Bit of fun for the summer when we all love to get out of the office and have a mooch around London for 20 mins.

Apologies if this is a bit London centric, but it is open to everyone to join in. In fact, thinking about it, feel free to introduce other cities but the same theme and question.

Share with us your great 'London Lunches'. Include name of establishment, location, what you order and how much £.

I'll start - i highly rate Maoz Falafel & Schnitzel in Greville Street, Farringdon area. I order the Mixed Box which includes Lebanese salad and sauce, topped with plenty of falafel and chicken schnitzel tenders, it's £7.50 and comfortably cruises to a 10/10 score.

Order an Oink or Grunter and sit in Princes Street gardens. cloud9
Its a hog roast roll. You get sauce and crackling too. All wrapped in tinfoil.
Last time I had one it was about £10 with a bottle of juice.

That sounds superb. I'll have a look on the map.

Used to get similar at Pilpel (there may be a few, but the one near Fleet St/Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese was the one I used).

No meat on theirs, but by god they are tasty.

Aside from being a bit of a jaunt from London, those look superb - thought Beres were about as good as i'd find from a chain of sandwich shops, need to try one of these...

Lots of locations

Le Garrick near Covent Garden is my sometime favourite.

Steak frites is about £15 but add a nice glass of red and a tarte for pudding pushes it to £30.
