Pancake Day is around the corner so we’ve taken a look at some flipping good photos from years gone by to get you in the mood for the big day.

Pictures include images from a vegan pancake cooking demonstration with David Carter of Welbeck School of Artisan Food in 2019, a pancake competition at Dawn House School in 2018 and a Maun View care home in 2016.

So get your batter at the ready and decide if you’re going for lemon and sugar or golden syrup.
