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.

It would have been no stars if there…

It would have been no stars if there was an option. I genuinely thought I would give F&M another go but sadly let down again. Today was my nephew’s 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary. I specified, and paid extra, for a delivery today but absolutely nothing delivered. Called Customer Service who said they would send another tomorrow. I explained that my nephew might be working and it is not TODAY, his Silver wedding anniversary! The caller was trying to blame DPD but said she would definitely get a F&M Manager to call me tonight. Yes, you have guessed it, no call. I am writing this now as I guess it will be me chasing tomorrow. F&M’s promises are not false and more than disappointing.

Great place for a special gift!

I visited the online store looking for a special 50th Birthday gift. However, I couldn't decide, so I purchased a gift card instead. It arrived quickly and very well packaged. I'm very impressed with the ease of navigating the site, ease of purchased and delivery. I would recommend Fortnum and Masonsl's online store.

I am a great fan and advocate of Fortnum & Mason and have been for many many years.
However, the AI system that is currently being utilised to 'help' with online ordering & queries I found to be nothing short of diabolical, frustrating and ignorant!!

I can only assume that it did not send any of my messages of request to a human chain that could actually help. I wanted to order some Rose petal jelly for my mother's 90th birthday. It was out of stock and indicated that I could be sent a message when it was back in stock by pressing button below. The button did not work. I was forced to use the AI help bot. It did not help at all. It merely made other suggestions for Rose related products and asked if it could help me further!!
I sent an email instead and guess what?!... I got an AI response with all the same information and never a touch of a human response at all.

As Luck would have it, 2 days before the birthday I decided to check online again ... and there was the jelly in stock!
I proceeded to order 2 jars of it, another one including prosecco, 2 packets of tea and 2 bars of soap. This order went through perfectly, just as with past orders and with all the 'grace & favour' I expect from F&M. The parcel arriving 2 days after the birthday just served to prolong the celebrations so it wasn't a big problem.
Imagine what this review would have been like had AI not been involved --- or indeed if it had just done as requested and been able to inform me when the stock was replenished. If only that button had worked!!
I had spent around 90 minutes that I did not have at about 2am with the initial, totally unsuccessful and stressful search & request. The final search & placement of order took around 20 - 30 minutes.

I cannot believe I am only giving a one star rating ... and it is only because of the AI involvement --- without that it would be 5 star!
Please review and either boot off or finely tune your currently rubbish robot!!

The product broke

The way the crockery was packed, with the pieces placed directly against each other, caused several items to break.
