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

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Mckenzieharrs]

Love how the two of you are equally comfortable at a Las Vegas Buffet as you are at fancy afternoon tea in London.

[@bettyzipkin7129]

Amazing afternoon tea and vlog of Fortnum and Mason. It's a beautiful department store. Nice alternative to Harrods.

[@lisaplanty]

My favourite store ever in London I ship all my tea from there to Canada🇨🇦

[@mikeymike1854]

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.

[@billandlisa]

Agreed. Not your everyday department store.

[@yvonneacosta2539]

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!

[@irishgip71]

Amen

[@billandlisa]

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@jeanmariereed1646]

Thank you for taking us to this beautiful tea with you. I was not familiar with Fortnum & Mason so it was especially nice to learn about it. They also have such beautiful packaging too! Hoping we may be able to purchase some of their jams on line in the future. They sound delicious! Once again, such fun content to enjoy!

[@billandlisa]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@andyonions7864]

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).

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the info!

[@gailsiangco5599]

Awesome Afternoon Tea ! Mahalo for sharing !

[@deannazampa5286]

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!

[@billandlisa]

Very nice! Thank you so much!

[@kj8645]

Quite a good price for ceramic canisters for the Stilton & honey...love F&M, such quality food items & much, much more...

[@annetteharvey4299]

I wish my mother was still alive..she would have loved everything about that store including the high tea.

[@edwinrodeo]

Thank you . Another great video, everything looks delicious 😋

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching!

[@irishgip71]

7:58 you two are beautifully in tune with each other. Too often couples forget the love. Not here or with you.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Wil! 🤗

[@davidkost418]

Spendy tea! Whoa

Our pleasure! Cheers!

[@berniegolden1853]

Omgee I’m in bed watching you enjoy this tea time🤪🤪🤪

[@angelazuspan6302]

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.

[@user-um6lz9hg3r]

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.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much!! You’ll love F&M’s jams and teas!

[@dianagroppa8971]

I was there June 2019. Loooved that place 😊

[@marilynwelther5823]

Enjoyed seeing you both enjoy the tea 🫖 ☕️

[@JimmyVYouTube]

Days a-dawning Bill and Lisa

[@markhockaday3555]

Fortnum & Mason used to provide a lot of food for the Queen. They were her favourite brand for a lot of her food/tea. If you can, try the Ritz for the ultimate afternoon tea. It’s fabulous. But there is a strict dress code.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the rec.

[@nt0334]

Goals. You two are so adorable ❤

[@suzanneschulz7456]

Was für ein Tag Eure Videos sind toll. Ich wünsche euch noch viel Spaß in England. ❤❤

[@billandlisa]

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Lindon. Seien Sie gespannt auf ein weiteres Video. Danke fürs Zusehen.

Can't wait to see the next adventure. It'll be my birthday on the 4th. I still Have no plans so I'll just travel virtually with you all and my other favorite Norma Geli. Might live it up next week and add cheese to a burger haha. Have a good one

[@melaneymattson3733]

Lisa, gotta say it again, your necklace is so beautiful and it sparkles so pretty on the camera!! Got it in Milan?

[@billandlisa]

Thank you! Yes, got it from Swarovski in Milan.

[@Christine_1075]

Good Morning Bill & Lisa Happy Wednesday 😊

[@Annie.artist]

They are taking your eyes out! Better quality at much lower prices at Lidl and Aldi. Give them a go

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

I’d really appreciated the shopping reviews… Thanks

[@celiadileone2841]

Love when you go to England! The afternoon tea looked delicious. Looking forward to the next one❤ safe travels

I order the Christmas puddings for the holidays! We love F&M.

[@billandlisa]

Nice!! 👍🏼

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

Lisa , you rock ! Love the intro 😂

[@billandlisa]

🤗

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

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.

[@billandlisa]

Glad it was helpful! Sparkling Tea was so good and will make a great gift. Lisa's embracing the silver streaks!

[@surfingtheoceanoftheinterwebs]

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). =)

[@billandlisa]

Oh wow! Those honeycomb honeys were pretty cool.

[@debbiec6854]

Bucket list !

[@racheljoy720]

Would love to see a video of the items you purchased at fortnum and Mason! Great video!😊

[@marleneyoung6575]

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.

[@billandlisa]

Very nice indeed. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@beverlyherbert6952]

Another great video!! The department store looked fun to look around in. The food and tea looked cute. Different style of eating. 😊😊😊 glad to see another side of the world with you guys!!!!❤❤❤ keep having fun!!!😊😊😊

Thank you, Beverly! Always so much fun to experience other cultures and their foods. 😋👍🏼

Great Video 👍. I recommend tea at The Goring if you looking for another tea spot when in London.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the tip!

[@margaretcarr2268]

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.

[@billandlisa]

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!!

[@rohashimoto2774]

If you put the jam first it soaks into the scone. Yum.

[@denniswhite1399]

Always stock up my favorite tea at Fortnums

[@billandlisa]

We got a variety tea pack. =)

[@denniswhite1399]

@@billandlisa Fortnum is my preferred tea I buy loads but if not in London buy masses at Harney and son

[@CityConnect-nu6rr]

Great video

[@winniepoohbear8916]

Now you know I can't eat sweets! Seeing you buy those yummy treats makes me jealous! tea time was excellent!!😊

[@billandlisa]

Thank you, Winnie! 😋

[@electrckdjay]

I'm going here this summer with my friends. Missing both of you! Glad to see that you both are doing well :D

[@billandlisa]

Doing great! Thanks for popping in! Have a great time in London!!

Enjoyed the High Tea description in an English tongue (your waiter’s English voice).

[@atlantafoodstar]

Enjoy Love the videos ❤

I don’t know if you guys like Indian food but a stone’s throw from Harrod’s in Kensington is Khan’s. My favorite Indian food place in the world.

[@zachUK]

F&N wins every time. The very best of UK food.

[@lisapintorTravelGirl]

I'm not a tea drinker however, I could see myself trying this after watching your amazing experience!

[@billandlisa]

Think you’ll love it! Neat to participate in such a time honored tradition. 🤗

I wear Roja perfume! ❤

[@tonyadeney1245]

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 .....

[@phebekuo8273]

[@billandlisa]

Go for it and have fun!!

[@ingevandam719]

Hello Bill & Lisa, I enjoyed your video again. It all looked delicious and to be honest, I would pay the money to taste it all. I think Lisa's necklace is great and have seen it before, Is it Swarovsky or something else, it looks great on her, kind regards from the Netherlands🥰🥰🥰

[@billandlisa]

Hello Inge! Agreed, it was worth it to us to experience F&M’s Afternoon Tea. Yes, it’s from Swarovski. Lisa got it when we were in Milan. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@sunnyshine2215]

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 :)

[@afoodlover]

As a foodie, that's one of the many things I love in other countries, those self serv food displays in the dept store looked amazing. People in the states especially karen would be complaining about food safety hahahaha
