Gilly's café (G Chu Catering Ltd)

Gilly's cafe, Nailsea offers new weekly specials menu

“ Popped into Gilly's cafe at lunchtime and it was really a delight with its new decor. Got fed-up with boil-in-the-microwave curries and/or raw fat chips we have experienced in other local fast food joints of late. My husband and I chose from the 'special' menu of homemade meatballs with Italian-style spaghetti, pork and apple casserole, tuna and sweetcorn pasta bake, walnut with pear and stilton quiche, steak and onion ciabatta roll with side salad and chips. I had quiche with salad, he had spaghetti. I don't know what the other diners thought but we actually were making appreciative 'umm' noises as we ate! We licked the platter clean. The specials are offered on a weekly basis with a new menu every Monday. Gilly told us she has a new supplier for her bakery fresh bread and since the Portishead patisserie closed was having a go at making her own Danish pastries. The sample of a flaky pastry apple strudel we tried was delicious. Gilly is definitely one of the best cooks in Nailsea. For a small surcharge credit cards are now accepted at the High Street cafe. Our bill with coffee came to£14.94 as I qualified for a discount as a Nailsea worker! Only thing I don't like about the cafe are all the handwritten notices telling me what or what not to do. Still not sure if I find my own table, if I'm allowed to sit at a table for four if there are only two of us, when or where I pay and I find the finger pointing to the loos a bit 'up yours', sorry. ”
