And Llanelli’s biggest bakery will be doing their bit to mark Pancake Day
“Pancakes are popular all the year around at all of our shops,” said Jenkins the Bakers director and company secretary David Jenkins.
“But all our shops will be making a special effort with pancakes on Tuesday.
“We reckon that we sell something like 15,000 pancakes every Shrove Tuesday, so you can see how popular they are.
“In fact, we sell different varieties – we have a fruit pancake and a plain pancake and this year we are experimenting with a chocolate chip pancake
“The order book from our shops already totals more than 15,000 pancakes, in their different varieties, for Shrove Tuesday!”
Mr Jenkins added: “This is a busy time of year for us as we start to put out a special range of typically Welsh products to mark St David’s Day.
“We pride ourselves as being a bakery business which knows its customers and we know how people love to celebrate different events such as St David’s Day and Shrove Tuesday.”
The Jenkins bakery employs 300 people, full and part-time, across 25 different stores in South Wales.
The company has the Gold Standard Welsh Food Hygiene Award and the Investors in People award.
