Gilda - Kent Bakery — Restaurant in Canterbury

I can't express what an incredible experience we had with Gilda's Bakery, and I apologise for the delay in writing this review!

After our wedding at a local venue, we requested Gilda's to cater and deliver breakfast pastries the next morning. They were more than happy to oblige. Peter, who was an absolute delight to meet (even while we were a bit hungover), delivered the pastries promptly in the morning, and we were visually blown away by what we received!

My sourdough starter has been fed and I look forward to continuing my...

This place was busy at 9am on Sunday which indicates how popular it is and it's a lovely place to spend a few hours. There are some beautiful walks as well so you could make a few hours of it then treat yourself to a lovely breakfast and a...
