Here are all the specials and offers you don’t want to miss
Looking for a flippin’ good time this Pancake Day? Or don’t trust yourself to get the batter onto a plate rather than stuck to your ceiling? Put your trust in one of London’s restaurants instead; the city’s brunch and pancake joints aren’t playing around when it comes to Shrove Tuesday this year and we’re here to give you the scoop. There are new specials, elaborate creations, exciting collabs, and loads to sink your teeth into (literally). These are the places to flip out on Pancake Day in London.
