Lunch ideas to try at Wimpy: The good, the best, and the tasty

Let’s face it, some weeks, your lunch ideas look like a movie you’ve seen before, countless times. You know every plot twist: Monday rolls around with last night’s seven-colour leftovers in your lunchbox. Tuesday’s lunch plan? Same chicken mayo sandwich you had last week, again. By Wednesday, it’s the dry, cold toasties from the office canteen, paired with a questionable packet of chips. And let’s not even get started on Thursday’s instant noodles. Same old, same old lunches are no fun, but luckily, they’re not your only option.

It’s time to press play on some new and exciting lunch ideas. Because if every day is a movie, then your lunch hour should be the trailer.

20 Lunch ideas that’ll make you look forward to mealtime

The warmer months are here, and so are those longer, lazier afternoons that just beg for something delicious. Whether you’re running errands, soaking up the sun, or starring in your own meeting at work – it’s always a matter of time before breakfast becomes a distant memory and your stomach starts making noises that are louder than a movie director yelling ‘CUT!’. This means it’s time for lunch.

But after cycling through the usual rotation of leftovers, wraps, and salad recipes, it’s easy to run out of fresh lunch ideas. Packing your own lunch starts to feel more like a chore than a treat. Plus, we know that you’re busy and don’t always have time to worry about lunch. That’s why your lunch table is always reserved for whenever you’re ready and have run out of great ideas. Here are 20 lunch ideas that’ll have you looking forward to your next break with:
