Cartmel Village Shop

Legendary shop, the home of the Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding. And it was gooooood. They also sell food, cheese, sweets and all sorts of other flavpur puddings. Its a must stop for dessert fans. Get a takeaway from here, And or have the same pudding and have a seat at the cafe opposite. Parking outside the front if you're lucky. Or pay for parking in the massive lot behind the shop. Its reasonably priced. Check out the history of the pudding yourself as its quite quote interesting. ***Update. I've now had the takeaway sticky Toffee Pudding at home, in the oven as recommended. It was a share pack for 2-4 people. And no one else had any. That should tell you how good it was. I'll be making a home delivery order for an assortment of flavours as soon the situation calls for it. Highly recommended.

Sell lots of treats! We purchased a bottle of The Lakes Whiskey at £85 & lots of other gorgeous goodies including bag of huge cookies at £4.75 for 6 & Christmas chocolate lollies at around £3 each. Also Christmas napkins for next year! Pleasant staff. Small shop so be careful, might be a good iidea for dogs to be left outside as it’s a tight squeeze when staff are up the ladders!

Delicious quiche, sandwiches and salads. Finished with their famous sticky toffee pudding which were also delicious (we tried the original and chocolate versions and bought the ginger one to take home). Service is relaxed. Upstairs cafe can get a bit busy but everything seems available for take away. Definitely recommend if in the area.

An absolute gem of a place. Fantastic range of the world famous Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding with jars of extra sauce. The pudding was amazing, very tasty but not as heavy as some.

I need a Cart, melts my heart looking at all the produce! Great range of local products not forgetting the wonderful range of puddings (ginger is my favourite!) Can get busy in the summer being a small shop soon gets crowded but always worth a visit. It's also handily placed for one of my other 'vices' as the racecourse is behind the shop!

Really lovely shop. Full of lots of cartmel gifts. Staff all lovely and are passionate about the shop and local area. Little cafe with good coffees and can get warm sticky toffee puddings. They do good deals on cartmel puddings so definitely worth a visit. The village in general Is also lovely so it is worth having a wander around while you're here.

A great selection of mouth-watering sweet and savoury products is always available especially the delicious sticky toffee pudding, which now comes in a variety of flavours. Upstairs is a cafe which serves freshly made soup, light meals, cakes and hot and cold drinks.

We visited on a quest to find a family-sized version of Cartmel Sticky Figgy Pudding (most shops only have the small sized portions, and family sized sticky toffee). We found it, hooray! There were many artisan products on sale, lots of local produce and staff were helpful.

The delivery was very fast, the packaging was nice, and the quality of the products was very high.

When I mentioned that I was going to be dining at L'Enclume restaurant in the village of Cartmel, I was informed by my friends in Bolton that it was the home of sticky toffee pudding. In the interest of Yelp review accuracy, I looked this fact up on the internet and there seems to be some dispute as to the exact origin to this most unctuous of steamed British comfort food puddings. I shall therefore call Cartmel one of the possible homes of sticky toffee pudding. While dining at L'Enclume, we asked the staff there where the best place to get the most authentic sticky toffee pudding and they pointed us in the direction of the Cartmel Village Shop. Now, I'm not sure what sort of village shop you're lucky enough to have in your vicinity but let me say that this place is hiding its light under a bushel by calling itself a village shop. In London, they would call themselves a deli and charge an arm and a leg for their goods. The shelves are really stocked with top class produce and brands. However, we had come for the award winning sticky toffee pudding. In perusing their fridge, we spotted variations - sticky ginger pudding and sticky banana pudding. So we left with a handful of different varieties to try. All in the name of Yelp research obviously! The packaging says that this village shop is the home of sticky toffee pudding where they used to be made in the kitchen at the back of the shop. The kitchen has since moved but the shop remains. I shall be reporting back shortly about the pudding itself but if you're a foodie visiting Cartmel, this treasure trove is a must.

Fantastic little local shop selling local produce and the sticky toffee pudding to die for. The staff their were very helpful and friendly as we were visiting the lakes they were happy to help with any queries we had x

What more could you want from a village shop? Specialising in sticky toffee pudding, the Cartmel Village Shop is well worth popping into to pick up some tasty treats or browse through various cooking products - they have pretty much all of them. You can browse liquors, pates, crisps, jellies (some with specks of gold and silver in them - plush!) and jams. If you were staying in the village, this would be where you popped to for your milk and walk out with a bitty dinner with lots to snack on. Prices aren't extortionate, so make sure you pick items up and take a look before dismissing them.

Wonderful deli shop selling all sorts of sweet treats; their sticky toffee pudding (which used to be made in the shop but due to demand is made just down the road) is to die for- you can also find the sticky toffee pudding in many independent delis across the country but I personally like to buy at their shop in Cartmel. Staff are always friendly!
