Grocer to the Queen and most of her predecessors since 1707, this venerable institution has five private dining spaces. On the fourth floor, the Drawing Room is a light, airy space for up to 80, while the Tasting Room lends itself to lunches, dinners and afternoon teas. At lower-ground level, medieval stoneware and decorative panelling create an intimate atmosphere in the Crypt, which suits wine tastings and dinners. The Boardroom – the venue of choice for Fortnum’s own directors for more than a century – is a secluded space for meetings. The Gallery restaurant seats 100 and can be hired exclusively for private events.

May 2024What a magnificent display of produce. You can see why it's the royal grocer. Step in even if it's just to take in the ambience of the building. Its rooms are head to toe with such beautiful displays of products and artworks that you can't help but feel so posh and proper. A must visit! Xx

April 2024It's the nicest shop I've been to in London. Let's face it, it's a bit expensive. I always go there for their sauces. It offers not only food but also a varied selection of kitchen, cosmetics, care and home accessories. All the products are of top quality.

May 2024Wayyyyyyy overpriced for what you get. However it is a bit of a British institution so it is worth coming here just to see the displays on offer even if you do not buy anything. I would love to have partaken in afternoon tea but it was already sold out.

March 2024Worth seeing, but to buy something? Depending on your budget, it could be expensive if you are on a tight money schedule. Quality? Very good, we bought a box of English biscuits with an orange hint, very tasty. Price? More than 9.95£. Also, we purchased a medium size "drum" of rose tea. Nice smell and taste, but not sure it is worth the price of 19.95£. There are plenty of different teas, chocolates, biscuits, toffees, wines, and even coffee available to buy in bulk, bottle, or box. They have a restaurant, not sure about their services or prices, but on a Friday at noon time, it was very crowded.
