useful information
Be prepared to have your wallet ready when you enter Fortnum & Mason, as quality and excellence comes at a price. If you have a sweet tooth, then there is plenty to tempt you to part with your cash! A personal preference is Fortnum & Mason butter fudge - always a winner.
The standard for quality and excellence can be seen in Fortnums with its three royal warrants (an impressive feat), evidence that it supplies a number of products directly to the Royal Family.
