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.

Omitted the birthday message

Mostly fine, the product was good, delivered on time. But it was missing the birthday message so the recipient didn’t know I’d sent them a birthday gift. Hence 3 stars as I think that’s a pretty big fail

Not enough staff and staff present…

Not enough staff and staff present seriously rude - given the premium pricing customers should expect to be served quickly and efficiently and spoken to politely. I went into the F&M store at St Pancras today to buy some presents. Apart from the security staff there was only one member of staff in the whole shop who manned the till. She was overwhelmed by the number of queuing customers and also struggled with a refund. Two people left the queue without buying their products (with one muttering that this had been the second time he had tried to purchase something). After I had finally paid I encountered two staff coming from a backroom. I told the staff member coming towards me that the lady at the till needed help and was told in a surprisingly aggressive manner that this was not his problem and that the other staff member was on her way to the till. Surprised about his outburst I pointed out that as he wore a F&M polo shirt it was not unreasonable for me to address him and he answered again very rudely that he had nothing to do with the till. Needless to say he refused to provide me with his name. Will not buy there again.

Addendum: whilst I appreciate the quick response it seems written by a robot as it refers to an online purchase when my review was all about my instore experience! Says it all about how important ( not) the customer service is for Fortnum & Mason.

Dear SB, 

Thank you for updating your review. 

We are very sorry that our Trustpilot response felt impersonal and referred to an online purchase when your review concerned an in-store experience. Our request for customers to email us is based on a standard Trustpilot template, with amendments where appropriate, as many customers have order numbers connected to their visit to store also. However, we fully appreciate that your experience may relate solely to our store without order number.

Please email us, quoting Trustpilot reference #2349658, and mark your message for the attention of Ben in the Escalations Team. We assure you that your concerns will be carefully reviewed and investigated with the appropriate departments.

Hampers from Fortnum's

I’ve ordered a few hampers from Fortnum & Mason, including Christmas and birthday options, and they always feel truly special. The presentation is excellent, the contents are high quality, and they make a really impressive gift for any occasion.

The Christmas hampers are especially festive and thoughtfully put together, while the birthday hampers have that same luxury feel with a more personal touch. Everything arrives beautifully packaged, so it feels like a premium experience from start to finish.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend Fortnum & Mason if you want a hamper that feels elegant, generous, and memorable.
