Reviews of The Pancake House

C. G.

Really good choice to grab some quick brunch! Staff were friendly and was happy to help. They helped guide us to our outdoor table and told us how to order from the app. Really great selection on the menu for both sweet and savoury options. Pancake was really delicious! And my partner enjoyed the omelette which had an range of meats in. Only downside was the drinks took 35 minutes and arrived after our food, which was really needed considering the sweet pancakes. So half way through my partner had to drink an can from his bag. We would Definitely visit again though!

L. F.

The food came very quickly within 5 minutes! I had lunch with my friends and the staff were very friendly. The food was very tasty and good value. There was also a soft play for young children to play while waiting. Overall, 5 stars definitely.

Visited the famous CenterParcs Pancake House, have grown up with the tradition that as soon as you touch down at Center Parcs it's straight to the Pancake House for lunch and dinner! However quality of food was ok, not amazing as I remember it, It kind of went cold quick. The prices can be regarded as slightly expensive for what you get but its part of the experience. The monster pancake stack with oreos is a popular choice and if it’s just a snack you’re after, then won’t go wrong with nachos! All in all a decent experience. Not the best Pancake House we've been to but wouldn't disregard the possibility of returning to this one. Have a lovely time at CenterParcs!

Stopped by for a quick lunch - the initial order taking was a bit slow but the food then arrived quickly. Ordered the meat feast pancake (small, which was plenty big enough) and a Coke Zero. Not overly expensive and impressive amount of gluten free options. Closes at 17:00 which is quite early really but nice location on the lake.

T. W.

We went there with our family including 2 young grandchildren. The food was excellent. I would definitely recommend the chicken and mushroom pancake. The soft play area was a hit with the little ones.

T. L.

Decided to grab something as a quick brunch before our adventure golf, and it was a good choice. Seated with a booking quickly and had a choice of tables be it very busy that was a nice touch, we ordered the Banofee Waffle and Banofee Regular pancake stack, they came in about 35 minutes which wasn't the quickest for dessert food but it was extremely busy and they explained the Waffle iron kept sticking so they wanted to get it right. Thoroughly enjoyed and destroyed both items of food, which we visited more times than once.

G. R.

Friendly staff and I enjoyed my pancake. However the service is really slow and the customer care could be more attentive. I was hoping for a stack of pancakes but got one big pancake. Nevertheless, it tasted good and that’s all that matters, ultimately. If they could sort out the speed of service, I’d probably go back.

G. D. (.

Staff make this an exceptional experience. I really enjoyed the Banana Pancake staff. It was good value for money and came as a large plate. I struggled to finish it. Worth a visit as child friendly and a very enjoyable experience.

K. H.

It's a good place to take your kids and can be noisy without too much drama! Food was fine, sticky American style pancakes! You get what you expect!

P. N.

Great place to go for a savoury or sweet pancake. Also serve large omelettes with many toppings. Good portions and great for the kids. Long wait for food on Mondays mid day due to it being extremely busy. Can't book ahead.

S. W.

Lovely experience visiting this restaurant today with my wife and three little ones. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Food was nice and kids meals ample. Would like to say thank you to the Restaurant Manager Andrew Frazer who was extremely helpful and a pleasure to meet. Credit for moving from Australia to sunny Woburn! Top Tip: Go with an open mind and enjoy what is on offer for quality family time. Hope to visit again in the morning so distant future.

K. N.

The customer service was excellent. They gave us time and were very patient with our seating arrangements and orders. Food was perfect. Loved it.

B. A.

Awesome, Dutch pancakes taste amazing! Kids loved their pancakes and the staff adjusted orders to meet the needs of the kids with ease. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a family-friendly restaurant with savoury and sweet options.

M.

The pancake House was a lovely place to have our breakfast. Although we didn’t have a reservation before, they were so helpful and friendly, they gave us a table and explained for us the way to order and pay. We received our order within 20 minutes. The pancake was so delicious especially the original with maple syrup. The restaurant was clean, and the prices are reasonable. It is highly recommended.

D. M.

Food was good but the service really lets it down. It seemed like none of the staff had any idea of what they were supposed to be doing - mainly wandering around with plates of food, not sure for which table. Repeatedly had to ask for some water for the dogs and where our order was. 4/5 peoples food arrived. Nearly an hour for the last persons to arrive. Also hard to find someone to actually take payment.

K. L.

Fantastic gluten free menu, and the pancakes tasted amazing! Service was ok, however we were served by multiple different people.

H. W.

They were a bit short staffed when I visited but they were friendly & service was good. Goats cheese pancake could have had more toppings because half of it was plain without any cheese or caramelised onion on it. Cookie monster pancake stack was nice.

F. I.

Slow service. Food and staff great.

T. 2.

Pros -wonderful and patient staff -food beautifully presented -child friendly restaurant theme -right next to waterfront so easy to find Cons - no very early or very late opening hours for children and adults with autism - though beautiful, pancakes were cold/luke warm when served - no salt or pepper on table for savory pancakes

G. F.

Fine for loading up tummies. But it is overpriced for pancakes, and service is incredibly slow considering they are serving the same product repeatedly. The room is also very noisy and sunlight blinds, so not a great experience.

J. P.

Food wasn't bad at all, service was slow and staff a bit miserable. Kids enjoyed it.

M. V.

Lovely treat, good value for money and they look and taste delicious. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area.

D. J. K.

We as a family visited the Pancake house at Centre Parcs Woburn today and once we had queued for 15mins we were greeted by the manager who asked if we had booked and unfortunately we hadn’t and he explained they were very busy and short on staff but none the less He proceeded to find us a table regardless What an absolute gent, And even more to the point regardless of the shortage of staff and being under pressure the servicing staff were on point and very polite and courteous,there are certainly a few establishments that could learn from this team….Well done to you all and a huge thank You from Myself and family who thoroughly enjoyed…..x

J. S.

Very accommodating, friendly staff, good portion sizes, and even managed to cater for both Gluten and Dairy intolerance! 😁 Pancakes weren't very hot on arrival, but then we were a very large party so that may be why.

D. K.

In photo: regular chocolate dream cake pancake (about £10.50) and pink lemonade (about £3). Both were bland and had made me feel sick afterwards. The lemonade just tasted like liquidised sweetener with no flavour. The pancake did not look like it did in the photo and I was thoroughly disappointed!

L. J.

Had an enjoyable meal here with good service. The food is fine, if i went again I would order the American pancakes. They seem to use the American Pancake batter for all of the meals. Don't expect crepes, but thick pancakes. The belgian waffles arent Belgian but American waffles. This used to be my favourite place at Center Parcs, but i think they need to update their menu.

G. G.

Fairly mediocre. Had to send my breakfast omelette back as the ingredients in the omelette (sausage and bacon) were lukewarm. We were first through the doors in the morning but clearly they’re using pre-cooked extras for the omelettes and pancakes but maybe not heating them enough when being cooked to order. The staff however were great with me sending it back and the replacement came through warmer. At least I didn’t need to do the washing up since someone else cooked.

J. C.

The food is always yummy but ut is very slow service , just a personal opinion though. ^_^

S. R.

Our food was tasty (a mix of pancakes and waffles) and the staff were friendly. When we visited you had to order through your phone which was fine. The main reason to lose some marks was the wasps. When our food arrived three or four wasps arrived too and were such a nuisance we switched tables (which the staff were happy to help with). We were inside and the problem looked even worse outside with one table of diners forced inside by the wasps when their food arrived

K.

Fun food, but pricey but great for summer

T.

Nothing else to say but BEST RESTAURANT EVERRR!!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS AMAZING! : staff, taste, smell, location everything amazing!!!!!

S.

Food was decent at most, not great, the staff were nice enough to let us sit in prior to formal opening for breakfast. The limited options and the phone ordering wasn’t ideal; and once the establishment began getting busy we felt quite unattended to by staff.

R. T.

OMG. The pancakes here are to die for. Savoury or sweet they are all perfect. There's no need to eat anywhere else ever again. If you don't eat here then you've missed a treat. Why aren't these places on the high street??

N. H.

Was worried about not getting a table just after opening time on Sunday after reading reviews on here but we got one for 7 of us with no problem. The fluffy American stacks were tasty and the two that had omelettes were happy with them. The kids menu for pancake is very limited so the 3 kids had to order adult portions. My son has allergies so we had to order the vegan apple pancake - the recipe was very poor. It could have bounced off the ceiling! The thin dessert pancakes tasted eggy to me but the kids were happy. Overall it was overpriced - £75 for 7 breakfasts. Staff were very friendly and I had no problem with the cleanliness of the place unlike other reviewers

A. H.

Overall nice location, service not the fastest and I would avoid the orange juice.

B. T. B. T. F.

Came here twice during visit in Centre Parcs first occasion was great, 2nd time was told there was a 10 minute wait for a table, we waited 20 minutes then were put on a wobbly table, thankfully moved to a non wobbly table food was great both times which made up for it

D. C.

Just been to Centre Parks Woburn Pancake House. Lovely space, location and nice staff. We ordered a whole vaierty of hot drinks from the awesome looking menu. Drinks were a bit slow to turn up, but manager Justin was very expedient and attentive at correcting the situation and making everything right! Looking forward to pancakes soon! Highly recommend!

J. S.

Loved it here. We visited twice while at Centre Parcs. Really family friendly, no one will bat an eyelid if your kids are noisy. They gave the kids balloon animals which is a nice touch. I recommend the American Pancakes - it feels like you get better value for money than you get for an omelette. The pancakes seem more spectacular, somehow. What would have been really good would be free refills of coffee. You pay quite a lot and after all that sweet stuff I felt like a needed a bit more coffee.

l. H.

Ordering via an app is slow and temperamental, after thirty minutes the waitress kindy took our order. Amazing food, fantastic healthy food.

C. B.

Had breakfast with the family there. Lovely views either across the lake or the forest. Great coffee, tasty pancakes and good service too. There is even a little soft play pen to keep your little ones occupied while you wait. 4 stars as I found it a little too expensive with that said I we are going back tomorrow morning for more of the same!

J. A.

Great place to go with lovely views across the lake, which always has some activity around it. They always have the best pancakes you can buy, but remember your wallet it isn't cheap for pancake heaven. The actual building is a bit small for the number of people they allow in, it would be much nicer if there was a smaller limit on how many people allowed in.

S. S.

Probably the best place to eat in Center Parcs hand down. All the pancakes are amazing!

T. H.

A grey selection of sweet and savory pancakes and waffles. Some sound far out, I had the BBQ pancake, with bacon, BBQ sauce and more 🤔🤔, actually loved it. Gutted as I was too full to then have a desert pancake stack 😁😁. Like everything else on park, it's not the cheapest but in this case I didn't mind as the food was good, so was the service. If the price was a little more realistic it would have a full 5 🌟 review.

S. B.

Great choice of delicious pancakes and friendly staff

D. R.

Always a hit with our family. Lots of interesting pancake varieties. We loved the savoury pancakes but admit that the chocoholic pancake was really delicious. Great service and friendly staff.. Yum yum yummy!!!

M. C.

This place is a bit confused. They have some fully loaded pancakes, like an all day breakfast on a pancake. Didn't really appeal to me. They seem to lead with the savoury offer and I would prefer more selection of sweet waffles and pancakes but maybe I didn't read the menu properly. Incredibly noisy and hectic inside so we opted to sit outside on a miserable day (but then we were obviously disturbed by the resident center Parcs wasps). Staff were great and polite, and the kids love it but was a bit disgruntled at paying £9 for a maple syrup pancake. I had an American stack with bacon and maple syrup and it was good (but obviously very sicky so I couldn't finish it).

E. S.

On my Center Parcs holiday, I went to The Pancake House 3 times and every time we went, it was amazing. The food was delicious and filling. The only disappointment was, there was a very long wait for food and the toilets were not clean! It is a great setting by the lake as well.

J. W.

The ultimate family friendly place to eat. Good indoor soft play area and staff very children tollerent. Excellent menu both sweet and savoury. Pancake omelette and waffle perfection. Just a shame there are not more of these places.

S. W.

One of the best parts of the Center Parcs experience has to be the Pancake House. Just delicious. Good service. Friendly staff. When I told my granddaughter that we were going to the new CP at Woburn (rather than Elveden as before) her first question was 'have they got a Pancake House?' They have and it's great.

L. P.

Food great. Decor shabby. Staff friendly

D. F.

Great food at worburn pancake house. Omletter a little dry I like it greasy lol ! I went for cheese option next time was amazing. Had black forest stack was amazing. Kids loved there meals both times. Considering we had food poisoning from hucks at worbrun when we arrived we went on to try pancake house ( those that were well) ! And was not let down . Amazing. The next day when all kids better we had another meal as first day so amazing. Great staff great cooks all helpful clean tables. No one cleaning tables with sprays as u eat unlike hucks! !! Great service thanks guys !!!

J. C.

Overrated, especial for a centerparcs flagship restaurant. Slow service on initial order. Nice enough food but not wow. A lot of dirty, empty, tables Additional star for replacing kids spilt drink. Entirely the kids fault.

S. W.

Lovely pancakes& a great choice of gluten free too. Lost 1 star as it's quite pricey, as are most things at Center Parcs but for a nice treat it's well worth a visit.

S. P.

My daughter works here as a supervisor & she brought us here for breakfast. Food was great & staff were lovely.

A. H.

Great food, great staff, definitely going again!

P. J.

Wonderful time we had at breakfast experiencing delicious savoury & sweet pancakes. All delivered with friendly smiling young people ( even at 9am).

S. B.

Nice meal served by pleasant staff.

A. M.

Really tasty food. Big portions. Quick service. Good atmosphere.

D. S.

Fantastic place, huge menu and every consevable combination for your american or european pancake. Staff are fantastic with children like everywhere in the park. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

j. r.

Pancakes were amazing, service wasn't great as it took 30 minutes for our food to come out this is why I couldn't give them 5 stars, But the pancakes were worth the wait I would go again

C. M.

Food is great, but very expensive. We have been here twice, the first time it was so busy we had to wait outside this time there was no wait for a table and the service was quick. The staff were very friendly and the food was good but as with most things Center Parcs it was more expensive than it needed to be.

D. S.

Went with my family. Staff were friendly and the food was good. We've decided to go back one more time while we are here.

r. s.

A visit here is a must every time we stay at center parcs. Pancakes or waffles. They're equally fab! Only downside is the queues if you time it wrong, but the staff are always lovely.

R. F.

Very friendly staff, the gluten free menu is really tasty. They're generous with serving portions. Very yummy food!!!

C. H.

Great food and service really quick. Great to sit outside in fantastic weather outside the lake.

R. E.

Good food, pricey all-round for what it is. Milkshakes are just flavoured milk, small, nothing special avoid for the price. Food is tasty and good. Place for children.

q.

Went for breakfast, good service was sat quickly, good food but nothing special, ordered the new Yorker (pancakes with bacon) and the blueberry pancakes, Orange juice not fresh squeezed

N. W.

The Pancake House at Centre Parc in Woburn is so good. Their menu introduced me to savoury pancakes, and oh my god they're amazing.

G. T.

Nice food but very expensive. Tried one of the new milkshakes at £5 which are a complete rip off - would recommend you avoid these as they are expensive and very small compared to what I'd expect to get!

l. L.

Great food and lovely staff

J. M.

Pretty good savory pancakes and nice staff, I cannot however ,overlook the unforgivable sin of not having proper maple syrup. Outbloodyragous if you ask me

S. K.

Great choice and great pancakes, friendly staff and quick service. As with most things in Center Parc's a tad expensive.

T. C.

Food was lovely, but why would you shut the Pancake house at 3pm on a Monday with a captive audience in the park! Very strange and annoying.

m. l.

took a while before courses, apparently the pancakes were a bit dry (ice cream may of helped) food was good and hot tho

J. W.

Love Pancake House. Huge menu and all pretty nice. Fairly expensive but to be expected at Center Parcs. Usually pretty busy too

Visited today (Tue) for a table for 3 and had not booked. We were seated swiftly and ordered quickly too. Kids menu had a game and crayons which kept my son busy. Shame the kids menu doesn't have pancakes and maple so had to order the boy an adult size! Food came out quickly and was delicious. Was disappointed there was no omelettes available today, maybe they ran out of eggs. Staff were friendly and service swift. Large gluten free options and 1 vegan option. Had a lovely brunch and morning on holiday!
