About Fortnum & Mason

Written by the company

Welcome to Fortnum & Mason.

Since the first day they opened their doors back in 1707, Fortnum & Mason has been an essential destination for all in search of extraordinary food, unforgettable experiences and joy-giving things.

In the centuries since, they've perfected the art of Afternoon Tea at The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, sent their iconic wicker hampers to every corner of the globe, created all manner of wonderful things to eat and drink from our Food Hall, and even found the time to write a Cook Book or two, filled with countless mouthwatering recipes from the restaurants at their London flagship store.

Proud holders of Royal Warrants for generations, Fortnum's commitment to delicious innovation continues apace, with new stores opening close to home and further afield, and the introduction of a new 3rd Floor at Piccadilly, complete with a stunning Food & Drink Studio, Cook Shop, and an in-house gin distillery.

Great products and general service

Great products and general service, not so great is no alcohol sales to Northern Ireland. There is ways to trade with Northern Ireland even for alcohol but Fortnums seem to ignore that!

Product excellent. Delivery excellent.
My only concern was packaging – two small articles wrapped in a large box. It may be cost-effective, but not very green.

Never shop online with that store

Never shop online with that store! To receive your online order, you will have to contact customer service and start a lengthy communication with them about why you haven't received the order. To get a refund for the returned goods, you will have to contact customer service AGAIN and start a lengthy communication about why you haven't been refunded after three weeks from confirmed delivery and receipt of the returned goods, only to be told that they are INVESTIGATING. Still waiting for the refund. Unbelievably poor service for such a high-end establishment.

Excellent service from Fortnum & Mason. I placed an order, unfortunately one of my products I ordered was out of stock, I was credited the delivery charges automatically and once my order was back in stock they kept me fully informed and delivered it. Well done and thank you.
