Quite out of date[edit]

- The Gentlemen's department is now on the First Floor (since 2020) - Does not mention the current CEO Tom Athron - It has also phased out the sale of foie gras - Fortnum's is now self-operated in Hong Kong, Big Cat Group helped them launch it but are no longer involved — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:F07C:7900:85F2:E251:AFDC:6B98 (talk) 11:02, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ad template[edit]

Reads like an ad, and contains a number of unsourced, exceptionally pompous opinions - Forts is no longer the preserve of the 'upper classes', it's not the Royal Family's favourite shop, and footmen don't deliver your £35 Xmas hamper with a coach and four. *Badly* needs a rewrite.

There's a recipe for it in this 1844 book http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7fMpAAAAYAAJ&dq=‘A+New+System+of+Domestic+Cookery’&source=gbs_navlinks_s that rumour comes from the fact they supplied scotch eggs and other things. see the 1851 tab [1] What they did do was something called birds nest http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2007/03/grocers-to-royalty.html 195.69.214.12 (talk) 20:40, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Logo[edit]

The logo at the top of the information box was changed this morning, with an edit summary identifying it as a "new" logo. Although I've seen this logo and a similar one occasionally in use, F&M's products still are largely branded with the previous gold logo. Even a cursory glance through the food halls pages on the website shows sizable quantities of food products for Easter branded with the gold logo or with a variation in gold without the clock. I can't find use of the black logo aside from on one product. Consequently, I've reverted the addition of the new logo, and requested a source verifying that this black logo is, indeed, the new (and primary) one in use. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Drmargi The new logo is on the top of our website, on all NEW products, on all bags when you come in store. I work here. The gold logo still appears with only "EST 1707" on new products. The logo currently on the wikipedia page shows "PICCADILLY SINCE 1707" with our clock icon behind the text which only appears on old products. Please can you revert back to the logo I requested it to be change to. Happy to give you further confirmation of use of the new logo. Thank you --lamib (talk) 17.20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
