I visited Pots and Pancakes in May 2017 after moving away from the Northeast, and was very impressed. The shop actually looks bigger, much brighter and more welcoming than it did before, I could not believe the difference, very impressed. The staff still very helpful and friendly, even tho some changes, and still serving up lots of different pancakes, a variety of sandwiches, a very good menu altogether, need help with an allergy and they will help you in anyway, to make your visit more enjoyable. Lots of new things happening also, instead of painting this time, I had an elephant moneybox and covered it in a ball like putty (photo below) as very hard to explain. Very different, but most enjoyable.

We had a really pleasant couple of hours here. Nice park to stroll through, with various planted areas to look at and explore, a long history to investigate, parts of the park date back to medieval times and a pet cemetary. This is a place for all the family to enjoy. In the centre is a large pond with duck. There is a play area and BMX / skate park.
