Ah, Lent approaches, so we’ll all be clearing out the rich food and other indulgences then? Well, maybe not, but in a nod to past traditions there will certainly be pancakes aplenty chez Crooks tomorrow night – to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day!

And if pancakes weren’t great enough, chuck doing-some-good-for-charity into the batter-mix and you’ve got a winner. The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race is an annual fun event held in aid of the London Air Ambulance. So, fancy getting dressed up in costume and flipping? If so, head down to Dray Walk near Brick Lane tomorrow! More details and sign-up form here (scroll down list of events).
