PANCAKE DAY may have crêped up on some of us.

But that didn't stop visitors at The Brooks Shopping Centre in Winchester enjoying a pancake-flipping competition in the lead-up to Shrove Tuesday.

Comedy chefs were on hand for four free sessions throughout the day on February 25 for the public to try out their tossing skills.

The chefs gave a pancake cookery demonstrations before putting their creations to the test.

The winning pancake toss was a whopping 119cm high, and the winner John Howard received a hamper full of prizes for making pancakes at home, including ingredients and a crêpe maker.
