Pancake Day 2023 Yorkshire: Best independent cafes, restaurants and local chains to eat pancakes in Leeds, York, Sheffield, Harrogate, Hull and Bridlington

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday and has been around since 1000 AD. The moveable feast is historically observed by many Christians around the world and is determined by Easter.

Traditionally during Lent, Christians go through a fasting period where they give up rich, tasty foods, such as butter, eggs, sugar and fat. Shrove Tuesday is the last day to eat these foods before Lent begins, this is where Pancake Day got its name.

More recently everyone, not just Christians, indulge in a delicious pancake breakfast, lunch or dinner to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Here are some of the most popular pancake houses in Yorkshire.
