Next Tuesday, on the 1st of March, it is Pancake Day! It is customary to fill yourself up with delicious pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, so we have made a list of some of the best places to get your fill of pancakes! Save the hassle of flipping pancakes onto the floor or ceiling by visiting one of these 6 extraordinary establishments!
La Delice
38 Ladywell Road, Lewisham, SE13 7UZ
Where better to start our pancake tour than with crepes in Paris, or at least in a little slice of Paris tucked away in Lewisham. Within this beautiful café, occupying a spacious corner spot in Ladywell, you can find a range of both sweet and savoury crepes. Though if you’re not in the mood for pancakes, they have a wonderful selection of cakes to pick from too. Using your South London Club Card can save you 10% on cakes! Head down to Ladywell if you want some quality crepes from some of South London’s best French food professionals!
The Breakfast Club
11 Southwark Street, London Bridge, SE1 1RQ
The Breakfast Club undoubtedly has some of the best places for breakfast in London. They have an extensive array of breakfast foods over their all-day menu and their pancakes are some of the biggest stars of the show. They keep it simple with three options covering fruit, bacon, and their locally famous McLovin’ speciality pancakes! You can test your ability as a pancake connoisseur by taking their Pancake Day special Pancake Challenge by attempting to eat 12 pancakes in 12 minutes! If London Bridge isn’t quite your style, they have several locations throughout the city including Battersea Rise and Croydon both South of the River, Canary Wharf to the East and Angel to the North! My personal recommendation is their canal-side venue in Hackney. A short trip on the DLR from Woolwich and a lovely little stroll through Queen Elizabeth Park in Stratford and you’re at the most idyllic location for pancakes! And if you want to stay in and make your own pancakes, The Breakfast Club can still help you out with their new Pancakes At Home Kit, ready just in time for Pancake Day!
Senzala Creperie
41-42 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, SW9 8PS
Pancakes are such a versatile food. Most of us will have them with maple syrup. Sometimes we’ll throw berries, cream, lemon, bacon and even fried chicken in the mix. But if you really want to push the boat out and see the versatility that pancakes have to offer then Senzala Creperie is the place for you! Their food is a miraculous marriage of Brazilian flavours and French crepes! They also serve galettes, which are fundamentally the same as crepes barring the use of a different flour to make them gluten free - so they can tailor to everyone’s needs! Why not celebrate pancake day here by grabbing a sumptuous savoury crepe before getting your sugar fix in with one of their sweet options! There’s even more cause to celebrate with 10% off when you bring your South London Club Card!
The Breakfast Co.
Camberwell (delivery)
The Breakfast Co. is an independent breakfast delivery service that serves Camberwell and the surrounding area. They can serve individuals but they specialise in office deliveries. They offer bespoke menus that serve all dietary requirements while also allowing you to create your own breakfast plan so that everyone can get what they want, even in large group orders! Included within that are their delicious pancakes, though it’s up to you to make the hard decision between berries and cream or maple syrup and bacon! If you want to treat your work team to breakfast this pancake day then the Breakfast Co. are the people to turn to!

Where The Pancakes Are
Flat Iron Square, Arch 35a 85a, Southwark Bridge Road, London Bridge, SE1 0NQ

They are based in London Bridge but also have a new venue in Fitzrovia if by some chance you find yourself across the river! This might be the perfect place to go for Pancake Day as they have already released their special Shrove Tuesday menu!
