No plans for Shrove Tuesday? We say, you should take down a stack of pancakes. Because let’s face it – one pancake is never enough. From all you can eat pancakes, to pancake challenges – here’s the best pancake events in London. Flipping amazing:

1. For Bottomless Pancakes: Mr Fogg’s Tavern 

The Lowdown: This year, Mr Fogg has gone all out to ensure all who visit the Tavern will be in for a flippin’’ good time. Everyone will be able to indulge in all you can eat pancakes for £15. Savoury options include maple syrup and roasted ham, and cheddar, bacon and watercress. Meanwhile, the sweet toothed fans can enjoy whipped cream and berries, whipped Nutella and strawberries, or the well loved British classic, lemon and sugar. Remember guys, it’s bottomless pancakes.

2. For a Pancake Challenge: Polo Bar 

The Lowdown: Eat 10 pancakes in 10 minutes or less, if you win you’ll get your stack for free (worth £15), plus a free bottle of prosecco for the table (maximum of 4). If you lose you’ll have to pay full whack, and buy your own prosecco – it’s a hard life. Favourites include The New Yorker; cheesecake cream, strawberries, digestive crumbles and fruit coulis, and Cookies and Cream; Oreo, chocolate sauce and vanilla cream. For those wanting a little luxury, opt for Polo Bar’s Royal Pancakes; a tower of fluffiness with mixed fresh forest berries, vanilla cream and fruit coulis. Polo Bar’s competition is running  for one whole week (Tuesday 21st – Tuesday 28th February), all day and all night.

That’s right hungry folks, eat your heart out. In six minutes, and without water, you have to demolish a stack of chocolate chip pancakes (three chocolate chip cakes served with The Diner’s maple syrup), and a chocolate malt shake. If you finish your pancake and shake, your meal is on The Diner. If you don’t, the cost is £13.05 – which The Diner are going to be donating 100% to Shelter (Homeless Young People).
