Edenshine in Flintshire

Having visited several times whilst staying at Herons Lake Retreat, we have always had gorgeous food with excellent service. Plenty of gluten free options with many delicious cakes to choose from. Staff really friendly, best to book.

Lovely food and service. Amazing cakes!

This was my first visit to this restaurant with my family. As well as the regular menu, they had the seasonal festive menu available. The roast chicken was done perfectly. Service was excellent and although they were full to capacity service was prompt. Make sure you reserve a table.

Excellent meal with brilliant (and friendly) service.

We all enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch. The food was all lovely and the service was first rate. The home made desserts were to die for and would highly recommend them. Be sure to make a booking as it is very popular.

Our family of four enjoyed a lovely birthday afternoon tea today at your restaurant. Beautifully prepared, presented and served. You were all so attentive and welcoming THANK YOU.

My family and I come here often. There is no better place to eat in the area. Fantastic food and lovely staff. They always make us feel welcome. Delicious food and very reasonable. Lots of choices on the menu. Never had a bad meal there.

We visited for a breakfast, food was amazing and staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside is the inside looks very old fashioned but that may be a bonus to other people.

A great jewel off the beaten track. The food was most excellent. Can't wait to return. So friendly as well 🙂.

Excellent food and friendly service.

My family came from Litchfield they thought your restaurant was outstanding. There was plenty of choice all round . My grandaughter has food allergies, and they looked after her so well. The service was fabulous. Defenetly we will be returning again.

I come here often and am jot disappointed. Good choice of gluten free food, and plenty of parking.

We had coffee and cake late morning. Fairly busy. Service prompt, friendly and helpful. Super range of cakes,desserts and drinks.

Lovely food, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings

Excellent home made food, service was excellent, you can sit by the river and the added bonus looking at all the antiques and gift shop

Edinshire restaurant is to be highly recommended. I have enjoyed amazing food hospitality at very reasonable prices recently and will return soon. Thank you management and all staff

Very busy at meal times.good range of snacks and hot meals at lunch times. Good food. Staff very pleasant and worked like clockwork to give good service,

Staff were really pleasant and helpful. Food was very nice (we tried gammon and steak & ale pie). Lovely atmosphere in the room. Will be back to try to the cakes which looked very tasty.

We had a delicious lunch. Food was tasty, freshly prepared , generous portions and very nicely presented. Staff were very friendly, helpful and pleasant. We will definitely return.

We stopped here for a quick hour lunch. Was a great little Welsh spot for soccer traditional food and antiques. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meals and ended up picking up some jewellery on the way out.

An enjoyable spot to enjoy tea and cakes in the garden after a walk in the area.

A real food taste experience. The salads are amazing with strawberries, apple and the usual. Cakes gorgeous too. Love this place...book in advance though.

We have visited today for Father’s Day Sunday lunch.We all enjoyed our Roast Beef 🥩 dinner the service and food were great as usual the food was plentiful and cooked to perfection

We had a lovely meal, there was plenty of choice on the menu. The staff were very attentive. A lovely afternoon with my friend.

After a brief look around the various outlets we decided to try the restaurant; it was busy and so had to wait a few minutes. Once we were shown to our table and we had settled in, a friendly member of staff took our order comprising of soup of the day (vegetable), prawn cocktail, hot roast beef and fried onion ciabatta, a portion of chips, onion rings and a pot of tea for two. We didn’t need to wait long for our food and the soup was served hot, with brown bread. My wife made a comment that the beef was ‘melt in your mouth!’ Overall we had an excellent experience and a special mention to all the friendly staff who were both attentive and obliging throughout. I would recommend a visit to the restaurant and we look forward to our next visit in the hopefully not too distant future!

Went late in the day after a long hike so not busy and car park had plenty of room. So glad we stopped there, what spectacular cake!!!!

A very warm and welcoming place, home cooked food, can't beat it.

My wife and I stopped here en-route for lunch. Went on the strength of the reviews I had read. We were not dissapointed at all. This place is a gem! Very polite, attentive service. The food is delicious. The atmosphere convivial and lively. Good value for money as well. Top marks in all fields.

Excellent food and service. A real find and very good value for money. Recommended.

Tried to get in here for lunch on a Saturday. It was packed and food smelled delicious. There was a sign asking you to wait there to be seated. It was packed so we looked around the centre and returned an hour later following the instructions wait to be seated. There was a free table and the food looked great. We were then told there were no seats for at least an hour. A man came behind us having been earlier and having explored the centre returning as he'd been told in an hour. Had we known it was a waiting list and not a wait here to be seated we would have registered our interest an hour earlier and then eaten there. Misleading information about the system in place left us disappointed. We did however get a warm welcome and delicious lunch 10mins away at the Dinorben Arms.

It was July 2021 when we last visited this superb place and we were not disappointed upon on our return ! The staff are still lovely and friendly and helpful . The food was delicious and plenty of it . I still highly recommend you visit, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience. The craft / antique centre is good for a wander round either before or after you've eaten . 10 out 10

We have been here in the past and enjoyed it, however, this time we felt it was overpriced and not good value or standard . Prices are way too high for the venue/cafe. Food was very average. We couldn’t believe our bill…We will not return.

Lovely meet up with friends Afternoon tea with sausage roll and quich Perfect Staff very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend

We love the food here, the staff are lovely. It's always busy, so we book a table for lunch when we are visiting Wales. Yesterday, I had the oven roasted trout followed by a wonderful trifle. My husband had the trio of lamb chops with apple crumble for afters. Very enjoyable x

We had an amazing Afternoon Tea last Saturday. The food was fantastic. The service was friendly & personal. The place is lovely. Interesting & historical. I’ve been before & we will go again. Thank. You to all the staff.

Excellent service and an excellent Sunday roast. Staff exceptional friendly and obliging.

Lovely food, superb staff. I went with friends (one of whom is blind and in a wheelchair); unfortunately, she dropped her latte, which was in a traditional, tall glass mug. The staff came over straightaway with cloths to clear it up, and offered to replace the drink, free of charge, in a cup that was much easier to handle. When she was served her lunch, the waiter asked if she would like to use some cutlery with easy-grip handles, and these were brought immediately. First class service and a lovely lunch.

Lovely choice of Delicious cakes. And good service 👍

Afternoon tea. Lovely food great service and friendly attentive staff

We booked for Afternoon Tea. Service and food were faultless. Both excellent.

Food was good , service slow , but a busy time .

A very busy restaurant but the staff found us a table in no time at all. A fantastic choice of food on the menu and what we had was very tasty and well presented. Will definitely be back.

Excellent in all areas, delightful lunch.

Had a Sunday lunch , absolutely fantastic, excellent food and drinks, highly recommend 👌

This is our regular weekly visit for Sunday lunch. My wife and I and her parents. This is a great venue which gets it right every time. Glad to see the Stroganoff back on the menu. Perfectly cooked and delivered with care and grace. As I mentioned to the owner, Afonwen is our bench-mark for other eateries that we use (and they are varied !) Try the Ice-cream, wonderful.

All staff very friendly and service and food was excellent

Food was fresh but unfortunately cold. It would help if plates were hot to keep food hotter for longer. Eggs on toast , both items were cold. Eggs and bacon on the full breakfast were cold too. But lovely place, friendly staff and will return to try it out again. Desserts look better than what they tasted but were ok as home baked

Nice and friendly staff,good homecooked food!We took a slice of cake home as a treat for later !!

What a place. Fantastic home cooked food. Lovely staff. We'll be back 🙂

Amazing food, service, atmosphere and staff. Thos is a hidden gem, top quality. If you are staying in the Heron Lake Retreat, this is a five minute walk away. It is joined to the Craft Shop which has jewellery, cards, gifts, antiques etc, really beautiful little find. My Mum had the beef and ale pie and asked the chef to come out to tell him it was the best pie she had ever tasted.

The staff here are nothing less than superb, nothing is too much trouble for them, the food is excellent also. If only all eating places were run like this!

Don't miss out on the absolute best food and service. Everything was so fresh and taste amazing.

This place is a little gem. Had the Sunday roast, while my wife had the vegetarian option of Quiche. Great portions, fantastic food at a very reasonable price. The sweet selection is the best I have ever come across all home made. The Cheese is our favourite, and if you haven't got room you can take away. With the gift shop and Antique centre it is the perfect way to spend the afternoon. We have learnt to book in advance as the restaurant can get very busy. We have discovered this is a family run buisness and all of the staff are fantastic.

Always a lovely place to take friend to. It was such a miserable day weatherwise and forgot all about it in the warm friendly atmosphere

We were visiting the Antiques Centre and decided to have lunch here. There were 7 of us (one in a wheelchair) and we hadn't booked. The staff could not have been more helpful. One lady was particularly good as they were very busy but said she'd keep us one if we could come back in 30 minutes. We had a look round upstairs at more antiques and came back to find she'd got us a perfect spot with plenty of room. The rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The menu had a good choice and all the food was delicious. We were on holiday but can certainly recommend Edenshine and will definitely call again if in the area.

Three of us visited for Lunch. What a pleasure. The food was very good. The salads are just that little bit special and it makes such a difference. We also couldn’t resist the cakes. The service was very good and staff were attentive. I couldn’t fault it and will definitely recommend and return.

Based upon an absolutely delicious lunch today, it reminded us that it’s been far too long since our previous visit. The food was fabulous, the service exceptional and the overall ambience just right. Most tables were full, the other food brought looked rather appealing, especially the size of the lamb chops. But whatever you choose, remember, the chips are awesome, don’t miss out.

Went with some friends, our first visit. Food was top quality and we all thoroughly enjoyed our varied menu choices. Staff very friendly and helpful and a lovely venue too. Will definitely be back, soon.

Such friendly and helpful staff and wonderful home made food. Always first class.

Such friendly and helpful staff and wonderful home made food. Always excellent and great value for money.

We had never visited before but had had loads of positive feedback from friends that had. We hadn't booked but we were lucky we arrived quite early for lunch and were seated with no problems but I recommend booking. I ordered quiche and my husband ordered beef and ale pie. The food arrived fairly quickly considering everything looked freshly cooked and prepared. It was absolutely delicious and was a decent portion. Because it was our first visit and our anniversary we treated ourselves to a dessert which was also delicious and beautifully presented. I would definitely recommend a visit and will be returning for sure.

Excellent food, locally sourced and great gluten free choices for us coeliacs! Highly recommend.

A hidden gem! 4 of us friends were staying at Herons Lake Retreat and Edenshine is a short walk down the road. The breakfast is amazing, coffee is great, lunch was delicious and the Sunday roast was superb! They offer cakes, afternoon tea, light bites, desserts. The staff were excellent and very welcoming.

Incredible food very well presented. Service was quick and friendly. Only thing they were so busy on a wednesday lunchtime we only just got the last outside table. So booking is essential. Oven baked salmon was exceptional, salads were every fresh.

We've been here a few times and are always impressed with the service and the quality of homemade food. Recently, we had the luxury afternoon tea-they don't make the sandwiches until you arrive! Delicious! There's also a gift shop, visiting artists and antiques to explore after you've eaten. Highly recommended.

Staff friendly and helpful. Food is home cooked and portions are ideal .they kept the wooden covid screens up and it has added to privacy and reduced noise levels.

Took my 92 year old mum for lunch. Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent .

Food is excellent, and the cake's are even better, well worth a visit. Oh and there's some really nice antiques too 😁

Gotta be honest and say the style/decor put me off a little (it could be best described as "eclectic") but they say 'never judge a book by its cover' for good reason - the food is frankly of a spectacularly high quality and the menu options are wider than you might find in places 10 times the size. I found it really difficult to decide but eventually plumped for good old BLT and chips and it was as good as any I've ever had. Even the side salad was varied, delicious AND FRESH (why do some places find that so hard). The jewel in their crown though was their staff - could these be the best an nicest restaurant staff anywhere?

Looking for somewhere for a Sunday lunch ?!? Well you can’t go wrong with this hidden gem. The food was excellent piping hot and so tasty … while the staff were extremely helpful friendly and very happy to help. Serving locally brewed ales and a...

We came here when staying in the area and we blown away with how beautiful the food was , we kept saying it was made with love . It most certainly was , you can tell it was all fresh produce from local farms and home cooked . Nothing was processed , it was so yummy ! The staff were the most pleasant loveliest people we’ve met and took the time out to really engage with the customers . We were only here for 2 days but came here for both . We can’t wait to return in the summer ♥️

An excellent venue for browsing antiques and gifts. Excellent food and excellent service. Taks a look see.!

What a great find for Sunday breakfast Such good value and staff so friendly. Food plentiful, well cooked and presented would definitely return.

Food was excellent and service was great and friendly

Food is exceptional, staff fantastic and Craft centre definitely worth visiting.

I had a very enjoyable meal here with five very dear friends, and apart from the kitchen having (understandably) run out of a very popular dish, everything was faultless. The tables were arranged so that although it was busy and full of lively chatter, it wasn't noisy. The food was very good, and a very reasonable price for really great quality. Would very much recommend.

Excellent!! We will definitely go back.

Wonderful afternoon - plenty of choice on the menu & all delicious home made food. I had warming sweet potato soup to start served with croutons and a warm roll & butter, chicken stroganoff with rice for main and peach & strawberry sherry trifle for dessert.

Lunch with a friend, went for the 3 course new Christmas menu, I had the veggie option. Good range of options and all well presented and tasty, service excellent, staff friendly and very welcoming. Not hurried so we were able to take our time and chat and followed our meal with a look round the antiques centre in the same building. Plenty of parking, lovely setting, might be worth booking as they get very busy. Good place for morning coffee and cake or afternoon tea too

Great food, great service, great staff.

Very happy to see that the menu had many gluten-free options for me to choose from. Especially blown away by the number deserts that were gluten-free - all sounding delicious. It made a very welcome change from my usual experience of eating out and I...

Lovely atmosphere, home cooked meals of mouthwatering quality. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would certainly visit there again if I were in the vicinity.

We came upon this restaurant by chance while on holiday in North Wales. What a pleasant surprise it was. The food was excellent and so was the service from the staff. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are lovely. We highly recommend.

We have eaten here so many times before and have both always had the beef and ale pie. Sadly this last Friday it was so disappointing with only four pieces of beef each. The chips were very undercooked. On this occasion we were very disappointed.

Small cafe inside the antique centre. We ordered a burger with chips and coleslaw £10.95 each. Was a lovely homemade burger, very nice. Took some cake away £1.80 a slice of fruit loaf and a tiramisu slice for an overpriced £4.95! Small piece! Bill came...
