" The buzz Last November, the genius artisan bakers at Gail&#146;s Bakery decided that they wanted to bring even more of their delicious food to the masses with a new restaurant outlet, and Gail&#146;s Kitchen was born. Based around their piece de resistance &#150; the bread oven &#150; the restaurant serves everything fresh, doughy and warm, exactly the way we like it. The lowdown While Gail&#146;s Kitchen is self-confessedly more grown-up than it&#146;s Gail&#146;s Bakery counterparts, it is still thoroughly Gail&#146;s at heart. From menu classics fresh from the bakery, including sourdough soldiers and brioche (used in the very naughty but oh-so-moreish ice cream sandwich) to the low-key, relaxed d\u00E9cor, this is the bakery experience with a little added class, making it the perfect refuge from the snow on a particularly blustery day. Perfect for&#133; Trying new things. If you&#146;ve got an adventurous palate, you&#146;re in luck, as the concept of the menu is based around small plates to nibble at. Start your meal with a few snacks, including baked olives (fresh from the oven!) and polenta chips drizzled in hot gorgonzola (a revelation!) before moving on to the big guns, namely fish, meat or veggie dishes, often with bread accompaniment. If you&#146;re feeling game, the desserts menu is also worth a serious gander &#150; especially if you&#146;re that way inclined (we are) &#150; with baked goods galore ready to tempt your sweet tooth. Menu highlights The aforementioned polenta chips were a real joy (we were advised to try them by our seemingly telepathic waitress) with the hot gorgonzola sauce melting in our mouths. We opted for fish for our main fare, with the smoked mackerel rillettes and smoked prawns providing a delicious counterpart to our rich fromage starter, and settled on the pizza Bianca served with violet artichokes, Parma ham and burrata for our shared dish &#150; which nearly resulted in a squabble as we both found it so delicious. That said, the other dishes all looked equally as palate-pleasing, with our neighbours voicing their enjoyment of the spinach rotolo with ricotta and wild mushrooms. Final words Gail&#146;s Kitchen was the perfect lunchtime retreat, offering that rare balance of impressive, adventurous cuisine with a warm, home-cooked feel.
