Every GAIL's item measured against the UK daily guidelines for you or your child. Pick what matters to you and the menu re-sorts, so the better choices come first.
Each dot is one item. The UK government’s 400-600-600 guidance suggests about 600 kcal for lunch or dinner, so anything past the line is more than a whole meal on its own.

Every item on the GAIL's UK menu, measured against what a specific person actually needs in a day rather than an adult average.
Free sugar, separated from the rest. NHS daily limits apply only to free sugars and exclude the sugars naturally present in milk. A regular latte with whole milk has about 13g of sugar and almost none of it counts. A Pain aux Raisins has 22g and all of it does.
Every figure set against an age. A Sausage Roll is 53% of the daily salt limit for a 4 to 6 year old and 27% of an adult's. An Almond Croissant is 58% of a young child's daily energy. Same item, different answer, and the label only ever gives you the adult one.
GAIL's publishes calories, macros and allergens for its food but not ingredient lists, and UK law does not require them for food sold loose or made to order. That means no page on this site can tell you how many ingredients are in a croissant or whether it is ultra-processed.
For drinks GAIL's publishes calories and allergens only. Boone estimates fat, sugar, protein and salt from the milk and ingredients used and marks every estimated figure on the page. Loaves, loaf cakes, granola, spreads and soups are published per 100g, so those pages show per 100g figures and leave them out of the rankings.
Every item in order, for the question you are asking.
Source.
Corrections. Figures that cannot be right are corrected, and free sugar is worked out from the ingredients where they are published.
Guidelines. UK government and NHS limits by age and sex. Healthiest and unhealthiest rankings use the UK nutrient profiling model.
Allergens. Always check with the restaurant if you have an allergy.
Images. Item images are illustrations created by Boone, not photographs.
Read the full methodology →Food figures come from the nutrition and allergen data GAIL's publishes on gails.com, checked October 2026. Drink calories and allergens come from GAIL's Beverages Nutrition and Allergen Guide. Boone then calculates free sugar and how much of the daily guidelines each item uses for your age and sex.
Boone rechecks the GAIL's pages when GAIL's updates its published data or menu. Seasonal items that leave the menu stay live but are removed from this hub and the rankings.
Calories, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugar, free sugar, fibre, protein and salt, plus the 14 major allergens and whether GAIL's lists the item as vegetarian or vegan.
Open any item and set an age and sex. The calculator shows calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein as a share of the daily guideline for that person, and you can add other items to build a full breakfast or lunch.
GAIL's publishes calories for its drinks but not fat, sugar, protein or salt. Boone estimates those from the milk GAIL's uses and, for chocolate and chai drinks, the chocolate and syrup, scaled to GAIL's calorie figure. Every estimated figure is labelled.
GAIL's publishes its loaves, loaf cakes, granola, spreads and soups per 100g rather than per slice or pot. Boone shows them that way and lets you enter the amount you eat in the calculator, rather than inventing a slice size.
GAIL's publishes total sugar. NHS limits apply to free sugar, which excludes the sugars naturally present in milk. For milk drinks Boone deducts the lactose, so the free figure can be lower than the total.
Boone uses UK Dietary Reference Values and NHS limits: 30g of free sugar for adults, 24g for ages 7 to 10 and 19g for ages 4 to 6; 6g of salt for adults, 5g for ages 7 to 10 and 3g for ages 4 to 6; and calorie references that differ by age and sex.
Yes. Each item shows which of the 14 major allergens GAIL's declares, and which cereals and nuts. GAIL's makes everything by hand with shared equipment, so no item is guaranteed allergen free.
Not online. Food sold loose or made to order only needs the 14 allergens declared. Items GAIL's packs on site carry ingredients on the label in the bakery. Without a published list Boone cannot classify GAIL's items as ultra-processed.
Yes. Each page states whether GAIL's lists the item as vegetarian or vegan, and every drink is shown with oat and soya milk as well as dairy.
Yes, with some care over portion and choice. A breakfast pot or sandwich sits very differently from a filled croissant or a cake, and the calculator shows the difference for your age.
