That place is total ****. Use to go there until me and friends discovered a better place in Chinatown called four seasons. Should be going there in 1-2 hours aswell.

Lunch for a fiver in central london? have you ever had lunch in central London before?
I buy cheapo sandwiches and a drink and crisps and a choccy bar and spend £7-£8 a day for the priviledge of taking it away and eating at my desk .. and that's from M&S (everywhere else is more expensive or just horrible).
Dinner for a tenner?
This is as absolute bottom drawer as you can get. You couldn't even eat in pizza-hut for that unless you all chose the gypsy'est pizza in the world with no starter and just 1 soft drink ..
Hmm -- what to do? Well for lunch I'd consider getting everyone to bring some (different) food and sit on the banks of the Thames having a picnic. So one person brings the sausages, the next some crisps, the next some sandwiches etc. eating looking along the Thames at all the sights is nice, free, and more unique than sitting inside smoewhere anyway ..
Then for dinner I'd take the £15 you now have and see if there's some very gypsy cheap pizza place. And don't have starters. Or beer. Coke or Fanta is good! For £15 now I think about it you may just be able to squeeze a meal out of Angus steak house (a few round Leicester square), and you can book them in advance .. again kiss goodbye to any thoughts of starters or puddings though!
:/
Sorry .. £10 for evening meal round London is nigh on impossible unless you want to eat under a big plastic clown with some golden arches overhead ...

Why would you do that when there's plenty of tasty hot food options for ~£6 in central London?
But you're right. You won't find anywhere in central London that's bookable and only charges a fiver.
Generalizing and blowing things out of proportion much?
A sandwich is M&S in Central London... which is also no different in price to anywhere else in the UK is going to set you back no more than 2.99-3.99 depending on what you get. It's obviously up to you if you then spend more money on extras that take you up to £8.
Sames goes for EAT or Pret or anywhere else like that, a sandwich will never be much more than that.
I'm not saying you can't spend that much, I regularly do if I buy a sandwich, drink, crisps, piece of cake/snack... but then that's buying much more than a sandwich, which is not really going to break the bank.
You can also get a meal for a tenner in plenty of places in London. Of course it won't be Michelin starred fine dining, but it doesn't mean you have to eat at McDonalds. Off the top of my head, there are plenty of places around Soho, as they cater for just about every crazy niche of food that somebody can try and market. Then you've got all the restaurants in China Town where you can easily eat for a tenner.
