A bakery chain has opened its new café.
Gail’s in Worthing was packed with hungry customers on its opening day on Thursday.
The unit, in Warwick Street, was formerly home to MasterChef winner Kenny Tutt’s now-defunct Pitch restaurant, which closed in July last year due to “current economic struggles”.
The closure came only a few months after the restaurateur closed his other Worthing restaurant Bayside Social on April 15 due to rising costs and the “long-lasting effects of Covid” on restaurants.
Last year, a statement of affairs filed by Pitch Foods Ltd showed the business went into liquidation owing more than £1 million.
Gail’s has bakeries in Church Road, Hove, Seven Dials, Brighton, North Road, Brighton, Carfax, Horsham and High Street, Lewes.
The branch at Seven Dials opened earlier this year and took the place of pop-up wine bar Night Shift which filled the space temporarily after the Small Batch Coffee Roasters closed last March.
Lewes’s first branch also opened in what was the Natwest bank on the corner of Friars Walk. The site had been empty since January last year.
The company sells a range of sweet and savoury pastries, sandwiches, cakes and bread.
