Pancake House in Rushcliffe

Been coming for some years now. Staff always great but it seems the servings have shrunk but the price has not. Used to get more than 3 tiny pancakes and I believe it may be changing for next year but it's shrinkflation at the moment with 3 small pancakes. £10.50 for the pancakes serving with bacon.

Don't sit anywhere near the entrance!, Center Parcs could easily resolve the entrance door that is constantly in use blowing freezing cold air through the restaurant, making guests and the food cold. Add a second door to the lobby! Food is ok, staff are excellent.

Severely overpriced for adults portions. You get 1 extra pancake than the children's and it's an extra £6-7!! The food was lovely, I just think it's very expensive for what can't cost a lot!

Absolute joke - £10.95 for 3 tiny pancakes and 4 tiny strips of cold bacon - this place used to be good - avoid

Cost for portion size is a bit off (classic center parcs) but was nice overall to be fair with good service.

Two stars. What has happened to the pancake house? Portions have halved and prices has double, with a smaller menu and still poor service this restaurant is almost unrecognisable. Which is a shame and if centre parcs keep cost cutting I don’t think they can call it a luxury experience

Poor service.Took far too long to serve.Should of offered drinks when we got seated.Theh had to wait another 1/2 hour for 3 children's pancakes

Kylie at the pancake House when we went at 12.30pm on Sunday was the opitamy of good customer service, she couldn't do enough for us and was genuinely friendly and courteous, an absolute credit to Centre Parcs. We value good customer service and our stay was complemented by Kylie's attentiveness and friendly professionalism. Please let her know. Niall the Manager who book us on was also fantastic. Thank You.

Good food, great service, great selection although obviously pancake based! and although busy fast service too.

We booked at 10.45am on Sunday morning and arrived to carnage ...a massive queue outside the door of other people who had also booked. It took us 30 minutes to get a table and another 20 for someone to order our drinks. The place is clearly a little goldmine yet they are being skimpy with staff ! And why they are booking so many people in when they don't have the staff to cater for them is beyond me. The food wasn't worth waiting for. Small portions and went cold really quickly as the plates were freezing. It is also very overpriced for what you get. We ate in all the restaurants at Centre Parcs during our stay - all the others were great but we would never return here.

Really enjoy my time at the pancake house

The Pancake House was both delicious and welcoming at Sherwood Forest Center Parcs. We came with two small children and hadn't book but were able to find a table during a busy morning. We were extremely welcomed by Aidan! He is such a kind and caring person who made our 3 year old sons visit very special. He remembered him throughout our stay and we made multiple visits here as were we so happy to come back to such a lovely friendly place. Huge thank you!!!!

Disgusting value for money some one should be ashamed for this. 11 quid for tiny pancakes and a few tiny strips of bacon Nearly 4 quid for a tiny Pepsi First lot was sent back after being served cold We’ve some pictures of when we were last here a few years back and the portions have shrunk as much as the prices gone up loads.

Nice service. Terrible food. I ordered the pancakes with syrup and bacon. I got flakey, yet inexplicably doughy anaemic pancakes with a syrup that looked like hangover wee and a few tiny bits of bacon. I feel posthumously sorry for the pig that was wasted on that. No one finished their food. Avoid at all costs - which brings me to "HOW MUCH???" Inside it's more like a creche than a restaurant. Bright white and no atmosphere other than the screams of all the children, presumably protesting at the poor food they're being served.

Great Pancakes very nice staff and efficient service.

I had a savory pancake (chicken) and it was disgusting. Salty and mushy.. Proabaly my fault for trying a savoury pancake... But still.. Never again. I suggest sticking to sweet ones.

Same as everything else, just too expensive for what it is

Really sweet staff, but the food... My pancake was *extremely* dry, on top of being served lukewarm. When I asked for butter, I was given a clump of ice cold butter. Upon putting the butter on my pancake, it got colder instead of the butter melting. Same issue with my hot chocolate; it arrived lukewarm (but tasted rather nice).

Outrageous, Tiny pancakes, like the scotch pancakes from Tesco, still took 45mins to get them! Avoid at all costs!

We've visited here on our all of our Center Parcs holidays since 1997. We had a disappointing experience on this occasion. Hopefully a one off

Very disappointed. Our waffle and American pancakes were very mediocre and I would say pre made and served cold. We expected good quality ice-cream served on warm fresh pancakes and waffles but was given generic packet food served cold. Really bad. As it was all pre made service was quick and staff friendly

Very nice pancakes, pretty good service on the whole but VERY expensive. We ordred 3 portions of pancakes and 2 glasses of lemonade and it came to £53.00 !!!! This seems very extortionate !

The food was mediocre 😕 and presentation was not that good and was very overly priced. But the staff were very friendly.

Too expensive for what it is, but still very good

The service we had was very good and the food was fine. However, it feels outdated and unreasonable to insist that the female waitresses have to wear tights with their skirts regardless of the season (25 degrees when we visit).

We went to The Pancake House twice during our 4 night stay. Both times the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. I tried the vegetarian breakfast on French toast and the lotus biscoff French toast, both of which I would have again. My partner had the all day brunch and Italian omelettes. We did find it a bit strange that you couldn’t just order pancakes/waffles with mix and match toppings, especially on the children’s menu as our daughter just wanted Nutella on pancakes. We hadn’t been to Centre Parcs before so can’t compare it to the old menu. The reason for only giving it 4 stars is that the portions are small, to the point where you are barely full afterwards, so it is expensive for what it is. However, we couldn’t fault the service.

Nice location on the lake with lovely views of everyone on their boats, but the food was awful here! We had such high hopes for this place and had promised our kids a visit as a treat after kayaking. Our lovely waitress was really welcoming but after we had eaten she asked was everything alright. We were honest and expressed our disappointment. She was really apologetic and took money off our bill for the poor quality of the pancakes with bacon (bacon was overcooked, dry and disintegrated when cut with a knife) and the fruit smoothie (tasted watery and seemed to have hardly any fruit in it). Maybe we were just unlucky but if this is the quality of the food on site, probably best give the restaurants a miss and cook for yourself when staying here. Such a pity!

This place has really gone downhill. We used to love coming here, won't be back. The portion sizes are much smaller, quality not as good. This meal was a big disappointment. £2 for half a banana, £2 for a spoonful of mushed up sausage!!! Tiny portion of maple syrup. Only saving grace was service.

After visiting several times over the years, this was the first time I have been disappointed. They have a new menu, one of the staff said its a love it or hate it menu. In the past, we never left hungry. This time, we did. In the past we had to wait to get a table even when we booked. This time the place nearly deserted. Still great staff and great service. But the menu Very disappointing 😞.

Staff are they only great thing about this place. The quality of the actual pancakes is terrible. We tried it on different days to make sure it wasnt just a bad day. I get that it is easy costumers as you are already in a park and the only breakfast spot, but come on, not to this extent. That been said, I loved the presentation on the tray, the whipped cream was perfect, chocolate sauce was 👎👎👎, the amount of strawberry and banana could have been better, white chocolate drops was amazing. Over priced for the quality

Had pancakes and waffles with family here and the service was great.

So disappointing! We have been visiting Center Parcs at Sherwood for 15 years and a visit to the pancake house has always been a highlight. Previously you would receive a huge stack of pancakes layered with filling. Sadly this time we received three sad pancakes, a few tiny pieces of bacon and very small thimble of maple syrup. This was all hoovered up in two seconds by my hungry family. The service was also extremely slow with long waits. I have attached two photos- one from two years ago to show how wonderful it used to be and one from yesterday.

Lovely food. Expensive. Annoying about the surcharge. I would have paid more to be honest. But next time i will ask for it removing. And pay what i think is worth it.

I was really looking forward to my annual visit to the pancake house. What a disappointment. Pancakes were tasteless, portions were small, especially the New Yorker. Very expensive as we went to the lodge afterwards to have some more food. Won't go again.

All food served was luke warm on cold plates. All day brunch tastless on an overcooked omlete. Red berry french toast very tasty , lavatza coffee very bitter and dark roast possibly been stewed too long. I normally love lavatza coffee. Very noisy atmosphere. Waited nearly 40 mins for food Waitres's generaly very nice and helpful

Have visited the centre parcs pancake house for the last 4 years. It was a must ! This year however we, a family of 7 were extremely disappointed. Booked a table to 4:30, arrived and the place had 1 other family in, no one else. Place was clean and tidy. Drink order took a very long time to arrive. Then the food arrived which was different in size and quality from previous years. A lot smaller, tiny ‘scotch’ pancake size with a few strips of bacon, pancakes had no taste. Definitely not American style pancakes as advertised. Bacon was nice. One guest had a omelette which was padded out with jalapeños difficult to find the other contents. All of us were disappointed with the quality and the portion size especially at the inflated price. Left understanding why the place was empty Won’t visit again.

Food was cold and overpriced would avoid like the plague

We love to come here when we come on holiday. The menu had changed this year and omg my absolute favourite lemon meringue pancake it was so good. We are coming back in November and I will definitely be having it again

Amazing staff and atmosphere. Second time in CP and kids always want to eat here. We never learn and are always so disappointed with the food. Shame.

Came here for a 30th Birthday breakfast. Service was top-notch from staff with a specially decorated 30th birthday plate when the drinks arrived. We were able to sit on the balcony which was nice on a hot summers day. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. My partner did not enjoy her French toast big breakfast but I found my dutch apple pancakes to be tasty. I would likely not return in a rush but it's a reasonable option.

I've never been a big savoury pancake guy, but my girlfriend insisted we went down for lunch one day. You do need to book, but this is a must visit fr. I had the pancake with the breakfast meats, absolutely slapped. Was considering going twice. Very loud in there and a lot of kids running round, but it is center parcs so that's to be expected, same for the price

Great experience in the Pancake House. Staff are super friendly and will engage with your young ones making them feel included. Despite being right next to the beach the restaurant is clean and so are the loos. The food was stunning. I'm not a fan of omelet but I was in the mood for something savoury so went for it. First omelet ive ever enjoyed. Tad expensive but the food is worth it.

Awful meal, over priced small helpings. I ordered the omelette but it was so thin and dry I couldn’t eat it. I was with family and none were impressed.

Not worth the money and not worth the time waiting for meals, portions are very small and disappointing in taste. I would save your money and use it on another activity in the park. Don't pay the service charge if you waste time going, the bacon and sausages are cheap produce and the scramble eggs were done in the microwave.

No go area for families, just not worth the money. Serve charge always added but not worthy of a service charge. Don't waste your money and spend money on something better. The drinks are very expensive and the tea is very weak.

Took ages to get 2 stodgy tasteless pancakes accompanied by a dry lemon and half an orange that looked like it had been sitting fridge for a week. Staff were nice, food and waiting times were awful

Horrendous! Waited 55 mins for cold pancakes & paid £60 for a family of 4. Terrible & wouldn’t recommend it at all!

The food when we eventually received it was OK, the waitress was so apologetic about the waiting time and brought snacky items for the extremely fed up 7yr and 5yr old Grandchildren . All in all, after over a 50min wait the uncomplicated order arrived. This was situated at Center Parcs Sherwood Forest.

No complaints with the food, service or atmosphere etc. The prices are rediculously high for everything. If you have children, be prepared to spend at least a hundred pounds. They must make thousands each day so could make portions bigger at least.

Absolutely amazing, all meals were so nice, only finest ingredients used, great atmosphere and service. Thank you

First time to the PH on our 7th center parcs trip....... Also the last. Better places to eat that are better value for money.

Tasty food and not too wildly priced, though the pancakes themselves are multiple smaller 3-4" ones than traditional American pancakes which are often 6-8" Hungry adults will probably need seconds bumping price up but everything we tried as a group of 4 adults, 2 four years olds and a 5 month old was good.

First, the staff were friendly and hard working although we did have to wait some considerable time for our order. Second, those who ordered the sweet pancakes had very enjoyable meals however, the two savoury pancakes were very disappointing indeed. Both lacked the any decent amount of the stated meats and in reality it was hard to see any at all. Third, the tea (supposedly an infusion of leaves in boiling water) was brought as a tea bag in a covering bag and a pot of hot water, ready for the customer to begin the infusion process. So, another disappointment. They should learn how to do it properly from other establishments on the site!

We popped into Pancake House for my birthday lunch during our holiday, and I must say, the food was fantastic! I went for the carnivore omelette, while my wife got The Sicilian pancakes. We also tried the nachos, but I felt they could've used a lot more cheese. For dessert, I went for the Milky Bar and raspberry pancakes. The only downside was that the portions were a bit on the small side for the price. Nevertheless, the staff were faultless and made our experience enjoyable.

Cute but unremarkable. Staff very nice but slow service with the restaurant about 70% full. Found it very expensive for what you get, 3 small pancakes with some vegan bacon (while the fake bacon was very good) at £11.50 and £3.50 for a pot of tea , is excessive. The vegan pancakes were surprisingly tasty but several others in our party were disappointed with the quality of their dishes.

First stop after crazy golf. Awesome 👌🏽

Just visited, no dairy free, pancakes overpriced and very plain, not great service, won't return or recommend

We are vegans, and we were very pleased to see some choice now.

Wait times ridiculous- 40mins for something that takes 2mins to cook and 1min to prep Service poor No value for money - food only ok Drink Wells overpriced but true for whole Park Good views of beach and lake Small OK area for under 3's - just wish that parents wouldn't let older kids in and spoil it.

Every time we boom at trip to center parcs we always have to visit the pancake house,and it didn’t disappoint this time the staff are always very friendly so it out to jill who was very attentive even writing me a birthday card for my 50th it’s always busy and always great food

It’s been 40 minutes and I’m still waiting

We've visited here every time we've come to centre parcs. You're missing out if you don't have breakfast here! I always go for the New Yorker. My kids love the fresh fruit pancakes. I ordered tea, and it came in a tea pot, so you can get a couple of cups out of it. My kids love the milk shakes. There is a small soft play suitable for small children, and we could keep an eye on them from where we were sitting. The service was good and the staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend the pancake house. It's also got a lovely view of the lake and its right next to the beach.

We were so disappointed they’ve stopped doing the sweet Dutch pancakes, the menu has changed and if you want a classic pancake with sweet toppings, like fruit, sauces and cream they would cost about £18, where as the American pancakes or waffles are £10.50. I’ve no idea why they can’t do any type of base with any of the toppings for the same price. We used to love the Savoury pancakes too, but now the savoury toppings are all weird combinations

Expensive for the portion size, but great service.

Remember years ago , when people from around the world would mock food in the UK. Well…here we go. Food was just very very average and expensive. It’s just unacceptable in this day and age. Pancakes felt packaged not home made, with a few sad little rashers of bacon. Luke warm coffee. Just not good enough guys.

Last time I came here was just after Center Parcs opened. Great pancakes for breakfast and service, but children running about unsupervised made me worry. The servers shouldn’t have to dodge small children whilst carrying hot food and drinks.

Amazing choice of 🥞 and delicious 😋

Great choice of pancakes both savory and sweet. Can be very busy. Staff always lovely though

Usually love this place at all Centre Parcs. We were told we were the last orders, and the pancakes were overpriced and not good value. Felt rushed. Had tea but arrived with teapot but teabag in cup? The lady was great. When considering sweet pancakes, the male server was abrupt and wanted us to choose sweet when hardly started the main course.

Great food. Always been very busy every time I have been, however, a must go to if you are in Centre Parks.

Delicious pancakes and good food in general 😋

Very disappointed with the food. Got a savory dish which appeared with a crust of burnt cheese covering everything. The pancake was nice but the topping was overcooked and unappealing. When it was flagged to serving staff they couldn't get away fast enough. Maybe the sweet pancakes are good but after already paying a lot for the meal we were not prepared to stay.

Mostly leaving this review for Jill because she is an absolute treasure and I'd eat here again just for her! The food is nice but expensive for what you get. The restaurant does get VERY busy so be prepared for lots of noise!

Booked for a 50th Birthday Breakfast. Omg the fruit pancakes with strawberry frosting was to die for. Not the cheapest but well worth it.

Not what it used to be. We’ve visited Center Parcs numerous times and have always enjoyed a breakfast and lunch here, but were sadly disappointed on this occasion. Venue was packed, with tables and chairs squashed together. We were seated directly in front of a “fire” exit, which was being used by guests and staff to get outside. Very cold and uncomfortable every time the door was left open. The food was below average, severely overpriced and took AGES to come. Seems like there may be staffing/kitchen issues that need resolving.

Paid £8.95 for a slice of toast and a few rashers of bacon... The group I was with ordered pancakes and they got a decent amount of food for the same price... Don't get the french toast. Rip off!

Great menu great service not the cheapest Staff very nice food nice lovely place to eat looking over to the boat lake and the beach next door and the zip wire

Dreadful, pancakes were stodgy and cheap but charged at premium. Some of the items looked out of date. Overall shockingly bad experience

Excellent omelettes..if a tad on the pricey side.

Fantastic pancakes 🥞 would recommend anything that's on the menu 👍🏻

Great experience here. Lovely food & great staff. Even had a soft play area for our toddler, which they sat us near

kept forgetting orders and half of us didn’t get our food for half an hour after the others

Staff were very good Food was good Perhaps a bit pricey for a family of our means but then Centre Parks is not a cheap holiday destination so priced accordingly

We had lunch here, twice because we liked so much. Great location beside Lake, wide food choices, remember you need to book.

Lots of options, I highly recommend trying something savoury as well as the sweet pancakes. The kids menu was a great price and everyone really enjoyed the food.

We were seated in a great position in the restaurant near a play area and were well looked after by the staff and everyone in our group enjoyed their food. Everything was served in good time too.

Lovely atmosphere with views of the lake, special thanks to our server that day, fantastic choice on menu catered for everyone

Pancakes for mains, then pancakes for dessert! Staff were really nice a friendly with our large group, and really good with the kids! However, on one occaision I was missing the cheese on my "Just-Cheese" omlette!

Great place for super indulgent sugary goodness and a Centerparcs staple for our family. The only downside is how rushed you feel considering how much you're spending. We literally ordered our drinks and they arrived with our food in less than 5 mins. So 10 mins in I had eaten and finished my drink. We were all done and paid in less than 25 minutes. I'll still go again but I'll stall the staff next time to drag it out a little to make the experience last longer .

Great staff really good food not that expensive

Compared to other places we ate at within Centre Parks, this was the best but even then it was only just about good. However, in comparison to the other eateries at centre parks, this was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive The dessert was great compared to the other offerings in Centre Parks and decent overall but nothing on a decent dessert parlour you’d find on the highstreet of most cities despite them charging a higher price point

no to bad I love pancake but the price its a bit over high

Food is bland and the pancakes are very average. The omlette had no salt. The chocolate sauce on the pancakes tasted like icecream choc sauce rather than real chocolate. Really not good.

Fantastic Sunday morning visit with the family. Four of us dined here and enjoyed every moment. Lovely location on the lake with super helpful and friendly staff. We had cookie dough, chocoholic, New York style and the farmers. All delicious a lovely experience all round. Would return 100%.

Great pancakes, a wide range of options, the waitress was great with our party, understanding the importance of one of our parties dietary requirements

We always end our trip with the pancake house and it never disappoints! If you’re at CP would recommend

Didn't eat here in the end. Quite expensive.

Good selection of different toppings and choices for pancakes. Good menu of savoury dishes as well. Great views over the lake.

Always our favourite place to come to end our trip! Food was lovely. Pancakes amazing and Jill who looked after us was fantastic Great GF options

Family of 8 including a baby so a large order. Service was very good especially from Mel the manager. Pancakes especially the desert ones were good. Yes it isn’t cheap but that’s what you expect from any of the Center Parcs restaurants in my long experience of staying there. So not entirely sure why the previous comments seem quite so surprised about the cost.
