Crom’s Pancake Tuesday – A Celebration of Spring, Sun, and Delicious Traditional PancakesLong before Shrove Tuesday became a Christian tradition, people across Europe celebrated the changing of the seasons with festivals marking the return of the sun and the arrival of spring.
In Ireland, this was tied to Crom, the last great pagan king, whose legacy lives on in ancient myths. Crom was said to be a powerful ruler in pre-Christian Ireland, and while later stories tell of St. Patrick defeating him, the truth is that his time marked the end of an era—one where nature, the sun, and the turning of the seasons were central to life. The tradition of making pancakes, golden and round like the sun, goes back to these early pagan festivals. It was a way to welcome back the light after the long, dark winter.
So, this Crom’s Pancake Tuesday, we’re bringing back that original spirit—welcoming the sun, enjoying great food and keeping a bit of Irish history alive. Join us for a feast of pancakes and drinks as we celebrate like the ancients did.
No fasting required—just good craic!
