"So I'm on a mission to lose some weight and get healthy, my daughter was adamant she wanted to come here for dessert. We heard it was under new management, so we were a little apprehensive. However, I enjoyed it before, but I used always get a waffle. We walked in, and the new owner was there to greet us. He told me straight away there weren't any waffles available, and to have some would be a half-hour wait. The waffles were the reason we went. I almost walked out of there, but my daughter wanted the ice cream instead. So we were a group of My children made their order and enjoyed it; the youngest one went for that blue ice cream. She enjoyed it but wasn't a fan of bits that were in it. The other three enjoyed their desserts. I thought I'd get a sundae; call it a proper cheat day (I have a lot of them). I got the chocolate sundae, and for once in my life, it was perfect. Not too sweet I felt sick, but just right so I could enjoy it and finish it off. Great value for money, and the customer service was flawless. I told my daughters to go make their orders, but the older were being shy, so when I was sitting on the table asking one of them what they wanted, I repeated it loud enough the owner got the gist of what I was doing, and was in the ball. Really nice desserts, couldn't recommend it enough. Will be back maybe even tomorrow for a waffle. Just gotta watch those calories. Lol."

"I would say having been coming to the Pancake Place over the last 10 years, once every other month, it has sadly went very badly down hill. My wife and I visited with our 12 year old daughter. On arrival we were seated quickly and our drinks order taken within a few minutes. We received our drinks 2 diet pepsi which were not fizzy (clearly issue with draft) and a smoothie which was very tasty and refreshing. There were maybe about 4 or 5 tables occupied, so for a lunchtime I thought why is it so quet . Anyway, my wife and daughter both ordered the macaroni and I ordered the fish and chips. We received our food within about 5 6 mins which made me question that alot of the food must have just been simply reheated! The macaroni was insipid and lacked seasoning and my fish was about half the size of the normal portion I was used to getting. I questioned this with the server and he went to the kitchen only to return to advise that they can 't control the size of the portions they receive from their supplier!? The fish was definitely small enough to be a child 's portion. I requested why don 't they just give me an extra portion of the fish to which he replied. Sorry can 't do that but we can remove the meal from your bill . They did ask if I would like an alternative from the menu but by this point my wife and daughter had already eaten half of their meal so I wasn 't willing to make them wait any longer. In addition to this we were not given any cutlery until after we were served our food. Both my wife and daughter said they did not enjoy their food but it was edible. I returned my plate to the kitchen and received a credit off the bill. Sorry but £12 for what was basically a kids portion of fish, a handful of chips and a rotten looking side salad, it is very overpriced for what you get. None of us will be returning here. Quite sad really given it was always such a friendly, busy and quality cafe. Owners please do better!"
