"A box of delicious mince pies, this is the can’t-go-wrong hostess gift of the season."

Angelica Malin

"Mince pies are back – loaded with spiced fruit, encased in buttery pastry and topped with a snow-like sprinkling of icing sugar, these are some of the best mince pies you’ll ever try."

TNT Magazine

"This bakery in Hampstead Village produces pies that taste like they’re just out the oven. Enjoy the neighbourhood atmosphere created by these self-proclaimed “bread purists”."

Felicity Spector

"The mince pies at Gail’s Bakery are little parcels of delight. Not too big, excellent pastry, perfect with a big mug of coffee at any time of the day."

Victoria Stewart

"London's best mince pies: Gail’s Artisan Bakery - A good all-rounder — small but prettily formed, plenty of fruit which doesn’t spew out through the lid and with a sugary top."

Rebecca Heslop

"The golden, buttery pastry is spot on. Sold in small boxes, and neatly wrapped, they are beautifully presented yet still look homemade. A good all-rounder."

William Axtell

"The special touch to these pies it the sour cream used in the pastry, making it very rich and crumbly. The mincemeat is also high-class, made in August and fed with brandy the following months."

Joanne Gould

"Many believe GAIL'S to be at the top of the mince pie game and it is true that this little bake was very delicious indeed. The pastry was very light, soft and crumbly and it had been packed full to the brim with mincemeat."

Emily Scrivener

"Loaded with spiced fruit and encased in buttery pastry topped with a snow-like sprinkling of icing sugar, its mince pies are the ultimate offering at Christmas parties or a welcome addition to afternoon tea."
