Al Desko: Gail's poached chicken and herb aioli

What? Gail’s poached chicken and herb aioli

Where from? £3.95/eat out, £4.75/eat in. Gail’s branches across London (gailsbread.co.uk).

Taste assessment: This bun sure has a lot packed into it. The bun itself is sweet and springy — Gail’s has a new recipe for milk buns that uses lots of double cream — and is dotted with poppy and sesame seeds, so it’s sort of like an upmarket burger bap. Inside there is soft and tender poached chicken touched with homemade herb aioli (flavoured with garlic, basil, parsley and chives) and rocket. It’s easy to get a sandwich wrong but the bread to filling ratio is just right. Also, it doesn’t spray out over your keyboard, so it’s a good one for lunch.
