Hitchin: First look as GAIL's bakery welcomes customers

GAIL's moved into 16 Bancroft - which has stood empty since Monsoon closed - with the impressive makeover creating a bright and airy space.

With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, customers went along to see what the new bakery was all about on a busy opening day.

Offering plenty of sweet and savoury pastries, sandwiches, cakes and coffee, GAIL's look set to be popular with Hitchin residents.

The chain has long been a hit with customers since opening its first bakery in London back in 2005.

GAIL's now has over 100 branches and is showing no signs of slowing down - announcing plans earlier this year to keep expanding.
