pancake partySavoury or sweet, crepes or American-style – who doesn’t love pancakes?!

With Shrove Tuesday just over a couple of weeks away – 4 March, to be precise – here’s a fun idea for mums of pre-schoolers : a pancake party specially for them, at Mamma White’s Pancake Parlour on Stodman Street in Newark…

From 9.30am to 11.30am on Pancake Day, there’ll be games and singing with Joe Junior, as well as an opportunity for the tots to top their own pancakes before tucking in.

Places are limited, cost £6 per child and must be booked in advance – for more information and reservations, call 01636 704200 or email rebecca@mammawhites.co.uk

Can we smash it? Yes we can!
