Pancake Day 2023: Manchester’s 6 best places to get pancakes

Shrove Tuesday is almost here. Traditionally celebrated by Christians as the last day of indulgence before Lent, this foodie holiday is now a chance for everyone to come together and celebrate the champion of breakfast foods – the pancake.

Sweet or savoury, fluffy or flat, American or French, plain or loaded with toppings, there’s a pancake out there for everyone. And chances are you will be able to find one to suit your tastes in Manchester this Pancake Day.

If you haven’t quite mastered the perfect flip and would rather leave it to the professionals, here are some of the best offers to look out for.

The Botanist

Why have a plate of pancakes when you can have them hanging from a skewer instead? The Botanist have brought back their viral hanging pancake kebabs for the whole month of February.

The mini pancakes come in three varieties – the All American, with fried chicken and maple bacon and served with mini hash browns and sriracha mayo; Rocky Road, Biscoff and Oreo rocky road pieces, served with strawberries, chocolate sauce and vanilla ice-cream; and Chocolate Orange, brownie chunks, orange brandy sauce and vanilla ice-cream.

Each stack comes with a sauce that you can pour on top and drizzle down. You can also add a shot of Licor 43 to accompany your food for £2. Prices range between £8.95 and £16.50, depending on which stack you choose.

The Botanist has locations in Alderley Edge, Media City and on Deansgate. Bookings can be made online.
