Y'all are soooooo cute. I really enjoyed this video. I have watched a lot of afternoon tea videos and y'all win hands down!! You really describe in detail what everything tastes like. I'm glad you showed us your shopping in the different departments. I am definitely going to order some of those teas and jams and have them shipped to me here in Texas. Thanks for sharing.
Aloha Bill & Lisa, Finally made to Fortnum & Mason for afternoon tea. What an experience! I ordered the savory my husband ordered the afternoon tea. Big mahalos for the recommendation. Oh yes, we did some shopping too.
Fortnum my favorite but also have done Brigit bus tea few times and others try Brigit bus so cute you see London as well get V.I P seats at front so good
Coronation chicken was invented for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1952. We still had rationing there, so this was about the most exotic thing that could be made with the ingredients available - chicken, mayo (eggs), curry powder and sultanas. We had so much curry powder that we began airlifting it to West Berlin during the blockade. The Germans invented a new dish using it - Currywurst (A sausage with curry sauce sprinkled with curry powder).
How very nice to enjoy afternoon tea with both of you! Your husband's eagerness to share a man's point of view is most appreciated. Thank you both 😊. Lady Bell
I really enjoyed this! I've been watching a few Afternoon Teas on you tube and came across yours. Well done - you offered a lot more in your review than others in terms of how you describe taste of products. Reviews of the F&M afternoon tea by others were good but you really described the experience and I like your camera angles! I don't know if it was luck for the time you were there, but the background noise during your stay was great, in videos made by others it is noisy. Usually videos have a lot of distracting background noises in all London locations because it is always a full house and there is chatting and live music. Your table didn't seem cramped by other tables either. I've just subscribed and will check out your others, especially the Harrods one you mention.
Thank you so much for the nice comment, Joanne. We really enjoyed both Afternoon Teas we've experienced. Thinking about trying Tiffany's Blue Box one of these days. Thanks for subscribing!
fortnums --- was the queens grocery store oddly /// never saw her in person - with a handbag and trolley but BP do get food supplies there.... guess its the kings grocers store now -- even not shopping worth a visit not cheap but its the fun experience .... my fav the cheesy organic oat biscuits for cheese and wine ... soft tasty buttery melt in your mouth with some wine and cheese yummy ... William Fortnum was a footman in the household of Queen Anne. The royal family's insistence on having new candles every night resulted in large amounts of half-used wax, which Fortnum promptly resold. Fortnum also had a side business as a grocer. He convinced his landlord, Hugh Mason, to be his associate, and they founded the first Fortnum & Mason store in Mason's small shop at St James's Market in 1707. In 1761 - st james has various royal residences - close to BP and fortnums .. William Fortnum's grandson Charles went into the service of Queen Charlotte, and the connection with the royal court led to an increase in business. Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented the Scotch egg, in 1738.[5][6] The store began to stock speciality items, namely ready-to-eat luxury meals such as poultry or game served in aspic jelly.[7] nice vid ---- well done ... /// seem like a nice couple unpretentious good for them .....
@@billandlisa ahhh ok 👍🏼 my Ohana and I are going to visit London for the first time next year and it’s overwhelming learning the tube lines and other transportation.
What an amazing place!! I love it all!!! Gosh I would need lots of cash there!! I want the pistachio bites, the millionaires shortbread, the pumpkin bread!!! All of it I tell you!!
I’m a big lemon curd and strawberry fan and will definitely order both! Lisa: It was also great running into you at Disneyland. Very gracious of you to chat for a bit. My best to Bill. Your Toisan Lew cousin.
Hi Cousin! Thanks for stopping by Tangoroa Terrance! It was also nice for Bill and I to meet your wife and daughter on Main Street the other night. You'll love the jams!!
I have always wanted to do this, I love the elegance of it...Everything looked amazing...Lisa and Bill, please give my Husband Ken, and I Joan a shout out for our 25th. Wedding Anniversary on October 3rd. Thanks so much........
It's always a surprise where you will be next. You keep us on our toes. LOL Glad you tried that place as I have been to the others in London. This seemed quite nice.
OMG! This is such a timely video. We're planning a trip to Europe next spring, and Harrods tea room is on the agenda, thanks to your video. You had us at "vegsn tea"!. Now we'll have to drop into F&M too. Our friend is expecting a baby a couple of months before we arrive and that Sparkling Tea sounds like just the right kind of bubbly for a new Mama. Lisa, I'm really loving your silver streaks! I stopped dyeing my hair a few years ago. I'm free and never going back.
Your tea strainer was awfully tarnished. Although I love the ceremony, I prefer when a “ teabag” is in the pot so you can remove it when the tea reaches the strength level of preference. I hope you two try a modern afternoon tea at Sketch or Ting. ❤
I love F&M! We bought the jar of honey with a piece of honeycomb in it as a souvenir b/c my husband loves honey. He enjoyed it! Apparently their honey is gathered from the bee hives on top of the Piccadilly store! I love to check out the discounted items (same at Harrods where one time I bought bags of chocolate for friends). Hello from S. Cal (Torrance Beach is my favorite beach btw). =)
Bill and Lisa - we love love, love, love your videos and as we are in Orange County we get to try your foodie recommendations. We just got back from a week in London ourselves (also went on Virgin Atlantic) and went to Fortnum and Mason but just to shop for tea and cookies. I did buy jam but I had to leave it behind as it was not TSA-compliant for our carry-on. Wish I had seen this video before we went. LOL.
So fun! My Mum was a Brit and since she’s been gone, all of us, girls in the family, go to a yearly tea near Mother’s Day. This one looked amazing, and I would love all of the shops. When we were little, our mom would bring us all the cute tins of candies and cookies from there when she would visit. And Lisa, your necklace is so pretty!
The afternoon tea looks amazing! I could probably stay there all day just shopping and eating. What a wonderful way to spend the day in London for a foodie. Love it!
@@billandlisa I can't remember if I saw it on TH-cam or Facebook but she did a nice job filming it it actually looks like a nice tea I believe she was in London
First time watching you guys, what a lovely warm and cosy video! Fortnum and Mason is one of my favourite stores and I’m looking forward to visiting again this December :)
O what a great afternoon! Everything looked fabdelicious. Enjoyed the store. Great description of all the finger sandwiches and drinks, teas and deserts. I have to say that the Summer cake looked devine. As always, a great trip to the UK. Thanks Soo much Bill and Lisa!💛🌊🌊🌊🎈
Fortnum and mason are in a different level when it comes to quality of food,some things are priced at mind boggling numbers but quality is of the best.
Loved the video. Excellent review. Thank you! 💗
Thanks for watching!
Last time I was there I forgot about the food court, but I went to the rooftop and had a drink or you can also have lunch up there too. It’s awesome.
Tyvm and yqw 🤗

Was für ein Tag Eure Videos sind toll. Ich wünsche euch noch viel Spaß in England. ❤❤
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Lindon. Seien Sie gespannt auf ein weiteres Video. Danke fürs Zusehen.
If you put the jam first it soaks into the scone. Yum.
Love how the two of you are equally comfortable at a Las Vegas Buffet as you are at fancy afternoon tea in London.
Love when you go to England! The afternoon tea looked delicious. Looking forward to the next one❤ safe travels
Thank you!
Looked yummy...glad you enjoyed your afternoon tea...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank you! You too!
Days a-dawning Bill and Lisa
Enjoy
Love the videos ❤
This was great! How did you get around London? The cabs?
Mostly walked or took the Tube.
@@billandlisa ahhh ok 👍🏼 my Ohana and I are going to visit London for the first time next year and it’s overwhelming learning the tube lines and other transportation.
I wish my mother was still alive..she would have loved everything about that store including the high tea.
Amazing afternoon tea and vlog of Fortnum and Mason. It's a beautiful department store. Nice alternative to Harrods.
I order the Christmas puddings for the holidays! We love F&M.
Nice!! 👍🏼
Everything looked wonderful looks like you had a great time the afternoon tea looked amazing ❤
We had a wonderful time! 🤗
Was it dill with the salmon?
Flavoring herb and spice.
What an amazing place!! I love it all!!! Gosh I would need lots of cash there!! I want the pistachio bites, the millionaires shortbread, the pumpkin bread!!! All of it I tell you!!
Fancy place for sure!! We love F&M!
im curious, which jam did you guys get that made you want to get more? haha
We love the strawberry jam! This time we brought back a 3 jar variety box. lol
@@billandlisa is there a strong difference in taste from the strawberry jam in america?
@@nyannet We only have Knotts or Smuckers to compare, and it just tastes more refined compared to those two.
@@billandlisa thank you for replying!
I just love watching you two! Hopefully I will run into you guys sometime..
Thanks so much!
Bucket list !
Lisa gave someone the evil eye at 6:10.
11:50 growing up in Vancouver BC, we always had milk n sugar in our English teas.
I’m a big lemon curd and strawberry fan and will definitely order both! Lisa: It was also great running into you at Disneyland. Very gracious of you to chat for a bit. My best to Bill. Your Toisan Lew cousin.
Hi Cousin! Thanks for stopping by Tangoroa Terrance! It was also nice for Bill and I to meet your wife and daughter on Main Street the other night. You'll love the jams!!
Looks good a bit noisy though
Love, love your Fortnum & Mason experience. Very beautiful wares, food and old fashioned service! Thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
I have always wanted to do this, I love the elegance of it...Everything looked amazing...Lisa and Bill, please give my Husband Ken, and I Joan a shout out for our 25th. Wedding Anniversary on October 3rd. Thanks so much........
Will do!! Look for it in 2-3 weeks. 👍🏼
I wear Roja perfume! ❤
Would hurt for the servers to crack a smile 😬…. Afternoon tea looks amazing
I wonder about their pay.
It's always a surprise where you will be next. You keep us on our toes. LOL Glad you tried that place as I have been to the others in London. This seemed quite nice.

Great one day trip to London. The afternoon tea looked delicious.
Good Morning Bill & Lisa Happy Wednesday 😊
Good morning, Christine! Happy Thursday! 😃
I don't understand why they call the parfum Roja when the bottles were blue. Isn't Roja red in spanish?
They are taking your eyes out! Better quality at much lower prices at Lidl and Aldi. Give them a go
I love F&M! We bought the jar of honey with a piece of honeycomb in it as a souvenir b/c my husband loves honey. He enjoyed it!

Oh man, that’s too bad about the jam. Hope you picked some up after security in the duty free or Harrods store. Thanks so much for watching!!
I’d really appreciated the shopping reviews… Thanks
Great Video 👍. I recommend tea at The Goring if you looking for another tea spot when in London.
Thanks for the tip!

Bill & Lisa, can you purchase items and have it shipped?
Or,can you order online and they ship to the USA?
We believe so. We've never ordered anything from them online.
7:58 you two are beautifully in tune with each other. Too often couples forget the love. Not here or with you.
Thanks Wil! 🤗
Tea service looks delicious, especially those finger sandwiches
Lisa , you rock ! Love the intro 😂
🤗
You need to do the Ritz for afternoon tea! You do have to pre book in advance though
The afternoon tea looks amazing!
I could probably stay there all day just shopping and eating.
What a wonderful way to spend the day in London for a foodie. Love it!
Amen
Hi Yvonne! Yes, one can easily spend the day exploring all the floors, so much to see!
F & M top notch! Pinkies out when drinking your tea Bill and Lisa 😂
For real! lol
You guys are amazing! Love your channel ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Now you know I can't eat sweets! Seeing you buy those yummy treats makes me jealous! tea time was excellent!!😊
Thank you, Winnie! 😋
Would love to see a video of the items you purchased at fortnum and Mason! Great video!😊
Next time you should try afternoon tea at Kensington Palace Gardens. It's a whole different ball game to have tea at an actual palace.
I saw a video where a girl did tea on a bus tour of London that looked pretty cool
We saw a website that offers that, but wondering how well we’ll be able to film that. lol
@@billandlisa I can't remember if I saw it on TH-cam or Facebook but she did a nice job filming it it actually looks like a nice tea I believe she was in London
Ñice place to bad the state does not have this food looks good 👌👌👌👌👌..

Everything was great! Really enjoyed our experience at F&M. Thank you!!
I'm not a tea drinker however, I could see myself trying this after watching your amazing experience!
Think you’ll love it! Neat to participate in such a time honored tradition. 🤗
Congrats on reaching 65 thousand subscribers! Thanks for your whirlwind trip to London. Can't go wrong with Fortnum and Mason.
Many thanks! 🤗

Agreed. Not your everyday department store.
