Tuesday 24th February
Avoid the flipping nightmare at home - come for afternoon
tea with your little ones (and big ones too). Treat them to
yummy pancakes with a choice of different toppings.
A delicious range
of sweet and savoury pancakes served all day.
A little pancake history
We have a much-loved tradition of making and eating pancakes
on Shrove Tuesday, which falls between February 2nd and March
9th each year, depending on the date for Easter. This year
Shrove Tuesday falls on 24th February. Shrove Tuesday stems
from old English word ‘shrive’, meaning ‘confess all sins’)
is the day before Lent. Lent commemorates Jesus’ 40 days in
the wilderness, and some Christians mark this period by fasting.
Shrove Tuesday was cleverly invented to use up the ingredients
that were given up for Lent - milk, butter and, particularly,
eggs - which may not be eaten again until Easter. (Source -
