Cartmel Village Shop

I love sticky toffee pudding and have eaten a lot of it in my life. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that in my opinion Cartmel sticky toffee pudding is the best in the world. It is beautifully moist and sticky but not cloying, just the right hint of firmness on the outside without being dry, wonderful texture and a divine flavour with a hint of toasted caramel. All served with a scoop of lovely vanilla ice cream. You want to close your eyes and savour every mouthful. Try some, you will not regret it.

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.

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.

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.

Great shop with fantastic goodies, lots are local. The Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding is SO delicious. We got gifts for friends who were pleased with the STP! Just GO!

Well worth a visit. Their famous toffee pudding is just amazing! Same as a convenient store, plus extra.

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.

Lovely little village shop. Lots of food gifts and of course the original Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding, plus lots of different flavours (lemon drizzle cake, chocolate sponge etc)

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!
