The Pancake Parlour is an Australian family-owned pancake restaurant chain, serving sweet and savoury pancakes and crepes with locations in Victoria and the ACT.
The first Pancake Parlour restaurant opened in Adelaide in 1965 as "The Pancake Kitchen" and has retained that name to this day with the original idea conceived by Roger Meadmore and Allen and Helen Trachsel. Meadmore moved to Sydney to open "Pancakes on the Rocks" and Allen and Helen moved to Melbourne. Nearly 50 years later, there are now 11 Melbourne restaurants. The Doncaster, Highpoint and Malvern East locations are open 24 hours a day.
Apart from their famous sweet and savoury pancakes and crepes they also serve fish, chicken, salads and scotch fillet steak as well as other breakfast dishes.
Scientology
The Pancake Parlour has gained some notoriety for purportedly being involved with, or even run by, the Church of Scientology.[1] Historical documents allegedly leaked from the Church show that the three founders of the company, Allen[2] and Helen Trachsel[3] and Roger Meadmore[4] are all involved in Scientology as is the current CEO, Simon Meadmore.[5] In his personal blog Roger Meadmore openly states he joined the Church in the late 50s and "stayed interested in Scientology all my life."[6] There has been no official statement about the relationship from either the Pancake Parlour or the Church of Scientology and the degree of involvement of the Church in the present day running and policies of the company is a matter of speculation and anecdotal evidence.
