Where better than an award-winning brunch spot to find amazing pancakes?

Choose from bacon or fruit pancakes, both of which are made with tasty buttermilk pancakes. Streaky bacon, blueberries and maple syrup accompany these for a treat straight from the US, and for a fruity treat enjoy banana and fruit compote (this option can also be made vegan!). Book in advance for a bottomless brunch to enjoy unlimited mimosas and prosecco alongside your pancake day brekkie.
