You can choose from dishes like the All American (pancakes, eggs, sausage, potatoes, bacon and maple syrup), Pancakes & Berries (fresh berries, berry compote, maple syrup and vanilla ice cream) and Banana & Salted Caramel Pancakes with vanilla cream and chocolate sauce. There are also amazing vegan pancakes. With locations all over London, there’s definitely no excuse to give breakfast a miss.
