Gails Artisan Bakery

Recommended Posts

I recently bought some bread and dips from Gail's Bakery in Dulwich village.

I had been looking forward to trying the food from this bakery but was really disappointed.

The bread was rather tough and the hummus had far too much lemon in and tasted more like lemon curd than hummus!

The mackerel dip was a little better but I don't think I will be going there again.

And it is very expensive.

Sorry Gail's you don't get my vote.

But it was packed out so maybe I am alone in my views!

I went to Gail's for the first time, I brought a salad which I took to the park, when I opened it I found there was some added protein in the form of a caterpillar!

I did get a refund and an apology, but one member of staff laughed and asked if I named him!


I will to be rushing back..

I've been into Gails twice, to buy cinnamon buns, which are delicious BUT am completely put off by the pile of pastries and cakes stacked on the display stand just inside the door. I've seen a little girl flick her long hair over the cakes(yuk)and watched another kid stick his tongue out to have a sneaky taste(double yuk).

I now go to the Blackbird Bakery where at least the edibles haven't been sneezed on and are delicious too.

I had the same experience - very dry, tasteless and expensive (?1.60) baguette - can't help that the bread is displayed in the front window, in direct sunlight most of the day (amazing the number of places that do this). Also still not convinced by the self-service model in a lot of food shops these days, especially from a hygiene perspective.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
