How to get your hands on The Botanist's viral hanging pancake in time for Shrove Tuesday
Visitors to The Botanist have flipped out over its hanging pancakes - and the seasonal dish is back after a two year break.
It will be the first time the treat has been served at The Botanist in Keel Square, which opened its doors in January 2024 - and a return to its other North East branch in Newcastle.
The dessert, which has gone viral in previous years, is only available for four days, from Monday, March 3 to Thursday, March 6, including, of course, Shrove Tuesday, which this year falls on Tuesday, March 4.
A a sweet twist on its famous Hanging Kebab, the bar-and-restaurant has created two different Hanging Pancake Kebab combinations, each priced at £9.95.
The first is the Strawberry Blondie with mini American pancakes, blondie bites, fresh strawberries and toasted marshmallows, served with strawberry and vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis.
There’s also a Chocolate Orange version, with mini American pancakes, chocolate brownie bites and fresh orange, served with vanilla ice cream and a salted chocolate butterscotch sauce to drizzle down the kebab.
If you really want to push the boat out, there’s also a sharing option called The Sharer Stack, priced £45, which includes a choice of three Hanging Pancake Kebabs and a sharing tray with fresh fruit, caramelised banana, vanilla and strawberry ice-cream, raspberry coulis and salted chocolate butterscotch sauce.
