Hawarden Estate Farm Shop in Flintshire

Popped in to celebrate daughters A level results. Had breakfast which we all very much enjoyed. Attentive service in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Interesting items in the shop and the bread from the bakery is amazing. Will be back

WORST BREAKFAST EVER.. BITTER FRIED FOOD AND AT 14 POUND ,YOU GET THE LEAST AMOINT OF FOOD IN A PLAYE GOOD FOR NOTHING. FLIES EVERYWHERE ON CAKES. STAFF WHO DOESNT CARE. SHOP NOTHING AVAIALBLE, PRODCUTS PRICES FOUR TIMES THE VALUE. DONT GO THERE

I am very shocked to read all these bad reviews! My husband and I and our 4 year old daughter visited the farm cafe yesterday before we travelled home from our stay in Hawarden and wished we had found this place sooner! It was the best breakfast we have had in a very long time and my daughter’s pancakes were to die for! Not forgetting the lovely Chai Latte’s and Iced Coffees! We sat outside which was a lovely setting close to the log fire with blankets provided. The place also had a children’s wooden play park which was also a bonus!

No longer a Farm Shop. The butchers has been removed, the fresh fruit and veg has been removed, the deli counter has been removed and the pies have been removed. This is all to make way for as many tables they could pack in for the very expensive café, £8 for a sausage bap, seriously! The only food products you can buy are a very small selection of extortionately priced small packs of charcuterie, bread that's been left in the open all day to go stale and some cheeses you can get in the supermarket. Everything else is the usual bought off-site rubbish you get in these places like pencils made out of twigs and overpriced shortbread biscuits. If an expensive café and a £7 jar of pickled onions is what you're after, this is the place for you. I won't be going back.

Farm shop - calling that is a joke, no fresh veg, no fresh bread - all over priced items - terrible service from staff who really do not care what you are looking for - never go back

Only 1 can cannot give zero. Previous good service but today is appalling. Slow. Nothing available. Drinks orders incomplete. Items not available. Dirty glass

The farm shop it self has some quality products, but the cafe is shocking, probably up there with the worse breakfast I’ve had, should of gone to Morrisons cafe, the sausages were deep fried, no seasoning what so ever and if your charging them prices it needs to be spot on.. I really would have a good think before you bother..

Such a long wait for service, food served in its most basic form, could be soooo good but really can’t understand why no one takes note of the reviews

Stay away from this shocking over priced cafe and farm shop. £14 for a breakfast £12.50 for soup and half a sandwich We had to wait 20 mins just to get out coffee, I ordered a luxury hot chocolate, what exactly is luxury about cheap hot chocolate that tasted like it was made from water with cream and marshmallows.

Took my grandson to the Alpine Village but we didn’t find it. There was a very small plastic skating rink that nobody seemed to be able to skate on, and that was it really. Had a nice walk around the community allotment then left in a very muddy car.

Appalling, my grandson ordered a toasted cheese on sourdough. Bread cut a thin as they possibly could, used the old trick of putting the scant cheese on the cut line to make it look more. Once opened thin slice of cheese. No presentation, crisps scattered on plate and not even a bit of salad £8.50!!! What a rip-off. Chips £5.00 for a few cheap frozen chips. Sausage roll nearly £5.00!!! Disgraceful, will not be eating there again and a small brownie nearly £4.00.

AVOID WASTE OF MONEY THE ICE RINK WHAT A JOKE!! Tiny not fit to to advertised as a RINK!! Got there didn’t even go on the rink that I booked and paid for as it was tiny and for toddlers!! No wonder there’s no pictures online!!! Outside seating area looks like a junk van just dumped all its old unwanted tatty furniture there! OVERPRICED AND JUST NOT HOW UT LOOKS ONLINE .. they don’t reply to emails or messages AVOID SAVE YOUR MONEY

Christmas market And cycle race Very festive fire pit and bar Start of christmas Thanks for letting us use your venue

After being hoodwinked by an Instagram misadvertisement we went to the Christmas ice rink which was new for 2023, for £15 each I was expecting a 45min experience on the ice (fake or otherwise) however the 'rink' was the size of a postage stamp and at full capacity, as two adults in their 20s it was quite embarrassing to be turning up to a glorified kids play park and paying for the privilege. We stayed for a overpriced coffee and toastie which was as other reviews have said, ok but not worth the money. Such a shame as I used to recommend this place to my friends! Would recommend deeside leisure centre instead!

Went to the farm shop for drinks and pastries one Sunday morning. Sat outside as we had our dog with us. Lovely atmosphere and decorations, with a Christmas choir singing in the background as it was a special Christmas market day. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow and chaotic. Told we had to wait for table service, which took 10 minutes to take our order. Drinks were brought quickly, but then waited 40 minutes for our food. We were told there was only one pain au chocolate and no cookies available, but there were lots when we ordered and lots available inside. The toasted tea cake still hadn’t arrived after 50 minutes and asking two waitresses. In the end we left and just paid for the food we had eaten and they couldn’t even find the ticket for our order. Such a shame, the food was nice, but given the high prices we expected better service.

Not really a farm shop,popped in for some fruit and veg,nothing really much in stock,more of a cafe than a farm shop.id give it a miss.I'll never get those 3 mins back

We’ve visited the Hawarden Estate Farm shop on two occasions now and loved spending time there. The shop in which you enter is lovely and the coziness of the fire in the restaurant is so nice even in the summer! However be warned you will end up smelling like smoke! We brought our daughter to the little growers club and had a fantastic time! The two gentleman running it were so knowledgeable and really let our daughter get stuck in! We picked loads of fruit and veg that we got to take home and planted a few plants! We also did the trail which was lovely to explore the estate a bit more. The second visit We went to the forage and make class hosted by Mia and it was fab! We made nature Wands and crowns and Mia was so lovely, our daughter absolutely loved it. Was so nice to get outside exploring and then get creative! I would say the only downfall of the place is the pricing of the food. Everything is organic and grown there however it is very steep in price. The food has been enjoyable but just expensive. The Apple juice is freshly squeezed and is lush but again, expensive! Def would recommend a visit here though, loads of activities, exploring, and fruit picking to be done!

Today was a delight. Harden open day to the Castle Tower after climbing to see the fabulous view from the top it gave us an appetite so we had tea and lovely home made teacakes in the Farm Shop We noticed that they had Delicatessen counter so we bought two meat pies to take home best thing we had EVER had WOW EXCEPTIONAL.

Felt compelled to write a review after reading a couple of recent negative reviews. If you enjoy a frozen Asda pizza, this isn’t the place for you. The farm shop is beautiful and a breath of fresh air for the area. The food is delicious, of exceptional quality and the service is great. Always greeted with a smile and served quickly. The pizzas are lovely, thin base, soft dough and quality ingredients. The cakes are also outstanding - best jam and cream doughnut I’ve ever eaten. Well worth a trip and great for kids. My one year old is always welcomed with a smile and the kids menu is great too. Big field for kids to run around and a play area with a fun trail around the camp site.

We called on the way home from our holiday at Poultry Cottage near Powys. The farmshop/cafe had just opened and we were greeted by a very pleasant lady who explained the set up and took our order. The food was amazing, I had the salt beef hash with grilled egg, an unusual choice for breakfast but so damn tasty. Salted pulled beef with onion, spinach and crispy new potatoes with egg on top. I regretfully had to leave some of it as it was a very generous portion. My husband said that his bacon sandwich was the best and tastiest ever! A lovely cup of tea with real tea leaves, not tea bags. We bought some cheese and tomatoes from the shop and would have bought some bread, unfortunately there was only sourdough so we didn’t bother. What is the attraction of sourdough? Horrible! In my opinion. It was quite expensive but we would much rather pay more for quality which this certainly was. Having returned home, I read some of the reviews on here and was quite shocked to see some of the negative comments. Not our experience at all! If we had read these before visiting we probably would not have bothered which is such a shame! We plan on returning when we are next in the area.

Making a visit having not been for several months and hoping for an improved experience. Slowish table service, impassive check out, loud intrusive music, very little local produce in the shop. Overall a fairly underwhelming visit...again. The coffee and brownies were good though but will leave it several months before returning, if ever.

We are very local to this establishment and thought after 11 years we should give it a visit. However, we have always been under the misconception that this is a high-end posh venue? So, let's begin... We arrived with our 2 tiny chihuahuas to be greeted by what looked like at 1st glance to be a lovely camp site retreat. A fully functioning outdoor kitchen with a small bar area serving refreshments. Once seated, the reality hit! The campfire was more of a smoke screen! The overpriced pizza was burnt around the edge (bear in mind the edge was 6" wide leaving a diameter of 3" of topping in the centre of a pizza base) clever thinking by using less toppings to make more money on the pizza £14! 😳. Come back Domino's all is forgiven! The beer, which is served by a schooner (not a pint) another elaborate deception as it's served in an undersized glass. There is no way the volume of liquid was 425ml in the glass. 145ml short of a pint for £5.50!!! 😳😳😳. WHAT THE HELL!!! The service was quite slow and we could see that the place did not have regulars in as people were asking for directions to the loos and all the other patrons were visitors on holiday. Places like this, need to understand, although you are in Hawarden, which is not a posh area lol! You need to bring your prices into line with the type of clientele that you want to become regulars. We wouldn't mind washing our clothing everytime we visit, if your prices and service warranted value for money. Looks like this might be the next venue to disappear once the people stop visiting.

I waited 20 minutes,saw people arriving after me served. I waited 20 minutes I was ignored. When I told the girl at the till no effort was made to redress the situation

Ordered a salad which I appreciate was a Greek salad but was full of inedible large chunks of cucumber , cheap lettuce and only the tomato that had any taste It came with about 6 slivers of flatbread and a small amount of smoked trout...

We are locals and used to love coming to the farm shop. We visited yesterday with family but left before ordering, the food is overpriced and the log fire burning is terrible even though it’s outside the smell fills the indoor area. I’m not sure...

This place used to serve amazing food for lunch, sadly, no more. The menu is extremely limited and the food we did eat was over cooked and over priced with tepid coffee and a 1/2 hour wait. Very disappointed, we will not return and would...

Haven’t visited in a while and realised as I walked in things had changed since my last visit. Had a lovely friendly welcome from the ladies when I walked in looking for a table for breakfast. Loved the smell of a bonfire as your coming...

What a disappointment this visit was, no longer a farm shop instead a tea room/coffee shop that quite frankly is living off its past glory days. Menu has changed and not for the better, yes the price was steep - but if the food was...

Dissatisfied, food not great not much choice and very expensive,products for purchase also expensive, but did get a couple of farm produce on sale.

Hmmm where do I start? I live not too far away from the farm shop. I've seen it grow from strength to strength over the many years that I have visited. Overall I do like the place, it is a little pricy for a number...

Just back from a 3 night stay at the Hawarden Campsite. A pretty mixed review, so hear goes...the site was amazing! Lovely and clean, pitches well spaced out, plenty for the kids to do. The staff we interacted with including those in the shop and...

The food, portion size and value for money was fantastic. Previously we’ve been a little disappointed in menu choice and portion size - so not sure if changes have been made recently but they make an awesome breakfast. Great food, great decor and attentive friendly...

We hadn't been here for a while, but my wife and I decided to call in for brunch in-between two work appointments. We were impressed with the changes. Our brunch of jumbo porridge oats and estate breakfast were of good quality. As some reviews have...

Our favourite farm shop and cafe is not what it was . Limited menu and expensive. Produce to take away least said the better. Sad. Someone at the top....get a grip...

They need to change the name and signage outside, this is definitely not a farm shop anymore. Butchers and cheese counter has gone from what I could see replaced by more tables and chairs. A few bits of veg in a box when you walk...

Absolutely flabbergasted at the extortionate prices. This place has the ability to be incredible and yet it’s losing customers due to downright GREED. £10 for a hot dog? £8 for a bacon bap? I have literally never seen these prices anywhere, and I travel up...

Ridiculously expensive for average food. I can’t understand why people go here. It used to be so good. Take your savings with you- even if you’re only having coffee and toast.

I had a coffee and a hot cross bun. When I went to pay I thought there had been a mistake when I was told my bill was £7.90. I was going to challenge the amount until I saw the faces of my friends who...

Waited in line at the till to order. Told it was waitress service. Sat down. Waited 15 minutes. Then went back up to ask. Told again it was waitress service. A further five mins. Order taken after others before me being seen. All in all...

Extortionate pricing, not worth the visit. Came here with my three year old as was nearby. Firstly the menu is very sparce, if you are looking for a small bite to each for lunch, maybe a sandwich this isn't the place for you. I asked...

As a frequent visitor and previous champion of this venue I was bitterly disappointed to find that a key aspect of its attractiveness as a Farm shop has vanished. For some time we have visited to purchase excellent butchery products and while doing so to...

We fairly regularly visit the Chatsworth Farm Shop and cafe so maybe we are spoiled. However when we visited on a weeday early afternoon we found that the meaI ordered was not available. It took ten minutes to tell me this so I re-ordered a...

The cafe experience wasn’t great, the prices seem ridiculously high. My coffee is not dialled in correctly and states over extracted, for £3.50, extremely disappointed. The staff are running around as though they were packed to capacity, when in reality there are tables everywhere but...

Great food once again. Staff are amazing cake is good. Child & Dog friendly. The good life festival was on so was very busy and staff were on top of everything Costumer service was spot on Expensive but worth a visit Fresh produce means more...

Very poor experience. We had checked in as we assumed food would be good and locally sourced… how wrong could we be? We came for breakfast - service distinctly average - served by children with very little training… clearly. Ordered a veggie breakfast and an...

Trying to do too much and not achieving any of it! I hadn’t been for a while but it’s changed considerably since I was last here. The farm shop can no longer be considered a farm shop, there’s hardly any farm produce and only half...

The place itself is stunning, the food was ok but too expensive, but it was the poor service that really did it for me. The coffees took over 20 minutes to arrive, and sat just across from the station I could see no signs of...

So so disappointed with this once firm favourite eating place. Limited menu now on a Sunday after 12. We ordered from the very limited “From the Fire” menu. Ended up with a small plate with two falafels on two little flatbreads with a spoon of...

Having come for a breakfast can say hand on heart will not return. The price of it is way overpriced for the size that arrives at your table and why be fancy with baked beans adding bits in to them . Not much at all...

Great place for breakfast, Lunch. Chicken flat bread, & Lamb kofe we’re good. Maybe would be good to have a kids menu. We then ordered a slice of Victoria sponge. The biggest slice I have seen amazing and tasty recommended sharing. Dog friendly. Over all...

I have been a regular visitor to the farm shop for many years (from when it was a small shed like shop and no cafe) and have never been disappointed until now! I ordered the breakfast, this had always been a firm favourite and although...

I called there for the first time to hopefully get some fresh fruit and veg, that didn't happen. I stayed for a coffee, and was blown away when I received the bill, I was charged 12 50 for a coffee a( scone 4.50),(nearly 8 pounds...

Love visiting here for a quick bite and a shop for healthy nutritious food and drinks. The meals are always well cooked and presented with plenty to choose from. Good selection of herbal teas too. It can a little time to be served but it...

Visited the Hawarden Farm shop for some lunch as I have many times. Service was good, food was good although pricey. £5 for chips (triple cooked) I know gas prices are increasing but we are bordering on big city prices and even then they throw...

Had a great breakfast here, expensive but very very good, great choices. We also bough sausage rolls from the deli which were amazing. Lovely quirky things for sale in the farmshop, v special place, loved it.

I really enjoyed lunch at the Farm Shop. Service was good and the lunch really tasty and delicious. My son and I ate well and had a relaxed time. We got into a lovely chatty conversation with another diner and plenty of staff were working...

Visited for the first time since lockdown and was looking forward to it, have always found it to be very good! Today was a real disappointment and most likely will not come back. We were seated very quickly with drink order being placed straight away,...

Last time we went there we ordered 2 Hawarden Sausage Sandwiches asking for the extra £1 on both sandwiches for the fried egg.After waiting nearly 20 min, both sandwiches came out with no eggs. We had to struggle to finally get the attention of someone to have the eggs coming. But another mistake, only 1 egg came out. No apology, no compensation, no customer service basically.Today we decided to go back. Bedsides the fact the croissant took ages to arrive as the baby was starving, again, our order got messed up:we ordered the same thing but this time they confused our sausages with BACON. We sent the sandwiches back. A staff member tried to reassure us the sandwiches would be ready in minutes and they did. But the sourdough was not toasted this time, not crunchy at all and they used the same eggs of the first sandwiches as they came out cold.Again, sorry if I repeat myself: No apology, no compensation, no customer service basically.They can't take an order properly (or the kitchen can't read it), they don't fix the problem, the issues continue even after the first mistake and they don't recover you or take care of you.Today was officially our last time here.

3rd visit here and we are always hoping for better. The styling and aesthetic of this place are top notch, but the organisation is frustratingly poor. There are lots of staff, but they ALL avoid guests’ gaze in an almost comical way, and when questioned...

I went here for breakfast mid lock down and food was excellent unfortunately they have changed it for the worse. Firstly its £12 for a all day breakfast so very expensive but if its nice you don't mind spending it occasionally, the bacon has changed...

Ok it’s a Saturday and there’s a wait due to the amount of people sitting about with bottles of complimentary water waiting to be served. The menu is exactly the same as the Summer. Virtually no hot food, had to ask for the eggs florentine...

Last time we visited , In fact , many times of visiting , the service was great and the food was divine , seems an extended area to the cafe and a new chef have destroyed all of that . Think they’re trying to change...

Called in for brunch on a long road trip.. 2x Eggs Florantine 1x Sourdough toast (2pc), a coffee and a tea.. The Florantine unusually comes on a big think rosti rather than a muffin, the rosti is a game changer! Very nice food, lovely staff,...

Friends and I stopped to eat here and we were disappointed as we were very hungry and had just missed the breakfast menu. I do appreciate other people's taste in foods but there was nothing suitable for us. The food being served to others looked...

Great selection of produce, beautifully laid out shop/cafe. Friendly staff, very helpful. We stayed for lunch which was delicious. The grandchildren really enjoyed the pancakes. We will definately be returning.

I visited for the first time today and ordered a turkey and avocado sandwich. When it came, I was surprised by how small it was. It was underwhelming to eat and I think that, at £6.95, it was poor value. I was really disappointed and I won't be eating here again.

Staff had to check what I could have for cooked breakfast. The waitresses lack of knowledge was not particularly reassuring.It transpired there was not much I could have! In this day and age I find that quite unusual. What was even more unusual was the lack of sympathy or regret!While I was offered egg and mushroom, I asked if I could have the egg scrambled or in an omelette. I was told they only did fried! The fried egg arrived very over-done

I shop here for all of our meat produce. There is nothing like the quality of the meat & poultry supplied from this estate. The fillet steak is excellent as is the chicken mini roasts! The cafe is good. Very busy & noisy. I find it very stuffy, tables close together etc. Not a very relaxing place. That aside the menu & food is good, however the white coffee is not to my liking very strong & bitter. Beautiful surroundings & ample parking.We order our Turkey every year which is always excellent as are the Christmas trees.

Visited today with my husband, and have visited regularly in the past.Always a brilliant little stop for lunch. Food is always top quality, and service is very good. Surroundings are also lovely, modern & bright.My only negative would be the menu selection.....cold winter day would love to have seen homemade soup on the menu, as there was a few years back. Alas, this has been removed. The menu appears to be the same in summer & Winter, a little seasonality would be a lovely touch.

The Farm Shop promises so much but is let down by the attitude of the staff.The coffee and cake is good but the experience is let down by poor staff. It is not all the staff but sadly the majority so the overall experience is poor. Very disappointing.

A lovely stopover for breakfast, slightly scrimpy on the meats but big slices of toast and lovely black pudding! The farm shop is simply amazing, deli counters and meat plus a wide and varied selection of local beers and international wines. Fresh produce from the farm. Local shopping heaven! Very busy given the time of year and clearly popular with the locals. Go early to avoid disappointment.

We are frequent visitors to the Hawarden Estate Farm shop. The selection of local and artisan food and drink is unequalled in North Wales. If you want to eat, or just enjoy a hot / soft drink, the cafe is excellent. The butcher and delicatessen counters are superb and staffed with friendly, knowledgable staff. All-in-all the best farm shop in the local area. A must visit place.

Since it was a fine day I walked down from Hawarden, though I could have caught a bus. Arrived hungry and thirsty so opted for lunch first, shopping second. Excellent choice as the cafe area filled up quickly. While waiting for my lunch to arrive I had time to look around and see what people were buying, and plan my own purchases. The artisan sandwich was enormous, full of filling and very tasty, the coffee was great, and the Victoria sponge was delicious. Afterwards I wandered the various sections of the shop selecting fresh meat, bacon, eggs and produce, Llaeth y Llan yoghurt, cheese from the deli, Welsh cider - everything I needed to feed myself for a few days. Then I walked back up the hill into Hawarden ... slowly!

This place is like a TARDIS. We had a great breakfast sitting in the shop surrounded by counters of delicious looking fresh and local produce. The butchery was amazing and the deli counter and cheeses - out of this world. A lot of thought has gone into the whole project and it shows. Thank you for a great stop, Shame I don't live nearer.

Called in to show our relatives the great selection of items available .Really nice place and good value

expensive but worth the price for good tasting food and ingredient try to go on a nice day then your young ones will enjoy the play area and animals

The food is excellent although compared to normal local cafes. But I think you pay for quality.There are lots of staff and they are typically pleasant and polite. The one thing that lets it down is that it's very hard to get served. I sat down next to a couple who were just commenting they had been there 15 minutes. She had just been up to order and been told (she said "rudely) to sit down and they would come to her. I sat for 10 mins and also went up and was told to sit down (politely) and they would come to me. They did but 5 mins later. At this point the couple still hasn't been asked for their order. Customer service message - don't cluster behind the confer where you can't see if people have sat down!Food was excellent tho so all is forgive

Sadly, we missed stopping here for breakfast, but stopped in later for a look. We saw some great looking food on the table, and bought some goodies to take with us, including sponge toffee, a bakewell tart, lemon curd, and brandy butter. Next time we'll stop for a meal. Staff were extremely pleasant too.

Great place to visit. even better in the high summer on a hot dayNice little café and food on sale you don't normally see and local produce

Good coffee shop with friendly and helpful staff. Coffee is excellent and there is a good selection of cakes which are generally good but not top 'home made ' quality. Size of cake portions can vary a bit so be careful with your selection! Today lemon cake was better value than chocolate cake. The bacon sandwiches are tender and tasty.The reason that this place gets three rather than four stars is that most of the produce is slightly or significantly overpriced in comparison with other deli's in the NE Wales, Chester or Wirral areas. For example, why pay a fancy price for certain items of cheese when the identical can be purchased for less elsewhere? One positive is that this is a nice place to bring young children who can run round outside in the play area and see live chickens.

The cured bacon was delicious as were the eggs. The whole place was very clean and the produce range fantastic. Lovely coffee in the café as well.

Great selection of products with the deli counter, butchers, bakery etc. A touch expensive, but you are getting what you pay for.

We visited the shop during their GOOD LIFE EXPERIENCE Festival. The staff where friendly and helpful. The range of goods and quality are excellent.

Lots of really fresh fruit, veg and bakery products as well. An excellent butchers. Really good at Christmas for Turkeys. The small coffe shop is good too and they have an excellent choice of cakes.

This review is purely referring to the cafe. I would love to be writing a raving review as I really wanted to enjoy our dining experience. The waitresses were lovely. Very polite. The menu looked lovely online. I knew it wasn't cheap but had factored this in to our day and as a treat, wanted to eat somewhere with quality food. We ordered 2 children's meals (a batch, crisps, fruit & biscuit). The batch was a standard floury batch...nothing special, but that's okay. Biscuit was a pre-packed basic biscuit, not a farm shop biscuit. Crisps were cheap multi-pack, not hand cut like the ones in the shop. I could live with the children's meals, but did expect them to be a bit different to a play-barn meal (which they weren't). My husband ordered the beefburger. At almost £10, I expected something special. It was the flattest, dullest looking burger I had seen. It was served with a pile of rocket and that was it! Again, it was in a standard floury batch (nothing home-baked or special) . I ordered the steak pie & 2 side salads. The salads were lovely (puy lentil & sweet potato). The pie was cold. This was not mentioned on the menu, or at the point of ordering. When I asked if it could be heated up I was told that was not possible. I felt cheated as I couldn't actually eat my lunch! Cold gravy is not good! I tried it and gagged. I'm sure it was a good pie but eating cold (refrigerated), gravy-laden steak pie felt a bit like eating dog food. I mentioned this to two waitresses (minus the comments about dog food) but all they said was 'Yes. They are served cold'. They did not offer me to change the pie (I had not touched it at this point) or apologise that this had not been stated anywhere or mentioned when ordering. The meal cost almost £40!!! We had contemplated going for a cheaper pub lunch nearby, but really wanted a treat. Mistake! I was really upset that we had spent so much on such a disappointing meal. We do not eat out often, and love good quality food, but this experience really tainted our day. £40 is a lot to most regular people so the cafe should maybe reconsider what they offer for that amount.

Very nice for coffee and cake with friends ... Lovely seating area outside aswel as inside . Nice staff .

We've heard a lot about this place from friends so we went today with friends and had the recommended full breakfast Mir was fab, absolutely delicious Local produce, beautifully cooked, just what we needed on such a miserable Sunday morning Visited the shop too....... Lots of fab produce yo guise from tooWell worth a visit

Locally sourced. Excellent café. Situated on the edge of the pretty village of Hawarden. Worth stopping to stock up the delicious produce on offer.

Relaxed atmosphere in a foodie paradise, indoor and outdoor dining areas, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A family lunch (four adults). Wonderful fresh food. Recommend the cold meat platters. Ideal for a warm day. The deli is well stocked with superb meats, cheeses, etc. Excellent selection of wines & (local) bers; pickles, oils, sauces, jams, etc. You'll be spoilt for choice!

This little farm shop is located just outside the village of Broughton, on the way to Hawarden, it provides local produce and Welsh beers and is helping the local farming community, there is a little cafe en situ which has a varied menu from sandwiches up to light meals, very nice.

A big improvement since my last review the service is spot on the food is very good if not a little pricey, I can highly recommend the welsh breakfast though

my wife and first found the farm shop in February just after i retired and what a find the staff are great always ready to have a chat. The restaurant we have been sampling the breakfast once a week from February so to me that say's it all. It is not cheap but the quality of the produce out ways the cost. See you all next week

Food quality is good, but its not cheap either so I expected nothing less. Disappointed that no All Day Breakfast is served, especially as most of the breakfast items were available as sandwiches. Coffee (Latte) was OK but not memorable.

Called in for a drink and cake with a friend. Had stale carrot cake and she had a scone which was dry and clearly overdone. Very disappointing

Called in 13th April and was served the coldest espresso I've ever experienced.Otherwise everything else is fine, but they need to warm the cup before making the drink!
