Great find - Edit
We went there on the basis of the other reviews on Happy Cow and were not disappointed. While seating is limited we managed to get a table very quickly. The food was delicious and staff very friendly . If we are in the area again we would definitely go back. We were also offered a sample of the soup of the day while waiting for our food which was a nice touch.

Excellent - Edit
Tasty, nutritious food with a nice variety from soup and salad to main dishes. Lots of cakes. Good value as well.
Read moreI enjoyed a lentil samosas and my partner loved chickpea madras curry. We also had a mixed salad to take away - this was a nice mix, tasty and filling and the bread that came with it was delicious.
If I was local I'd be back here on a regular basis.

WFPB food at a great price and lots of variety! Fab friendly staff even high eco - Edit
Was really surprised to find such a gem in a small town! Great menu, changes seasonally and a strong emphasis on healthy options. Staff were great and food was delish. Wish the hours were longer but they do a good takeaway so you can eat now and bring some home for later. If you’re in the area it’s well worth a visit.
Read morePros: All vegan , Excellent value for money, High eco standards
Cons: Wish opening hours were longer, Can’t seat large groups together

Love This Place It's Vegan Heaven - Edit
A friend recommended Simple Goodness and it did not disappoint. The welcome was so friendly and the place itself very cosy and chilled. We ordered jackfruit stew with linseed rice and sweetcorn and courgette fritters, both dishes were scrumptious, fresh food perfectly cooked. We could not resist the cakes so ordered organic coffee with a hazelnut cookie and peanut butter brownie. The cakes were awesome as was the coffee. I loved this place, the couple running it are lovely hosts and if I lived nearby I would be there all the time. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Salads - Edit
Anybody who is a fan of salads will know how difficult it is to find a good salad out there. Well this is it! Great tastes and beautifully balanced. And in generous amount. And as if that wasn't enough, the salad is accompanied by homemade bread. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful - Edit
I really am so happy we chose Simple Goodness in Penrith to meet with family for my daughter's birthday meal this evening. The food was absolutely amazing. Incredibly tasty, beautifully presented, great portion sizes and very reasonably priced. It is so obvious everything is made from great quality ingredients with skill, care and love. We are vegan but the family members we met aren't and they enjoyed the delicious food as much as us. We were met with a warm welcome, were really well looked after all evening and such kindness was shown to our 3 young children. Conscious, ethical and environmentally friedly choices are in evidence throughout and the only thing I am sad about is that we dont live nearer! We live over in Whitehaven but will definitely be making a short detour through Penrith whenever we head South on the m6 to collect some takeaway salad bowls (I really can't describe just how varied and tasty they were!), homemade bread and some delicious cakes. The lemon and coconut was my favourite. Absolutely amazing food and lovely people. We wish them every success!

Delicious Vegetarian food in Penrith, Cumbria - Edit
I was delighted to find a vegetarian bistro had opened in Penrith my nearest town. I have visited this venue on several occasions now and can vouch for the excellent food and service this place offers. The owners, Christi and Laslow, are simply lovely and very knowledgeable. Their passion for their food and business is clearly evident. I've had a couple of simple lunches there so far and each has been absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed a kofta dish with an equally flavorsome salad. I also love the cappuccino with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. You can opt for other sprinkles or none at all.
Read moreThere are lots of vegan options and the cutlery and take away packaging is eco-friendly. Do give them a try. They are tucked in a corner of the Devonshire Arcade which is in the very centre of Penrith. Simply happy customer - Bev
Pros: Great for vegetarians and vegans , Wholesome food, freshly cooked, Lovely, staff and relaxing atmosphere
