Pancake Day is upon us once again this Tuesday March 1st.

Originating in the Christian tradition, Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day), falls the day before Ash Wednesday.

It is a feast day before the traditional fasting over the Lent period prior to Easter.

Over the years though it has become a day for pancakes whether you're religious or not.

So we've lined up some places to get your sweet treats this Pancake Day.

Using only the freshest of ingredients, and with pancakes made from scratch with free-range eggs and local grass-fed, glass-bottled cows milk (Treleague Dairy, Ruan Minor), our menu of both sweet and savoury pancakes are of the finest quality.
