Excellent salad, beautiful quiche and good value in an unpretentious 70s retro setting. They accepted a reservation at very short notice and were friendly and helpful. This kind of cafe/restaurant used to be easy to find but they are rare these days. What a refreshing change.

We have been going to the Good Life regularly for several years and hence forgot to review it! Always somewhere with quick, good value, excellent food. Best to go early (12ish) as your favourite dish may have gone by 1pm. I can recommend any of the hot dishes with 2 salads(generous portions) and garlic dressing. If you have room, the... More

We visited this establishment in the week for lunch, it is a busy small restaurant not far from the main shopping area in Shrewsberry. The food was delicious, not a large enough serving really, but the price was very reasonable. It came across as nice and clean with friendly atmosphere. The only criticism we had, is that it seemed a... More

I didn't realise that this was a vegan establishment until I was halfway through my meal, which gives you a good idea of the choice available. I had a warm quiche salad and my wife the soup - both excellent. We went on a Saturday lunchtime and whilst we were eating it got very busy which is always a good... More

Eating out is tough when you have dietary restrictions and a friend recently recommended "The Good Life" as a relaxing place to eat with variety of home cooked food. I so impressed that I was able to find vegan and gluten free food in the center of Shrewsbury - not only that there was a choice (usually its difficult to... More

On visiting Shrewsbury the other half and I popped in here for a quick bite of lunch. At first we weren't sure as seemed to be vegetarian menu and a little drab inside but gave it a go based on good reviews on here. We weren't disappointed - the quiche was the best we've eaten and there was an abundance... More
