Westfield Stratford City is about to get even tastier: in addition to its existing food and retail offerings, the centre will welcome two major newcomers — GAIL’s bakery and Bill’s restaurant — as part of a refreshed push to boost its dining and leisure appeal.
What to expect
- GAIL’s is slated to open a 3,100 sq ft bakery next year, offering freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes - plus specialty coffee - to shoppers and local residents.
- Bill’s will bring a full-service casual dining experience, occupying a 5,371 sq ft restaurant spot. It’s among the chain’s larger formats - a strong sign they’re betting big on Stratford.
Why this matters
For Westfield Stratford City, adding GAIL’s and Bill’s is part of a broader shift: food and drink is no longer just a convenience for shoppers, but a core part of the experience that drives footfall, dwell time, and positions the centre as a place to socialise - not just shop.
For local visitors and East-Londoners, it means new options: whether you’re after a pastry and coffee to start the day with, or a relaxed sit-down meal with friends or family.
