Flippin’ Fantastic: The Best Restaurants for Pancake Day

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is a beloved tradition celebrated by many as a way to indulge before the start of Lent. It marks the last day before Ash Wednesday, when people would use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar before fasting. 

Today, it has become a favourite day for many, centred around indulging in delicious stacks of pancakes served with a range of classic Pancake Day toppings. Are you a lover of lemon and sugar, the perfect balance of citrus and sweet, or do you opt for a generous drizzle of maple syrup or honey? There are the rich and indulgent spreads, from Nutella and Biscoff topped with bananas and strawberries or savoury options like ham and cheese.

Whatever your usual topping of choice, we have rounded up a list of the best restaurants serving impressive stacks of pancakes, from their normal standout Breakfast and Brunch menus to creative Pancake Day specials.
