Pancake day special: The CFC

This Pancake Day we’re putting the spotlight on our nutritious, hearty pancake meals, specifically with our new “Cornflake Fried Chicken”.

Letter from the founder: on pancake day

News Archive

Dear pancake friends, Ever since our first pancake pop-up on Shrove Tuesday 10 years ago (for anyone who remembers, that was February 15th 2015, and it was even colder than it is today – same blue skies though!), Valentine’s Day marks…

What came first the pancake or the egg?

Uncategorised

Of course it all started with an egg. We continue to find inspiration in the legendary words of Spanish chef Ferran Adrià: "Who on earth came up with the idea of splitting an egg? That person was a genius." His insight captures the essence…

brunch with friends who have a toddler-- staff were friendly, food was excellent! Toddler had little pancakes with blueberries and was provided with a high chair and there was a place to store the pram by the front door. Adults had variations of the savoury pancakes -- all great! Nice, customisable ordering system and the hollandaise was Amazing. great drinks selection as well -- juices, coffees, etc. Really enjoyable

This place is also near borough market.If you want a cute view of athe Shard, you can dine here.Made a reservation, was sat a couple of minutes as the previous group was just leaving the table were going to occupy.I had the kimchi and stilton dutch pancakes. It is not for the faint of heart or the less adventurous tastebuds. 😅 such strong flavors that I didnt think would go well. I finished it all and got it for free. The pancakes had very good texture.Carafes of water was really appreciated.Loo is available. Wifi available.They accept card payments and you can scan QR code to pay.

Response from the owner: Hi Rich,Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the view of the Shard and gave the Kimchi & Stilton Dutch baby a try – definitely a unique combo! It's great to hear the pancakes had a good texture, and we're happy you appreciated the carafes of water, facilities, and easy payment options. Hope to welcome you back again soon! Best wishes,Marharyta

Daniel Becker

I ate here with a group and those who ate enjoyed their meals. However, I have a peanut allergy and was informed by the manager that they wouldn't serve me unless I was "okay with cross-contamination". This is disappointing. Allergies are poorly catered for here. I had a coffee and ate elsewhere.

Response from the owner: Dear Daniel,Thank you so much for your feedback!We are happy to hear that your party enjoyed their meals.We understand the frustration with the allergy issue however due to nature of our kitchen the risk of cross contamination of nuts, gluten, dairy & egg is high and we would not advise those with severe allergy to these to dine with us.As much as we would love for everyone to try our delicious dishes we care for our guests health first.Best Wishes,NataliaAssistant Manager

Caroline Findlay

I was shopping in Battersea Power Station on Pancake Day, and really fancied a pancake. I discovered this restaurant was in the shopping centre and decided to treat myself.I was seated quickly and left to peruse the menu for a few minutes. I ordered the Miso Pear Caramel Pancake, along with a Turmeric Ginger Oat Latte. Both items arrived pretty quickly. The pancakes were gorgeous, but I did find the cream a bit too much. It’s very rich and I felt it overwhelmed the delicate flavour of the pears and caramel sauce - but that is just my personal opinion. I was also a little disappointed with the latte, as it was tepid and not the “hug in a mug” that I’d hoped for.Overall I was happy with the food and service - my negative comments are based purely on my personal preferences. I would definitely like to return and try other items from the menu.

Response from the owner: Dear Caroline, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the quick seating and the Miso Pear Caramel Pancakes. We appreciate your comments about the flavors and will take them into consideration for future improvements. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the latte, as we strive to provide the best experience possible.We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again so you can try the other drinks and pancakes! Best wishes, LidiaGeneral Manager

Megan Robbins

Me and my mum popped in after a visa appointment down the road and we definitely didn’t regret it! The only negative is that there was so much to choose from we couldn’t decide. I went for the royal with avocado plus halloumi and my mum had the simple with a few extras. The pancakes were super fluffy and huge! All the additionals were delicious and my vanilla matcha latte was dreamy. Sihab looked after us during our visit, he was super friendly and helpful, offering suggestions when we were feeling overwhelmed with the amount of choice and offered more sauces for our meals. Thankyou Sihab for being so attentive and thankyou where the pancakes are for a lovely hump day brunch!

Response from the owner: Dear Megan, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you and your mum enjoyed the pancakes and found our staff helpful. Sihab will be glad to know he made your visit special. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you both again for another lovely brunch!Best wishes, LidiaGeneral Manager

Came here for a coffee with a friend on a Saturday while strolling around the area and was really impressed with how warmly welcomed we were by staff. Everyone working there was super friendly and approachable, and it’s in a great spot “tucked away” behind Southwark Bridge. Delicious coffee. Still need to return to try the pancakes though!

Response from the owner: Hi Amy,Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. We can’t wait to have you back for the pancakes!Best wishes,Marharyta

Michal Lozinski

I really liked the food: pancakes were really tasty and there were lots of vegetarian options. The place is quite packed, so I recommend booking earlier. We had a place on the outside, but they have heating lamps and provide blankets which was very nice. The service was great. Overall I am really pleased.

Response from the owner: Hi Michal,Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the pancakes and the variety of vegetarian options. We appreciate the tip about booking in advance, and it's great to hear you were comfortable outside with the heating lamps and blankets. We look forward to having you back!Best wishes,Marharyta

Nicholas Riley

Come here every year around pancake day and bring my team - they handled a booking of 20 really well, all the food came out at the same time which is impressive for so many peopleThe pancakes are thick and fluffy, if I was being picky I'd say the bacon could be crispier and id like the blueberries cooked in my pancake.The flat white is more like a mini latte, but that's not unusual in London

Response from the owner: Hey Nicolas ,thanks for the great feedback, Nicholas! We're thrilled to hear your team enjoyed their pancake day with us. Your suggestions on the bacon and blueberries are noted for future improvements. We appreciate your insights and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best Wishes Ross.B General Manager

Elise Kern

Hidden away behind Southwark bridge, with a very large seating area downstairs, there are a few more table upstairs as well. We were welcomed very warmly and seated right away although there were already many people.Their menu has a very wide selection of brunches, with vegan options as well, even for the pancakes! Would also recommend their juices. Overall a lovely place and great experience. Thank you for having us!

Response from the owner: Hi Elise,Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us, from the warm welcome to our wide brunch selection.

Good Food excellent hospitality

Atiya Davids

Delicious pancakes, perfect for breakfast. Not too sweet- you finish the meal full and satisfied, but not feeling sick. I love that there are vegan options. I ordered the vegan Hummingbird pancake. The coconut cream was lovely and the lime sauce was unique. The pomegranate and coconut chips were a nice touch. The texture of the pancake was lovely and light, not heavy at all. The iced vanilla matcha oat latte was lovely too. Very fast service with friendly waiters. Eddie and Nia were great.

Response from the owner: Atiya, thank you for your fantastic review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our vegan Hummingbird pancake and iced vanilla matcha oat latte.

Evelyn Chw

Waren relativ spontan ohne Reservierung dort. Wir wurden super freundlich empfangen und haben einen Platz im Innenbereich bekommen. Wir haben einmal die amerikanischen Pancakes mit Bacon und Heielbeeren und Ahornsirup genommen. Zudem noch eine englische Version mit Bacon, Bohnen(die waren grandios) und Wurst und zwei Pancakes. Als Getränk gab es einen Flatwhite und einen Tee. Man kann direkt am Tisch bezahlen was es auch zusätzlich einfach macht. Wir waren wirklich sehr positiv überrascht und sind glücklich dort gewesen zu sein.

Response from the owner: Hi Evelyn,Thank you for the great review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the pancakes, drinks, and our friendly service. It’s fantastic to know that both the American and English pancakes hit the spot. We're so happy you had a pleasant experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon!Best wishes,Marharyta

William connolly

Pretty good. Service was good. Pancakes were nice. Drinks were very nice. The Spanish Latte looked like it actually has condensed milk in it, unlike the one from Costa. The banana pancake was not saucy enough, I asked for more, which was given with no hassle. Overall pretty good, well worth a visit if you like pancakes.I didn't feel overly full after eating, no belly ache of any kind, which I do get sometimes if I eat pancakes!

Shahad Alsaad

Loved the banana and marshmallows pancakes 😍

Response from the owner: Hi Shahad,Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Banana Marshmallow pancakes. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon!Best wishes,Marharyta

Caithlyn Sangalang

The food was very good, pancakes were soft and fluffy, I recommend the pastrami pancakes, they give extra syrup on request with zero charge. However, I wasn’t the most fond of the avocado, but our server was very kind to take it off the bill when he noticed we hadn’t eaten much of it. Mao was very friendly and catering towards my table, 10/10 service. The music was very lively and also 10/10, the place was very homey and cute, would definitely recommend ☺️

Response from the owner: Hi Caithkyn,Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the pastrami pancakes and the service from Mao. Sorry the avocado wasn’t to your liking, but happy we could make it right! Glad you loved the vibe and music too. Hope to see you again soon! Best wishes,Marharyta

For lovers of Dutch style layered pancakesWe prefer crepes (the Old Dutch), but this all okay

Louis O'Rourke

Came here for breakfast today . I was really impressed with the service from the young waiter . She made the visit personal which is the most important thing in hospitality ( having worked in hospitality before) . I just got the simple pancake with bananas and white chocolate . Was amazing . Shame there wasn’t a few more pancakes but oh well! Defo recommend . Battersea power station could do with better signage for the shops / restaurants which are out of the way .

Sam D

Possibly the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Sweet and refreshing (Hummingbird pancakes) and the spanish latte was lovely. Staff were all really polite and friendly too

Nice food and staff. We were served by Irene who recommended us the best pancakes ever! Banana Marshmallow with Caramel and American, amazing combination for the meal. My recommendation is to share savoury and sweet to try both, trust me, chicos.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and had a great experience with Irene.

Jo joe

Really lovely place, I do recommend to book in advance but otherwise they can offer you tables outside with heaters and blankets, so you will be alright. Anyway, we waited around 20 minutes for the table, which is solid for a lunch time. I ordered pear caramel which is a winter special as told by a host and pulled beef as it sounded and tasted nice. The coffees were banging and especially the matcha!!! Jeez, really nice lunch we had today before continuing to explore London.

Response from the owner: Hi Jo,Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your lunch and that the heaters and blankets made your outdoor experience more comfortable. It’s great to hear you loved the Pear Caramel and Pulled Beef Pastrami, as well as the matcha latte—such a perfect combo for a winter day! We really appreciate the recommendation and looking forward to having you back!Best wishes,Ryta

Pat Wellman

Visited here for Birthday lunch with Husband, Daughter and Son in Law.Pancakes were amazing. Eggs were poached to perfection and were the freshest ever eaten in a restaurant. What made it extra special, was that family members with dietary requests were also catered for.Highly recommended, will definitely visit again . Maybe next time it will be for sweet pancakes.

Had a hummingbird outside! The seats have blankets and are cosy! Staff were lovely and so nice! Was a great meal!They did take a while to deliver the food, but it was advertised on the menu that it might be a bit of a wait, but it was worth itI can see why it took a while to make cause it was honestly delicious🥞😋Thank you all for your amazing work!Can't stress enough how thoughtful I think it is that you put the pillows and blankets outsideIf you're having a bad day or feel a bit emotional, that kind of care while you wait for some delicious treats really can make all the difference!Totally recommend if you're in the area!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Response from the owner: Hi Lucien,Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the food, and the little touches like the blankets and heaters.

Situé à l’abri de l’agitation, nous avons opté pour petit déjeuner à l’extérieur : plaids et lampes chauffantes rendent possible cela même en février. Cappuccino et latte nous ont plus. Monsieur a pris un English brekkie, heureux s avoir des produits de qualité, notamment les slow cooked beans 🫘 qui font vraiment la différence, avec les superbes buttermilk pancakes moelleux à souhait. J’avais opté pour un Australian brekkie parce que je suis obsédée par l’avocat 😬 le « pancake » est en polenta avec des grains de maïs, avocat frais, la crème fraîche est d’avoine (et parfaite), salade de roquette avec une SUPERBE huile au citron confit. Je me suis régalée. Servis par Goran qui a su allier amabilité et efficacité. Bref une adresse qui vaut le détour .

Response from the owner: Bonjour Marie,Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with us. We’re doing our best to make sure our customers can enjoy their meals comfortably, even with the chilly weather. We’re so glad you enjoyed the quality of our dishes, English breakfast with beans and Australian with polenta corn fritter and avocado on top. It’s also fantastic to know that Goran’s friendly and efficient service added to your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to welcome you back soon.Best wishes,Marharyta

Zereena Afflick

Lovely time with family ❤️Food was delicious and we all got the Full English Breakfast , I added some halloumi to mine, the pancakes, sausage and seasoned beans were my favourites, the first portion of bacon was burnt but our server was able to get us a new portion of smoked bacon which was delicious 😋 I had the pumpkin latte but was a bit disappointed as I could taste more coffee then pumpkin, My hubby got the Chai latte which was yummy. The server was very polite, accommodating and attentive, sorry I didn’t get his name. Restaurant was nice,clean and not too busy, location is great and most of all the play list was on point as they were playing my favourite artist Cleo Sol so we were vibing while eating😂❤️ We will be back!

Response from the owner: Dear Zereena,That sounds like a fantastic experience overall! We're so glad you enjoyed your meal, and it's great to hear that our team was able to quickly sort out the bacon for you. We'll take note of your feedback about the pumpkin latte and work on improving it.We love that you appreciated the playlist—Cleo Sol is a great choice! 😊 Looking forward to welcoming you and your family back for more good vibes and delicious food soon.Best Regards,KonradAssistant Manager

Quel régal ! Les recettes de pancakes sucrées atomisent ce que vous connaissez traditionnellement de ces crêpes. Réservation recommandée mais nous sommes cependant entrées sans en quelques minutes.

Kevin Dundon

So good!After seeing quite a few negative reviews, which made me think twice about coming, I thought I'd add a review to hopefully help anyone potentially feeling the same way.Literally nothing to fault, they were in fact some of the best pancakes me and my daughter have ever had.No funny taste as some have mentioned, unless you dislike the taste of freshly made hot delicious pancakes!The bacon was perfectly cooked to compliment them with very tasty syrup as well.Very pleasant surprise to hear Nick Drake playing through the speakers when we were there too, any fellow fans might realise how rare this is to hear, the whole soundtrack was very well selected.Don't question coming, try for yourself, I'm sure you'll leave very happy and full!

Response from the owner: Dear Kevin, Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the pancakes so much. Your description of the perfectly cooked bacon and tasty syrup really paints a delicious picture. I'm glad you appreciated the music selection as well, it's always nice when a place goes the extra mile to create a pleasant atmosphere.Your positive review will surely encourage others to give it a try. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more delicious pancakes! Best wishes, LidiaGeneral Manager

Ben Hadley

A lovely place tucked away a short trip away from London Bridge station. We went for brunch, I had the full English and my friend had the pulled pork.The food was very tasty, my slight criticism on the full English would be the choice of bacon which was crispy rashers more suitable for the American pancakes.Big positives was proper maple syrup and the egg was magnificent.Definitely worth while stopping by if you are after a place to eat.

Response from the owner: Hi Ben,Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the English Breakfast and Pulled Beef Pastrami. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon!Best wishes,Marharyta

The food was okay. It's a bit lacking in temperature and taste, and a bit mean with the amount of maple syrup. They did cater for gluten free pancakes, which is great.

We're sorry to hear that the temperature and taste of the food, as well as the portion of maple syrup, didn’t meet your expectations.

My friend and I came here for breakfast at 8am yesterday. I had the American and she had a pancake from the breakfast menu with hollandaise and salmon. All I can say is, I'm an American and these are the best damn pancakes I've had in this country. They knocked my socks off and it gave me happy pancake afterglow for the rest of the day. Our waitress was super helpful and attentive, the food came in good time and the coffee was delicious too. We've decided we'll be back in Jan to sample the cocktails! (And have more pancakes, obvs).

Response from the owner: Dear Ariel,Wow, what a fantastic review—thank you! We’re thrilled to hear that our pancakes gave you a “happy pancake afterglow” and that they’re the best you’ve had in the UK! It’s always great to impress an American with our take on the classics.We’re also delighted that your friend enjoyed their breakfast dish and that the service, coffee, and overall experience met your expectations. We’ll be ready to welcome you back in January for cocktails (and, of course, more pancakes).Thank you for starting your day with us—we’ll see you again soon!Best Regards,KonradAssistant Manager
