I'm now in the black cab because CityMapper told me it was actually a 3 minute walk from
Bank Station. It's not, so don't go to Bank on Walk. I suggest going to Charing Cross
or Piccadilly. Let's go to Fortnum & Mason's together. Royal Courts of Justice. Ooh, Tina
Turner at the theatre. We need to see that. We're at Fortnum & Mason. Have a good day
driver. Thank you. We're here guys. We're at Fortnum & Mason. Let's go inside.
orange, golden flowery, it's a bit golden. Royal Blend, Queen Anne, wedding breakfast,
Irish breakfast, Earl Grey Classic, Smoky Earl Grey, Countess Grey, Victoria Grey. Afternoon
Blend, Fortnum & Mason, chai, black tea with strawberry, black tea with peach, green tea
with elderflower, oolong, yellow, white, infusions. Hello. I'm good, how are you? I'm good, how
are you? Can I get some water for you? Yes please. Camomile, verbena, peppermint. I like
the sound of the Royal Blend because it tastes like honey. That's the beautiful turquoise
menu. Coronation chicken, egg mayo, ham and mustard, cucumber cream cheese, smoked trout
with dill, scones. That's the price. £75 per person. Tea cocktails. Ooh, everything
peachy sounds nice. Peach, ginger preserve and sparkling tea. They have hand soap and
lovely. I thoroughly enjoy the Royal Blend. I highly recommend that. How's your tea? It's
very nice, thank you. What does it taste like? Very weak tea, which is what I like.
Just so you know, everything on the stand is fresh on it. If you'd like more of anything,
think of the way that we can bring it out for you. Roses are clear, rhubarb crumble,
lemon loaf, apple loaf, circle of ice with white chocolate on the last one. Scones for
the plain, it comes with buttered cream, strawberry jam and lemon curd.
Let's try the first sandwich together.
Coronation chicken.
Mmm.
I love the flavours in this one. Yep. Coronation chicken. This one I recommend, the flavours
are so nice. Let's try the egg sandwich. I've never seen it with this orange sauce before.
Looks like it's got puffy bread. I've got the bread look tonight. Bought them a Mason's
egg and cress, no onion.
Mmm. I usually avoid egg sandwiches, but this is lovely.
The flavour profile is actually flavourful. If you go back and watch the Cutty Sark video,
theirs was extremely bland. This actually has flavour to it.
Let's try this gorgeous little sandwich. So cute. Cucumber sandwich.
Mmm. I'm such a lover of cucumber. It's refreshing, perfect for spring, summer.
It's creamy, it's so nice. Yes, I love this one.
Let's try the ham together.
Ham and mustard, this has to be a winner because it's so standard. We have ham and mustard
everywhere. I just hope this does not let me down. Let's try it together.
That is a quality, quality ham sandwich. That's gorgeous.
Let's try the last sandwich together. I'm very scared. It looks like smoked salmon.
I'm obsessed with smoked salmon, but trout scares me. I tried the trout, it was not for me.
It almost tasted like salmon, but not. So, yeah.
For me, I can't recommend this unless you're a lover of fish, then go for the trout.
Let's go on to the scones. That's the fruity scone. It's a cute little size, nice organic shape.
Let's find the natural breaking point. Yes, perfectly and in the centre.
That's what the cream's looking like. Oh, that looks gorgeous. Let's see how that spreads.
Oh, it's whipped perfectly. Look at that. I love lots and lashings of cream on the scones.
This is a special Fortnum & Mason strawberry jam, so you know that's going to be good.
Oh, it opens beautifully. Spread joy, Fortnum & Mason. I'm excited for this strawberry jelly,
strawberry jam, I mean. I like a tiny bit of jam. That's plenty of jam for me.
I can't wait to taste this. That is gorgeous. Look at that perfect little scone with cream and jam.
Let's try Fortnum & Mason scones, or scones, however you say it. Let's try it together.
That's perfection. I'm so excited.
It's so soft and crumbly. I feel like they've made this in-house. Fortnum & Mason, you win on the scones.
This is my favourite scones I've had, I think possibly ever. Very close to the Ritz scones.
It's perfectly crumbly and creamy and the jam is just gorgeous. Well done, Fortnum & Mason. Well done.
I'm going to try my mum's tea. This is the wedding blend. Let's try it together.
It tastes really strong. I think this was the bottom of her tea.
Yeah, it's quite nice.
I just noticed something randomly. This is a normal teaspoon. I'll show you what a jam spoon looks like.
It has these little rivets in it. It kind of looks like a spade. It would not work as a regular spoon, but for jam, it's perfect.
Perfect for scooping your jam onto your scones.
If you want the savoury option, we have these.
Are they egg or egg adjacent? We don't know what they are, but we encourage a glass of champagne to get the courage to try something new.
They're my new subscribers. Hi guys. Our favourite YouTube channel.
Let's try the first dessert together. This looks very Disney. If it was red, it would look like a poison apple.
I have no idea what this is about to taste like.
Let's try this little green apple together. It is fluorescent green on camera. I'm scared. I don't know what green is going to taste like.
It's like apple mousse. It's almost like apple crumble without the crumble.
Let's try this little cutie together.
It's sweet and creamy.
I'm not the biggest fan of rhubarb, but we'll give it a go.
It's very tart and very crumbly. If you're a rhubarb fan, you'll love this, but me personally, I'm not a rhubarb girl.
I have no idea what's in this ring. Let's try this together.
There's mousse in there. It's like ice cream with milk chocolate around it. I did not expect that.
It's delicious.
They brought us some extra cake. It's a chocolate tart and a gorgeous pink cake. Look how beautiful it is.
It's stunning.
It's amazing.
Let's try this gorgeous pink cake together. It looks amazing, guys.
Cheers.
Light and fluffy. It's been our pleasure.
Two classic afternoon teas, including service charge £168.75.
They just gave us these really cute Fortnum & Mason take-home boxes.
I'm going to take home some of the little desserts because it's quite a lot and there's no need to eat it all in one go.
I will take these home for a nice treat tonight, watching some Netflix, cake and chill.
I've put all the extra cakes in this special little box. That's it.
I'm going to leave behind my rhubarb crumble because I'm not a fan.
And trout sandwich, I'm not a huge fan either, but that's just personal taste.
They were done to perfection. I'm just not a fan of those flavours.
All this little box. Takeaway cake.
I've just had my Fortnum & Mason afternoon tea. It was absolutely exquisite.
Out of all the afternoon teas I've had, I would give them a solid 9 out of 10.
The scones were amazing. The cream, the jam, the little desserts were delightful.
The little apple one was very Disney. I loved it.
I did not consider the rhubarb to be one of my favourites.
I actually left that behind because I just can't bear the rhubarb.
But it was well done. If you're a rhubarb fan, you'll enjoy that.
And then the trout little finger thing. The trout sandwich was not for me. I'm not a trout girl.
I also left the trout sandwich behind.
It was just under £85 once the price goes up with the service charge.
Well worth it. Amazing experience.
Highly recommend Fortnum & Mason afternoon tea.
