This Leeds restaurant is selling hanging pancake ‘kebabs’ for Pancake Day
Offering a sweet take on the group's trademark hanging kebab, in a Pancake Day twist miniature pancakes are hung from skewers with a choice of three different toppings.
After two years of missing out on a non-lockdown Pancake Day, we can finally get our fix in restaurants across the country this year.
Of course, we're expecting some pretty special pancakes this year and The Botanist has created its own menu special to aid Pancake Day celebrations this year.
The Botanist might be famous for its hanging kebabs, but have you ever heard of a hanging stack of pancakes?

It's not the first time the restaurant has made this special, but it's been a while since anyone's been able to enjoy it due to the trials and tribulations of the past few years.
Until now, that is. After a two-year hiatus, the team is bringing back its signature sell-out special for 2022 - and it looks absolutely divine.

Each served with a pot of sauce made specially to drizzle down the 'kebab', topping choices include the likes of chocolate brownie chunks and hot chocolate sauce, or marshmallow and strawberries with a lemon drizzle. Naughty.
Priced at £6.95, the special pancake 'kebabs' will be available from 28 February and 2 March.
In a post that has been liked over 6,000 times, The Botanist shared the news with its Instagram followers earlier this week, writing: "Pancake Hanging Kebabs RETURN!
"To celebrate Shrove Tuesday our Hanging Pancake Kebab specials will be making a return between Feb 28th - March 2nd and we’re flippin’ excited!

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

"Our chefs are Greek, bringing authentic knowledge and experience from Greece. The interior design will also reflect the style of the Greek islands, so when people visit they will feel like they are stepping into a little part of Greece."
They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably. Since launching our first location, the response from customers has been fantastic, and Morley felt like the natural next step as we continue to grow."
