Oh My Pizza

A recent addition to Church Gate, Oh My Pizza is a family-run Italian takeaway, owned by brother-sister duo, Flavio and Viviana. Every lunchtime they are serving up fresh authentic stuffed focaccia with a drink for £5.99. If you do the girl math and round down, then it’s technically £5.

Cookguy

If you’re feeling extra carnivorous this lunchtime, why not try Cookguy’s crispy chicken leg coming in at just over £4! That’s a billy bargain if you ask me.

Mrs Bridges

The chilly months are here so it’s time to get cosy. What screams autumn more than soup! Get homemade soup and fresh bread for £5.75 at Mrs Bridges Tearoom. Remember the girl math from earlier, just round down.

Bar Sandwich

A go to in our office is Bar Sandwich at the top of high street. They have so many affordable options on their menu including fresh handmade soup for £2.90 (only £4 if you’d like a crusty roll with it!). Maybe you fancy a Jacket spud with beans and cheese for £4.45 (big fat yes please). If that wont keep you fuelled for the afternoon, I don’t know what will.

We hope this helps making that all important lunch decision a little easier.
