20 teams from local businesses will descend upon Borough Market to compete in the annual Better Bankside pancake race, now a regular Shrove Tuesday fixture for more than a decade.
Residents, passers-by and pancake aficionados are encouraged to come and show their support to the competitors, who will speed back and forth across Jubilee Place, flipping all the while.
Spectators can do more than just look at pancakes – they can also get their hands on some for consumption thanks to guest trader Crêpes à la Carte.
Funds raised from the team entry fees go to support the charity Paintings in Hospitals, based at the nearby Menier Gallery.
