The Good Life

Whenever I visit Shrewsbury, I make a pilgrimage here — tucked away in the narrow Barrack’s Passage, off Wyle Cop, close to the 1930s façade garage.
The café is warm and welcoming, yes, cramped in the entrance where the servery is, but I tend to go early or late for lunch.
Although tempted by the hot lasagne, or other dishes, I invariably go for one of up to 3 choices of utterly delicious nut-​based roasts, of which a big chunk is warmed up if you wish. Chutney is a good accompaniment.
As the fresh salad selection is so colourful and includes many interesting and inspiring combos of raw veg/​fruit — I always go for the full platter offer — and crunch my way through them.
Loose leaf teas and tisanes abound, with a pot of hot water in addition to the regular pot.
Desserts to die for — but probably best fetched if you have room from the massive plate of salads! I tried a seasonal fruit and nut tart in December and it was truly scrumptious! [sounds like a song!!!]
The staff at The Good Life are friendly and knowledgeable about the food served.
I sing the praises of the establishment to any friend I can, and have introduced several to it, all vowing to return.

Shrewsbury’s Numero Uno Vegetarian Restaurant offers exceptional quality and value. I can’t recommend this place enough. It really is a Gem, hidden in one of Shrewsbury’s many nooks, behind the Lion Hotel, Wyle cop.
The service is usually very proficient, but buffet style which can get busy at lunch times, so be prepared for a bit of a queue.
Massive selection of fresh salads every day (my favourite –apple and celery). Proper oven baked jacket potatos. Rolling menu of hot dishes (lasagnes, lentil bakes, nut roasts, soups). Oh, and the desserts!
