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.

    • Meanwhile, I'm withdrawing my previous high appreciation.  Firstly there were my attempts three days ago to provide the detailed information they needed,  to enable the technical team to check a specific post in their log  and see the server responses.  I found myself as if going round in circles.   The bot eventually told me that it was Support I should be sending it to, rather than 'here in chat'.  I'd been following the links to the numbered Ticket throughout and had not even been aware I was in a different part of the building.   It was beginning to feel as if I was being gaslighted so I just gave up, and went off to educate myself on the latest requirements the biggies such as Gmail require in ther DNS security information.  I've long had an SPF record, and it's now clear that I should be ready to install at least a DMARC, and preferably a DKIM one too, in my domain's DNS record.  I'd not noticed any recent problem before the migration, so had assumed (but haven't yet checked) that Plusnet have been inserting their own secure identity confirmation items, for known subscribers like me who use their mail relay to send email as from their personal domain.   Anyway, I've just  had another try at giving the bot the required information, and that seems to have succeeded, so I'll see wait to see what the Greenby techs say about it all. On top of that, yesterday evening I was searching for a really important email which I had to reply to,  which I'd purposely put in a separate Plusnet webmail folder.  I found that all my added folders there were empty, just as in Vladi's reports, which I'm immensely glad  of.  Knowledge of his experience and a fairly quick and successful resort  to his strategy worked for me too and helped ratchet down my alarm, which was present even despite the knowledge that somewhere I should be able to find another copy of the file. It could have been otherwise.  A system fault like that, unreported and left uncorrected, could potentially contribute to doing people real harm.  I remember two years ago, a single instant of deep fear, on hearing something on the radio about the dire legal effect that could result from an inaction similar to one of my own, that was immediately followed by a slight oddity in my hearing in one ear.  I connected the two and measured my BP for a period shortly after.  That more or less confirmed that there'd been a marked jag in my BP, occasioned by the moment of fear, that gradually declined.   Two or three days later I woke up with a severe  hearing loss in that ear.  That led to a referral to an ENT consultant, but by the time that arrived the loss had thankfully been more or less reversed.
