Get battered: The Book Club’s stack

Pancake Day doesn’t seem quite so special now that pancakes are on offer at every other bottomless brunch in town. So next Tuesday take the time to treat yourself to something a little more showbiz than lemon and sugar.

Luxe

A classic pancake batter can be knocked up for pennies but there’s no requirement that Shrove Tuesday be a frugal affair. Make the most of it with this grilled king prawn and chorizo crepe with bisque sauce.

Super-sweet

Forget pancakes for breakfast and go for an indulgent pudding of deep-fried pancakes with salted caramel rum sauce, banana, whipped cream and Nutella.

Info: £8.50, The Book Club, EC2, wearetbc.com

Homegrown

Keep things local with foraged ingredients from the Sussex forest — pancakes served up with redcurrant and rose geranium drizzle sauce and hazelnut sherbet.

Comfort food

Curl up and keep cosy with some fluffy ricotta pancakes with poached pear and maple crème fraîche at this new independent restaurant in Richmond.

Info: £7.50, No 1 Duke Street, Richmond, no1dukestreet.com

Boozy

Shrove Tuesday might seem like a wholesome family-friendly occasion but don’t feel you have to skip a tipple. Get your nip of liquor in vintage sloe gin-infused pancakes served with blueberries and fresh cream.

Info: £5, Mr Fogg’s Tavern, WC2, mr-foggs.com
