Fortnum & Mason

On the third floor of the Piccadilly flagship at 181 Piccadilly, a two minute walk from Green Park station, Fortnum and Mason's Food and Drink Studio brings the store's grocery heritage into a purpose built space for genuinely hands on events.

The studio doubles as a working production kitchen, where more than a hundred Fortnum's chefs create and test recipes for the shop floor below, from Scotch eggs to beef Wellington, giving hosted events a real sense of being backstage rather than simply catered for.

The space seats up to 24 for a private dinner or masterclass, holds up to 24 in theatre style and up to 45 for a standing reception, with full broadcast and streaming capabilities for chef's tables, supper clubs, tastings and live cooking demonstrations.

Guests can also visit the on site distillery, complete with its own copper vacuum still, to create a personalised small batch Fortnum's gin as part of the day.

An in house alcohol licence running until midnight and full accessibility, including a lift to every floor, keep the practical side simple.

For corporate clients and private hosts who want a Fortnum and Mason event with real substance behind it, the Food and Drink Studio delivers exactly that.
