GAIL's, the neighbourhood craft bakery has announced the "exciting news" that it will open a new bakery in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Customers will be welcomed to High Street eatery for the first time on Tuesday 17 September.

GAIL's said the bakery will "pay homage" to Stratford-Upon-Avon's Tudor heritage in its design by using solid oak columns and terracotta-toned herringbone tiles to tie in with the town's "16^th century character and charm".

GAIL's was started by Yael (Gail) Mejia in the early 1990's serving top chefs and food venues in London.

In 2003, Tom Molnar and a few friends joined Yael's premium wholesale craft bakery and grew the business by opening modern neighbourhood craft bakeries that bring communities together to enjoy chef-quality baking.

The first GAIL's bakery opened in 2005 in Hampstead, serving fresh, handmade bread, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and cakes, alongside their carefully sourced house blend speciality coffee and barista made drink range

"The new opening demonstrates GAIL's ongoing commitment to making world-class, craft baking a part of every neighbourhood which has seen it open in 125 neighbourhoods across UK including London, Cambridge and across to Oxford, Brighton and Manchester," the company said.
