Gino's Gelato to Give Away Thousands of FREE Crêpes Across The Country This Pancake Tuesday

Gino's Gelato is marking Pancake Tuesday 2026 with its biggest giveaway yet, offering FREE traditional crêpes to customers across 29 stores nationwide on Tuesday, 17th February, from 9am–12pm.

Available on a first-come, first-served basis, customers can enjoy a complimentary traditional crêpe with lemon, butter and sugar at participating stores nationwide*. With this much-loved event drawing massive crowds year after year, early arrival is strongly recommended. This year’s celebration is even sweeter, as Gino’s Gelato officially launches its brand-new 2026 crêpe menu, featuring indulgent newcomers including Biscoff and Snickers Specials, alongside a range of delicious new flavour combinations set to delight crêpe lovers nationwide.  

Customers wanting to upgrade their crêpe can add Nutella for just €2, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Children's Health Foundation, supporting children's hospitals in Temple Street, Crumlin, Connolly and Tallaght.

Pancake Tuesday has become a beloved tradition at Gino's Gelato, with queues snaking around the block each year as thousands of customers turn out for the limited-time giveaway. The event reinforces Gino's Gelato's longstanding partnership with the Children's Health Foundation, raising vital funds for sick children across Ireland.

Jonathan Kirwan, founder of Gino's Gelato, said:

"Pancake Tuesday has become one of the highlights of our year. The energy and excitement from our customers is incredible, and we love being able to give back to the community while supporting such an important cause. We're expecting another record turnout this year, so my advice is simple: get there early!"

With 29 stores spanning Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford, Wicklow, Mayo, Limerick, Wexford and Kildare, Gino's Gelato has established itself as one of Ireland's fastest-growing artisan gelato brands. 

The free crêpe giveaway will be available from 9am–12pm on Tuesday, 17th February at all Gino's Gelato stores except Liffey Valley, which will not be participating in this promotion.
