Christmas 2021 - Mail Order Information

Keeping qualities of Grasmere Gingerbread®

Grasmere Gingerbread® is freshly-baked every day following an old-fashioned recipe and therefore has a very limited shelf life. The quality of Grasmere Gingerbread® will significantly deteriorate after one week.

Recent testing has shown that it keeps better in a fridge/cold environment in an airtight container, however we still recommend consumption within a maximum of one week.

For more keeping qualities, serving suggestions and questions please see our Frequently Asked Questions.

Our artisan bakery produces Grasmere Gingerbread® fresh each morning for that day’s dispatch and there is a limited number of parcels that can be processed. Therefore, we highly recommend that you place your order as soon as possible when booking your Grasmere Gingerbread® delivery date.

Order NOW so you will not be disappointed; we close dates of dispatch once we meet our capacity – sorry.*
