• "When it arrived the first few bites tasted very burnt, flipped it over and you can see that it's burnt."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Prices are decent, not the cheapest but they have Monday deals which makes it better than any creams."
• "Go on a MONDAY and enjoy a selection of pancakes for just 5.00."
• "The prices are normal for London, £3-5 for a starter, averaging around £10 for a big loaded pancake."
• "Pancakes were nice, as well as all day £7.50 a pancake on the standard menu."
• "The prices were extremely affordable considering they were quite generous with the portions."
• "Price is good for the quantity of food they served."
• "I had lunch here on Monday so almost all of the pancakes cost £5-6."

Cons:

• "But it was £17 for that and didn’t feel deserved at all, I’ve had much better for £5."
• "The pancakes were very overpriced (£11-£13)."
• "For nearly £10.00 I feel there should have been more fruit like Strawberries and raspberries."
• "It was quite expensive too for what we had and the horrible experience."
• "The prices are little bit too high to my liking but apparently Mondays are half price on most of the crepes."
• "Do not come here because it's pricey. I paid £9.56 for this!!! for some miniature pancakes."
• "The food was ok, just ok, but the price for basically pancakes with a little toppings was ludicrous."

• "The feeling inside was sterile but adequate."
• "And the gluten free one was a horrible albino biscuit."

• "Food OK the pancakes were nice however the change to melamine white plates compared to blue patterned china Dutch themed which most of us remember from years of visits make it lose all its niceties."
• "Quite an early atmosphere inside."
