      Hey Saintcot, yes my mum did enjoy it thanks. We went to the food hall and bought her some of the Rachel cheese that was in the sandwiches she loved.

      I had Tea there a few years ago. I found the lamps on the tables were all dirty. I wrote to them but no response. We got sandwiches to take home.
      However, I found it unpalatable for her to be opening up the sandwiches. That was a turn off while watching your video.
      I think that F&M catering to the tourist coming in shirts and grungy clothes maybe the reason why the standard is not befitting of this once famous Tea Room.
      Yes it's expensive. I would not go there for tea again when next I visit London.

      @patriciaedwards5834 We do like Fortnum & Mason, we usually enjoy it here and did consider it the best afternoon tea around.
      However, on this occasion, it did not meet the standards that we are used to from this establishment.
      We usually open some sandwiches in order to show viewers what they can expect in the amount of filling and how pleasant/unpleasant these look. This is our style to give a full all-round review. However, I can appreciate this may not be to everyone's taste.
      If dress code is something that is important to you, maybe the Ritz is one that you might consider on your next visit to London. They too are expensive, we have been there a few times and while the dress code is strict and not 'catering to the tourist coming in shirts and grungy clothes' the Ritz with it's traditional afternoon tea may be more suited to your dress code expectations.

    Happy Birthday to your mom. I enjoyed your video. Hoping one day to try afternoon tea. Not as common here in the US

      Thank you 😊
      I wonder if one or two larger chain hotels in the US does afternoon tea?
      I remember in Las Vegas they did one, and there was one place in Disney World that did one, which they might be bringing back soon.
      I feel the UK pavilion in Epcot have missed a real trick not offering afternoon tea, maybe one day they'll do that.
      I hope you get to try it one day🤗

    Pea 🫛 and Cucumber 🥒 never heard of that in my life! I imagine it's rather delicious ❤

      Not for me, but Mark and my mum really enjoyed them.
      Cucumber is definitely not my thing 😂

      @MarkandKellys I was shocked at that to be honest 😂 never known anyone not to like a fresh refreshing juicy cucumber 😋

      @MarkandKellys  20 дней назад

      @airspeed_alive I've never liked the taste, it's too watery and has a strong flavour at the same time

    Rather cheeky that F&M no longer serve a slice of cake. The last time I had afternoon tea (years ago) I realised I had just eaten a carb heavy meal, particularly sugar. That was the last time I had afternoon tea. If the price is right I might try again, but not for £80. Thanks for sharing.

    • @MarkandKellys
      @MarkandKellys  23 дня назад

      @shadowguard3578 The cost for Afternoon Tea these days is very high. We're not sure why, we just thought on this occasion that the service at F&M and sandwiches, amongst other things, did not match the high price, and without the slice of cake, we weren't sure why there was such an increase in fee for diminished fare.
      There are other Afternoon Teas to try. You should definitely go again.
      It's such a nice experience when you find the right one😊

    If you like flavoured black tea, I highly recommend Basilur. If you have a standard 1l teapot I find the best brewing is 1 teabag of Basil ur tea and 3 bags of Yorkshire red, pour water on a rolling boil, steep for 3 minutes, remove bag. That makes a strong brew. Delicious.

    • @MarkandKellys
      @MarkandKellys  26 дней назад

      Oooo one tea bag of basil, that is interesting, can I use fresh or dried basil rather than a tea bag?

    • @zeideerskine3462
      @zeideerskine3462 26 дней назад +1

      @@MarkandKellys I was recommending Basilur (a Ceylon black tea brand) but suspecting you may have Indian food appreciation, fresh Holy Basil, Cinnamon Basil, or Lemon Basil that you can grow in a flower pot on your window sill are amazing brewed with black or green tea. I would put any extra in a bag and freeze them for the winter. Basil tea is absolutely fabulous with Indian food and a panacea in Ayurvedic medicine.

      @MarkandKellys  26 дней назад

      @zeideerskine3462 Thank you, that's so kind.
      We do love Indian food, Mark more than me, I think 😊
      I would love to try authentic chai tea. Friends that I've made over the years always promise me they will make/bring me some, but to this day, I've still not tried any.
      I'm sure I'll get to try some in the near future 🤗

    I had High Tea at F&M a few years ago. The food was very good. I had the Vegetarian because of my egg allergy. There was no mayo on my sandwiches.
    I found it turn off because the cute peach lampshades were all dirty. I wrote to them..Never got a reply.
    I must say I found it cringe worthy for her to be opening up the sandwiches. It just seemed awful, even if you are doing a video it just seemed "nasty".
