If you like pancakes then this the place to come too. They serve all sorts, savoury to sweet. Sometimes you have to wait for a table but it is worth the wait.
Tables can be sticky but if you ask they will clean them for you. I mean what do you expect with all that syrup about, kids and syrup don't mix well but they enjoy it.
It is not bad for price either you get plenty on your plate. Can be a little tight for push chairs as the tables at front door are quiet close together, but you can leave the pram or push Chair near the front door or squeeze it in.

You get what you would expect from this place - it serves pancakes and syrup, pancakes and bacon, pancakes and curry, pancakes and chilli, pancakes and sausage, and other variations on this theme.
Which is great if you like pancakes.
I've been going to the Pancake Place since childhood. They used to be all over Scotland, didn't they?
I have many fond memories of pouring loads of syrup over stacks of fluffy pancakes. Of course, this was before GI diets, Atkins etc, and we all had tooth decay anyway from drinking nothing but Ribena.
They haven't changed too much, but they do offer some healthier options. The prawn cocktail salad comes with huge amounts of prawns, which is nice when you're used to skimpy portions.
They also offer baked potatoes, sandwiches and toasties.
The prices are reasonable.
It's a great place to take children, as the kids menu has 'piggies in a blanket' which is sausages wrapped in ...
pancakes, obviously.
Which they all seem to love.
It's also a way of serving them pancakes without covering them in something sweet.

Inside is nice looking and it has quite a warm atomosphere. However, the quality of the food can be some-what disappointing. They seem to have 'on' and 'off' days. A few times i have visited and the food has been lovely. Other times i have had to wait a long time for the food to be served and its been of poor quality!

It's old fashioned and full of grannies, but you cannot beat their pancakes with bacon and maple syrup - yum!
