The fancy dress competition was won by Cranstock – Surrey Choices, with the York Road Project coming second and both teams winning vouchers from Seafarers fish and chips.
Andy Denner, Woking Borough Council’s marketing communications manager, said: “We’re flippin’ delighted to have retained our trophy for a second year running. This year we absolutely battered the competition, so the weeks of pancake eating really did pay off!
“We managed to raise over £100 in the office which will be going to support a very good cause, so thank you to everyone who donated. Those pennies really do add up.

“But the real winners are Woking ShopMobility, so a big thank you to their volunteers and sponsors who made the event happen.”
A spokesman for Woking ShopMobility said the event, which is the charity’s main fundraiser, was on track to meet its £1,000 target.
There were 10 teams, including two from ShopMobility, in the event that is held every Shrove Tuesday.
“This year we were very lucky with the weather as it was lovely and sunny and the commentator from Eagle Radio helped to generate a lot of enthusiasm,” the spokesman said.
