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.

Product was near its expiration date

I received a product (cookies) that was nearing its expiration date—August 2026—and I received them in July 2026. I contacted customer support, but they simply wrote "we're sorry" and stopped responding to my messages; there was no compensation, nothing... I am disappointed.

Hamper processes failed

I ordered the champagne celebration hamper and I must admit it was an interesting experience.

I did not get an update on delivery therefore I was not in when the hamper arrived, which caused quite a lot of stress that I did not need at the time. Apparently, I was meant to get a notification but the process failed. I had even tried reaching out to Fortnum and Mason on the morning of the delivery to understand when the package would arrive, but the people I talked to on the phone could not tell me and the next thing I know I had a phone call saying the package was outside (I was not in).

Further to this the cheese platter was missing from my hamper when it was delivered and I felt the internal packaging was not good enough as the food was all over the place.

I think you expect a premium product which I’m just not convinced this is. Now I love Fortnum and Mason and will continue to use them (in shop only) however not for hampers, as I think they just don’t seem to get it. I’m actually sad to be given them such a low score.

Edit: order number was #WEB013914336. Just realised didn’t get the ‘thins’/crackers either!

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. Ref WEB013962303 and still no phone back as was promised!
