Ah, Shrove Tuesday! The finest day of the year when you’re allowed, nay encouraged, to eat a stack of blissful sugary, syrupy pancakes. We can’t get enough of them and we imagine you can’t either so here’s our list of the best places to feast on them.
Want to add some Yankee patter to your batter? Then head down to Jackson & Rye! The US-themed boozy brunch spot is now a Shrove Tuesday staple with its beautiful buttermilk pancakes stacks. The all-American Bacon and Maple Syrup option (£8.50) is life-affirmingly good.
Or, how’s about the Caramelised Banana with Maple Syrup (£6.25)? Restaurants are easy to find, there’s six to choose from across the capital.
