about us

Founded in 1707, Fortnum & Mason has stood at the heart of British culinary excellence for over three centuries. What began as a small grocery store in London has grown into a cherished destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life—without ever losing the spirit of curiosity, craftsmanship, and generosity that defined us from the start. We believe food and drink should be a source of joy, discovery, and connection. From our legendary hampers and award-winning teas to our seasonal delicacies and thoughtfully curated gifts, every item we offer reflects a deep respect for tradition, quality, and taste. Our buyers travel the world in search of the best ingredients, while our chefs and artisans craft creations that honor time-honored techniques with a modern sensibility. More than just a store, Fortnum’s is a place where stories unfold—whether it’s a quiet moment with a perfect cup of tea, a celebration marked by a beautifully wrapped gift, or the shared delight of a festive table. We’re proud of our heritage, inspired by the seasons, and always looking ahead with a sense of wonder. Welcome to Fortnum’s—where every day is a delicious adventure.
