything I've had before. Perfect treat after a long day in the hills.
The staff knew instantly that it was vegan that is always reassuring.

Pros: Try it!

Best gingerbread ever

The friendly owners of Fox Hall Vegan B&B told us that Grasmere Gingerbread is vegan so off we went to find some.
Mmmmm no wonder it's said to be the best gingerbread that you'll ever taste. The flavour and texture were just gorgeous - like none we'd ever tried. We only bought a small packet to eat later but wish we'd bought more once we'd tasted it. The shop sells other things, but no idea if anything else was vegan, but it's worth visiting for the gingerbread alone.
