The staff and residents at Rivermead care home in Norton have been flipping pancakes as part of their annual Shrove Tuesday celebrations.

Sarah Lightfoot, Head Chef at the home, flipped more than 60 pancakes, serving them up with sweet and savoury fillings for all the eager staff and residents.

Sarah said: “My secret to the best pancakes is all in the whipping. Give it some elbow grease when mixing the batter and you’ll get perfect pancakes every time. I like experimenting with the fillings but our residents’ favourites are still good old fashioned lemon and sugar!”

Chaz, a resident at Rivermead, commented: “I absolutely love pancake day, it takes me back to my childhood when my mother used to make us all pancakes and we’d all wait in turn for ours hoping the batter would stretch to another. We’ve had so much fun reminiscing and sharing our favourite recipes for fillings.”
