The Wild Plum

This hidden gem, located just off Leeds Road, has been one of the town's go-to destinations for indulgent delights for years now, and one thing they excel at is pancakes. With three options on the menu, there's something to suit everyone. Will you choose the Classic Pancakes served with seasonal fresh fruit, chocolate mousse, maple syrup, fruit compote and trash granola? Opt for a plate of fluffy Breakfast Pancakes topped with Lishman's smoked streaky bacon, fried eggs, maple butter? Or go all out with the Banoffee Vegan Pancakes which are made up of cacao & banana pancakes, miso caramel, caramelised banana chips, chocolate popcorn, crushed banana chips and fudge yoghurt?

Where? The Wild Plum, 34-36 Hookstone Rd, Harrogate HG2 8BW

Hustle & Co

One of the town's favourite brunch spots is known for its ultra fluffy and delicious pancakes. Every day between 9 am and 12 pm you can enjoy a stack of yummy goodness as each pancake comes dairy-free and gluten-free, but we bet you can't tell the difference. The Classic Pancakes come in two options - 'the savoury' is served with smoked crispy streaky bacon, fried egg, house-made savoury granola & maple syrup; while 'the sweet' comes with freshly sliced banana, fresh berries, peanut butter caramel & maple syrup. We hear that Pancake Day is the perfect excuse to order both.

Where? Prince Albert Row, 71 Station Parade, Harrogate, HG1 1ST
