The forecast calls for iced drinks.
Whether you’re stopping by for a Plum Matcha, a Black Sesame or a Tiramisu Cold Brew, we’ve got something cold waiting for you.
Perfect for warm walks, sunny lunch breaks and finding a shady spot for a few quiet minutes.

When it gets this hot, a shaded spot and something cold to drink is all you really need. We have hidden garden spaces at many our bakeries: tucked-away spots where you can slow down, have lunch, or just chill for a while.
We’ve got shaded tables at many of our bakeries, but here are some of our favourite spots: Ely, Godalming, Radlett, Marlow, Hitchin, St Margarets, Victoria Park, Summertown, Mill Hill, Clifton Road, and Clapham Old Town.
Lunch al fresco could be a lovely way to treat your dad too, if you’re celebrating Father’s Day this weekend.

On Wednesday, we welcomed friends to our home in Camden to celebrate our new Summer Menu.
A long colourful table took over our local square, where we served huge platters of summertime salads, bright cocktails and seasonal cakes and our artist in residence brought to life the table with her beautiful drawings.
People talked long into the evening, rekindling old connections and making new ones. It finally feels like summer is here. We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering.

A summer table, shared properly.
This week’s preview brought together friends of GAIL’s for an evening of live music, seasonal dishes and drawings by Emma Cantley. There’s something special about gathering outdoors in summer. Passing plates, pouring another glass, making room for one more person. The small rituals that turn food into connection.
Thank you for spending the evening with us.

We pour a lot of love and work into our previews. Behind the scenes and long before the evening, we’re cooking, prepping, flower arranging, table setting, drawing, drink filling and of course, weather checking.
Here’s a sneak peek at our process.
