Hanky Panky Pancakes in Cheshire West and Chester

We came here for breakfast one morning. The staff were lovely and welcome as soon as we walked in. Ask and brought over a highchair without us having to ask. They’ve a dedicated vegan section on the menu which is great! Kids get a free pancake and then you just pay for topping. I went for the banana blue I think it was called which was nice, I also had a smoothie which was good too. My husband really enjoyed his pancake too. We planned to return but unfortunately they were shut that day! Would return and recommend.

Never heard of Hanky Panky before however was meeting up with my brother , sister in law and nephew in Chester. My brother said he’d booked us in for 1.30 pm and said they had been a few times when you first opened. We arrived a few minutes early and a lovely lady sorted our table out for us . We had a little wait to order but no big deal probably saw my brother procrastinating about how many pancakes he could eat lol . Waitress arrived and was lovely and took our order quickly. Food arrived and was lovely so we scoffed the lot then ordered another round this time I went for savoury ‘Say Cheese’ absolutely delicious. Great little pots of tea and properly made coffees . Prices really reasonable. Nice & cosy atmosphere. Waitresses checked in on us a few times , they were great and loved the hair wraps . Had a great little afternoon with the family 😊 I leave you a pic of my brother unable to decide what to have and having to borrow my glasses to read the menu 😁

Hanky Panky has become a stable for my boyfriend and I every time we come to Chester. I love it so much. I am a creature of habit and I always get home on the range which is bacon and maple syrup. If you’ve never been: they offer scotch pancakes (which are like American pancakes), crepes, and omelettes. If you get a breakfast pancake you get two pancakes and if you get any others, it’s one. Oh! They also offer a vegan alternative for most of their pancakes as well. It’s just such good value! My boyfriend and I get pancakes and drinks each for under £20 overall. We can’t stop going!

A brilliant find. Lovely food, great value and the friendliest of service. Definitely worth a visit

Me and my partner love this place so much and we are constantly raving about it. We aren’t from Chester but heard of this place from my friend who is a local and now we drive up from Birmingham just for the pancakes a few times a year. This time we had to show our close friends this spot and they all loved it. The staff are lovely, especially Rekha who had the brightest smile ever and made us feel welcome and also the pancakes look and taste amazing.

This is a great place if you like pancakes. Not only is the food great, the staff are amazing as well. Really lovely people. Highly recommend!!!

Popped in for a quick bite and took an age as there is so many interesting choices of pancake, omelettes and drinks. Left not needing lunch so I would recommend going early to give your self time to walk off those naughty calories lol. Be prepared for a little wait as it always seems to be busy here, which is a good thing because you know the foods good

Great place to have lunch, with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Would highly recommend the Indian Omelette for anyone fancying a savoury dish. So much flavour and the homemade chutney was divine.

Pancakes were delicious, service was great, what an awesome place. We live locally so have tried all the pancake shops in Chester now, and this is the best hands down!

I visited the establishment a couple of times this last week with my son it was very cozy, friendly and inviting. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive! Would definitely visit again and definitely highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal this morning! The restaurant is very cozy, friendly and inviting. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive! Would highly recommend.

Turned up 10.30am (1 adult, 2 kids). Waitress very nice, started clearing a table for us. Owner came up and said there was no room. I explained the waitress was eating us, owner then said we'd be waiting atleast 30 mins. Clearly didn't want our business. Won't be returning. Very disappointed.

Great pancakes, good coffee and all reasonably priced. Visited on a sunny day with our Border Collie - were well taken care of by the lovely staff. Would definitely recommend.

Went twice in 3 days and both times the food was really good. Had omelette on first visit which was really good. Second visit was 2 pancakes with blueberries, banana, maple syrup and Greek yoghurt. It was sublime. Service was really friendly too. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This restaurant is a perfect spot for desserts! The menu is very good and everything is true to its description, Although the portions are smaller than other dessert places I have been to they do have a lot of toppings and ice cream accompanying the pancakes. I thought the value was pretty good with 4 people having a dessert for just over £30. Would definitely revisit if I was in the area.

Brilliant. I absolutely loved hanky panky. Definitely go there. We popped in for a drink and a pancake which were affordable and delicious. Brilliant menu with a great choice. Will definitely return there. Everything was more than satisfactory. 100% would reccomend

Quick service and tasty pancakes. Very affordable prices perfect spot for breakfast. Currently has construction right outside but that is no fault of the restaurants. Would definitely recommend if you are fancying a pancakes for breakfast 😊
