Hanky Panky Pancakes in Cheshire West and Chester

This is such a quirky little hidden treasure to come and eat. The lady who welcomed us was so polite and sweet. Love all the little touches. I had an omelette and a pot of tea. The omelette was delicious and I tried my partners pancake with bacon and syrup and that was gorgeous. Reasonable prices and will definitely be coming back again

We met some friends for breakfast with our 1 year old kids. Staff were very welcoming and helped set up high chairs/re-arrange tables. You could tell the staff cared about providing a good experience. We really enjoyed our food (pancakes and omelettes) and the free baby pancake for our little one! We would come.back here again!

Been here a few times and took some family who had not been before! exceptional as always! great service and food and so reasonably priced!

Great independent coffee shop, delicious pancakes, friendly staff. One of Chester's hidden gems.

Tucked away off main street but a veritable treasure trove of deliciousness! Very good and lovely food with friendly attentive staff

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.

Staff are really welcoming. Food was amazing aswell

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 😁

Great food, host is lovely, the place has a unique vibe and lots of locals go. A must try if you in Chester. Every plate looks as it should toppings are homemade down to the cookie dough chunks. 😋

I would definitely recommend this place for pancakes savory or sweet. They absolutely nail it. I was here for brunch on this instance, it felt a bit underwhelming. I had the Say cheese crepe, with and egg and bacon. It is quite a small portion, one crepe with filling to be precise, so don't use this as a brunch option. On the other hand, coffee was very good!!

Absolutely amazing food pancakes,bacon and maple syrup heaven and the service and ambience is 10/10 loves the place

Lovely food and a really warm atmosphere are highly recommended 👌

The pancakes are incredible, great portion sizes and the service was fantastic. The coffee is one of the best in the area. Hanky Panky is located just off the main street so it is slightly easier to get a table, especially outside when it's nice weather.

Really, really good. Omlettes to die for!

Fabulous food , great atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely a hidden gem of Chester which we will definitely return to.

Fantastic place hidden Jen of Chester. Lovely food and owner was very welcoming and service was excellent. A must for all food and non food fans looking for something different.

Absolutely delightful. Very very busy so book in advance if possible. Staff beyond attentive and just a nice place to be. You must give it a try if you haven't been before

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 lovely little place down a quiet street, Hanky Panky does great coffee and pancakes/crepes. The staff are really friendly too.

Place was so nice 👍 food was so good the rocky road was soooo good i would recommend it

Excellent food and very welcoming. Decent flat white - strong, hot and not too milky. Very reasonably priced too.

Great pancakes. Excellent service. Had a great time.

Unique dishes served by friendly hosts, Hanky Panky is one of the best places my partner and I have been for brunch! Filling, affordable, and with a cosy atmosphere! Can't wait to go again!

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 was a great find and if in Chester you should make a point of visiting here. Delicious food, great value and such lovely friendly service.

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

Lovely place for a breakfast. Ordered pancakes and ice-cream. Taste lovely but too heavy and sweet for a breakfast haha. The Indian omelette is lovely

Fantastic service and menu selection - had the breakfast omelette - delicious.

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!!!

This place is a dream. We are visiting from America and I ain't had pancakes like this in San Diego

Visited Hanky Panky twice on our weekend away. The pancakes were divine and the staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The service was quick even though they were extremely busy. This really is a little gem of a place. If I ever return to Chester I will definitely be returning best pancakes 🥞 I have ever had

The owners at hanky panky are so lovely. We stayed in the apartment above them and met and spoke to them both although the shop wasn't open that day. Once open we went for a pancake and they were lush. When we go back to Chester we will definitely be visiting hanky panky again. Tracey and Peter

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.

Lovely pancake breakfast 😋 2nd visit, but definitely not the last. We will visit again the next time we're in Chester.

Well what can I say just attended a lovely wedding and just experienced absolutely authentic South Indian food that mirrors their Curry night menu which is a monthly special - Rather than go through every wonderful dish I strongly recommend you try it - The Owner and his lovely wife are the perfect hosts and ooze enthusiasm and rightly so because it's a great place - I will definitely be booking a curry night and believe their pancakes are to die for - well done HP

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.

Lovely food and great service with a smile. Recommended.

Really a wonderful place to visit. We had breakfast and it was great food. Staff are polite and always smiling. Calling for takeaway Monday morning.

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.

A great atmosphere. Being here a few times and the staff are very friendly and accommodating (my friend has celiac disease). The food is amazing, there are a lot of choices on the menu. Would recommend to all.

BEST PANCAKED IVE EVER HAD !! I literally love pancakes and these ones are the best I've ever tried

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.

Such a warm welcome 😀 Pancakes were simply gorgeous, tea with tea leaves and lemonade with crushed raspberries. Highly recommended 😍

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

The pancakes are superb, and the service, oh the service! 5 out of 5 for the super friendly service, definitely a plus

One of our favourite places in town to visit. Whether it's for a delicious breakfast of pancakes, omelette or crepes, or for an afternoon sweet treat, you will not regret a visit. They always deliver quick and friendly service, with everything being made fresh for you. Booking is suggested but they will always try to squeeze you in. It's affordable too, considering it's in the heart of the city! We look forward to our next visit with Rekha and the team

The food, the staff and the vibes of the place are just amazing. I 100% recommend this place, my boyfriend and I had an awesome time!

Everything about this place is AMAZING!!! Not overpriced,so delicious, staff was so friendly too! Best pancakes I’ve ever had and the place in general is so nice

Great, fast service, lovely staff, very reasonably priced as well!

Oh, we had the most delightful breakfast at Hanky Panky in Chester! The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were just so lovely, even going out of their way to accommodate our children's many requests 😅. The flavors were beyond exceptional, and the service was simply top-notch. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone craving a heartwarming pancake experience. Definitely deserving of a glowing 5-star rating! ❤️🌟

Increíble sitio! Súper recomendado!

The pancakes are good and well cooked a nice and you’re really soft

Happy to keep going back, the staff are welcoming, the service efficient. This is a popular place and can get very busy, so it's advisable to book. I've been visiting regularly with my son and his cousins since they were toddlers, so that's getting on for ten years now. There is no need for me to repeat that the pancakes are superb. I would like to highlight the coffee, which is a delicious blend, the latte is something special.

Always a great breakfast at Hanky Panky. Staff are always super friendly, cool decor and great prices!

Food is very nice. Often too busy to walk in so recommend making reservation and food can be a little slow but service is impeccable. Deffo recommend

just amazing! lots of GF for my buddy and happy to add things to orders (bacon for her, strawbs for me)... super friendly and attentive!

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 😊

Exceptional pancakes and omelettes. Welcoming, friendly, helpful, and very polite staff. Calm atmosphere.

Wow, I’ve been here a few times and only had drinks, came here with the wife for food and wasn’t disappointed, I had Bacon,cheese and jalapeño crepe and she had Bacon,maple syrup pancakes with a poached egg, really enjoyed it, lovely young lady who served...

Absolute lovely place, great food and super staff.

Wonderful little pancake place, great selection and friendly staff. Would heartily recommend. It is possible to drop in but would recommend booking in advance.

Amazing savoury crepes and sweet pancakes

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Don't go in expecting to only eat one thing, you'll definitely want to try more!

Great decor inside and lovely staff, delicious food (vegan,breakfast & sweet options)😋😋

Quite simply a very friendly restaurant, serving a range of different breakfast foods all beautifully cooked. With such a relaxing atmosphere it's a really nice way to start your day.

Our favourite breakfast venue in Chester. Unmissable.

Came here on a whim, had bacon and maple syrup pancakes and my wife had the huff and puff omlet. Pancakes were so fluffy but the omlet was incredible as well.

This has to be hands down some of the nicest food I've ever had and such lovely friendly staff and environment. (Home on the Range + an apple juice). Been meaning to try for ages but keep forgetting. Won't be long till I pop back though

Really nice pancakes and omelettes.. great service, very friendly and fast! Good value, so filling. And great music!

The Indian omelette is worth visiting this restaurant for. The interior is a vibe with a blend of Indian and chic colours, pictures and plants. The service is always extremely helpful and you're always greeted with a smile! Would recommend the green coriander chutney with the Indian omelette too, possibly one of my fave things to get here. The sweet breakfasts are also yummy with the ability to change my order easily (lactose allergy but I wanted to try a range of flavours) and the pancakes look great. I've had a range of things off the menu and would certainly take visitors with me when returning.

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Family friendly, great staff and the food was amazing. We had a mix of the pancakes and omelette and everything was gorgeous

Lovely food and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly staff and with a wide range of pancakes with all sorts of toppings. Would definitely go here again

Only popped in for a brew, lovely young lady served me, excellent cuppa and great value at £1.50, will definitely return and sample the food !

Champion omelette was good, it had bacon, ham, peas, potatoes and onions in it. I was given a tomato sauce dip too which went down great. Partner had pancakes which were nice too. Friendly atmosphere and a lovely little stick a rock at the end too.

Beautiful crepes and the staff are absolutely lovely! Have visited several times over the past few years and it's great every time!

Great food, fair price, nice atmosphere and the owner is LOVELY. Really welcoming and just a sweetheart.

Very good value, lovely food very welcoming.

Found HP while a bit lost and came back three days in a row. Every breakfast was excellent and all the serving staff were cheery and helpful. Can’t recommend more highly.

Overall yummy and fairly priced food experience, plus dog-friendly! I had the Indian omelette with sans potatoes, which was SO tasty with the seasoning and spices even sans potatoes, plus a side of pancake. We both found the pancakes dry without butter but heavy pats of said butter remedied that. My husband got the traditional pancake order with a side of poached eggs. He agreed on the cake dryness but we appreciated the thickness and cakey texture of the pancake. Oh the masala chai is spicy and delcious!! A huge serve as well. Very friendly servers but as this place is BUSY, be prepared for slow service and having to ask for some items like water repeatedly. Also make a reservation!

Outstanding pancakes omelets, crepes, coffee and more. We found all of the wonder things others have written to be absolutely true. Food is excellent and service is great. One tip - they do accept bookings and you might want to make one if you’re going...

Even though Chester was quiet, it was really busy when we arrived for our 11:15 booking, so much so that they could not quite accommodate us. These things happen so we went for a quick stroll and came back 15 minutes later and they were...

Nice place. I liked the huff & puff omelette, it was a bit dry, but good. Service was fast and friendly.

Absolutely amazing, you have to visit to see.

Yummy crepe and can be tailored for you! Amazing service and vibes!

Mum and I stay overnight in Chester at least once or twice a year for a little retail therapy and no visit is complete without a fabulous breakfast here. It is always delicious, the staff are super friendly, nothing is too much trouble and the...

What an amazing place! Food is excellent and reasonably priced, staff are very friendly and helpful and don't rush you out. Will definitely be going back x

Must visit if you ever are visiting Chester. Their breakfast is top notch. Great portions and everything is freshly made.

Fantastic pancakes, divine masala omelette and truly exceptional service from the lovely owner of this cafe. Oh, and the coffee was brilliant as well!

Amazing food and lovely servers. Really recommend.

Me and my wife and my 2 boys popped in for breakfast. Lovely quirky pancake house, plenty of options on the menu. Friendly and lovely service. Decor was great. We all loved it and wished we had a place like this near us in Derbyshire....

Good food good service not too expensive would go again

Have been twice and was Greeted with a friendly smile as we came in the service was excellent and the food we had was delicious would definitely go again

Travelled all the way from Shrewsbury with my daughters just to come visit you, and as ever we were happy to make the trip 😊
