Norfolk


<p>Whether you’re a purist who swears by lemon and sugar or you’re all about towering American-style stacks dripping in maple syrup, Norfolk’s café and brunch scene has you covered. From cosy coffee spots serving delicate crêpes to buzzy brunch hangouts plating up fluffy buttermilk beauties, these are the spots flipping seriously good pancakes &#8211; on Shrove Tuesday and any day a craving strikes.</p>

<p>If you fancy pancakes with a side of history, The Parlour is your spot. Housed in a light-filled 17th-century barn built from nearby priory ruins, it looks out over a field of cows, a lovely view while you tuck into fluffy stacks of Scotch pancakes  piled high with delicious toppings. From full English breakfasts to cheese boards, salads, and a sweet range of cakes and scones (mostly made on-site with local produce), it’s a flippin’ fab spot for breakfast, brunch, or a cheeky afternoon treat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-ber-street-kitchen-norwich"><a href="https://www.theberstreetkitchen.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Ber Street Kitchen</a>, Norwich</h2>



<p>These brunch bosses know their way around a pancake stack &#8211; and then some. Expect gloriously fluffy American-style beauties piled high with toppings that make decision-making almost impossible. Are you team crispy bacon and maple syrup, or going all in on pecans, caramelised banana, salted butterscotch sauce and a generous squirt of cream? (We’re permanently torn.) Super popular &#8211; especially at weekends &#8211; so booking is highly recommended. Dog-friendly, warm and wonderfully welcoming, it&#8217;s no surprise The Ber Street Kitchen has scooped the Best Café gong at the Muddy Awards two years on the bounce.</p>

<p>Why stop at just one or two when you can have a whole board piled high with pancakes at <a href="https://www.orangerytearoom.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Orangery Tea Room</a>? Tuck into fluffy American-style pancakes accompanied by mini pastries, fresh berries and homemade granola on one of their delicious grazing breakfast boards whilst admiring the views over the lake and lawns of Ketteringham Hall. In the winter, book a table in the heated marquee for the best vantage point.</p>

Christophe&#8217;s do all the classics, but they also lay on loads of intriguing and delicious-sounding specials &#8211; current obsession is the Biscoff Bae, Belgian white choc, crushed lotus biscuit, strawberry and Biscoff spread. Heaven.</p>

<p>This Sheringham café is a cute, flint-walled tea room on the outside and a plant &#8216;n&#8217; pink-filled Insta delight on the inside. A perfect combo, no?
