Dudley's pancake house in Barnet

For the past two years, each time we have driven past this little restaurant I have wanted to try it as it looks so inviting.

Last week, on the way back from the hospital we popped in and were horrified at the prices. The pancakes were £10.45 each!

Jim ordered one with a combination of ingredients like mushrooms and ham etc and it was presented unfolded on a massive plate, but was actually no bigger than the ones they make in the mobile vans you see around the place, which are folded.

It was ok, but pretty tasteless and certainly not worth the money.

I opted for a homemade burger, which I asked for rare.  The patty turned out to be just over a cm thick and consequently very well done (but not in the good sense!).

With a cup of tea and a smoothie we paid just under £30 - a rip-off.

Won't be going there again!
