THE Three Wishes restaurant in Sherborne will be holding its famous pancake race in Cheap Street later this month.

The fun race will take place on February 16 at 11am and proceeds from the race will be donated to Sherborne Rugby Club which is raising money to build a new clubhouse.

Local businesses are once again encouraged to enter teams to win prizes for their work mates and also as the date falls during half term, school children are invited to take part for the first time, and can enter teams from their school.

The Three Wishes head chef Brett Sutton said: “Last year the numbers involved were fantastic, we had so many entrants that we had to have three heats and I almost ran out of frying pans!

“On Shrove Tuesday we hope to see even more people taking part and as schools can now get involved we may even have a separate race for children with their own special prize!”

Fastest flipper 2010 will win a tea party at The Three Wishes for a group of six!

Entry into the race will cost only £1 per person on the day with pancakes and frying pans provided.

The Three Wishes will also be selling pancakes all day with proceeds going to Sherborne Rugby Club.
