Grasmere Gingerbread

Escape's take on Grasmere Gingerbread

In amidst the rolling hills of the Lake District, there is a small family-run business that has been making gingerbread since 1854. And it's no ordinary gingerbread - the owners, Joanne and Andrew Hunter, have a secret recipe that has never been written down and is known only to three people at any one time. Grasmere Gingerbread is an institution of the national park and a must-visit for anyone in the area. But what is it like to work there? Their employees say it is a beautiful place to work with a close-knit team and a great working atmosphere.
