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.

    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
