Wanted! New Pancake Flavour at Browns Pie Shop!
Browns Restaurant & Pie Shop on Steep Hill in Lincoln is giving children under 12 the chance to add their own unique twist to its Pancake Day menu next week.
In honour of Shrove Tuesday (aka Pancake Day) on 5th March, the Lincoln-based establishment is calling on local children to submit their creative ideas for a mystery flavour combination to be added to the Browns Pancake Day menu.
Danny Gill, owner and Head Chef at Browns Restaurant & Pie Shop, said: “We wanted to do something different to celebrate Pancake Day this year and get local children involved.
“As a chef who’s grown up in Lincoln, I’m keen to get more kids excited about food, cooking and the catering industry – and what better opportunity than a Pancake Day competition to give children that first insight into life as a chef?
“For Pancake Day this year we’ll be offering four delicious flavour options, including lemon and sugar, banana peanut and salted caramel, strawberry Eton mess and Bailey’s triple chocolate and cherry. But we’re seeking to add an unusual fifth flavour to our menu which will be decided by our competition winner.”
In addition to having their mystery flavour added to the menu for the day at Browns, the competition winner will also have the chance to go into the restaurant to make a stack of pancakes using their winning recipe for their family.
Danny added: “So, if you’re under 12 and have a quirky flavour combination in mind for Pancake Day we want to hear from you! To submit your entry, please email your flavour ideas to reservations@brownspieshop.co.uk.
In addition to the competition, for one day only (Pancake Day), free pancakes will be available for under 12s at Browns Restaurant & Pie Shop.
