    I recently ordered the kid's pancake, and unfortunately, it tasted off—extremely acidic, to the point that my daughter couldn’t eat it at all. I brought this to the staff's attention, expecting at least an alternative or some kind of gesture, but nothing was offered. To make matters worse, I was still charged the full price. As a long-time customer of Old Dutch Pancake, this was very disappointing. I’ve always enjoyed coming here, but after this experience, I’m not sure I’ll be returning.

    Great food and drink but very slow service. Surprising as pancakes you think would be a quick make.

    Really glad I came to My Old Dutch Pancake this was my first time. I liked the idea of the savoury and sweet pancakes. The menu has a very wide selection. I tried both a savoury and sweet pancake and boyyyy was I full after the first! But of course had to try the sweet too! The savoury pancake was like a pizza but on a pancake which was absolutely lovely. I had the create your own for both the savoury and the sweet which I did feel was overpriced per topping and probably an overly expensive option. I would definitely recommend coming here as had a lovely time with my mum and enjoyed the food. I would also however say that as there is a service charge on top of the quite heavily priced food the service could have been better and more frequent as we had to ask for the service more often that any staff coming over to the table.

    Not interesting for this price. We were there on Monday, so we get the lowest price for our dutch pancakes, but it was the maximum that I would pay. Moreover the waiter tried to persuade us to take the regular American pancakes (which have no price reduction). The pancakes itself were very good, unfortunately we didn't get all our order right (we get one pancake with chocolate instead of maple syrup). But they regular price is 14 £ it's insane !
