Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Pots and Pancakes After Dragons’ Den?
Pots and Pancakes appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 4. The business was a ceramics cafe. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Shirley and Hayley Smith walked into the Den in 2011 with a ceramics cafe. They were asking for £50,000.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Shirley and Hayley Smith left the Den without backing.
