Lentsherd (pronounced ‘Lanshard’) is an old Clovelly custom, which takes place on Shrove Tuesday.
At dusk, children set off ‘down-a-long’ to the harbour, dragging clattering tin cans tied to string. The cans are then tied together and thrown into the sea (to be later retrieved). The aim is to rid Clovelly of all the bad things from the previous year by chasing bad spirits away and driving the devil into the sea before Lent.
Children taking part can enjoy building a FREE pancake with ice cream, squirty cream, selection of fruit syrups or lemon juice and sugar to decorate with sprinkles and shavings toppings.
Grown-up pancakes all £3.50: Choose Chocolate Baileys ice cream and a real orange syrup, or Vanilla ice cream with berries in Cognac, or Rum Flambéed Bananas with clotted cream and a toffee sauce or a plain pancake with lemon and sugar.
Tea Time specials available too from 4:30 to 6:30 pm:
Fish and chips with peas and tartar sauce or Cheeseburger, chips and salad in a bun Adults: £6.50; Children: £5
