IS THIS the most extravagant pancake in the UK?

Most people are happy with sugar and lemon, others might prefer chocolate spread or jam, but Yorkshire’s only five-star hotel has created an extra-special dish this Pancake Day.

This extraordinary crepe is stuffed with lobster, caviar, champagne, smoked salmon mousse, and fennel, is served with a glass of Mumm Champagne on the side, and is only available at The Rise restaurant at York's Grand Hotel & Spa.

The pancake goes on sale from Monday, and costs £50, but Philip Bolson - general manager at the hotel - said the extravagant dish would be suitable for two notable events next week.

He said: "Our chefs are the best in the business, and they’ve outdone themselves with this recipe. The Rise’s head chef Monty Kanev has created a beautiful, delicate dish fit for the finest diners.

"Our recipe includes the freshest lobster, Caviar, and smoked salmon mousse. What’s more appropriate for a week that celebrates both Pancake and Valentine’s Day?"
