Where do you lunch in Blandford Forum?

Many of us work in the town, either in offices or shops, so its often easiest to pop out at lunchtime and get something quick to eat. I don't know about you, but I occasionally feel like there's not a lot of options for a decent healthy lunch on the fly.
-
Scruples - good for a quiche or a baked potato
-
The sandwich bar in John Bilsland is a favourite
-
Reeves - making up in taste what it lacks in character
A regular haunt of mine is the sandwich bar in John Bilsland - you might not realise it was there if you don't use it as a butcher but its the best sandwich in town. Fresh meat, freshly prepared before your eyes - it's almost like having your mum make it for you, except you have to pay.
Scruples is another place I occasionally go for. If you fancy something hot you can get a jacket potato, or some soup. The quiche is quite good too on a summers day. They also do a meal deal where you get a free drink thrown in which is a help in these tight times.
I confess I have also taken to heading into Reeves occasionally. I sort of oppose Reeves on principle because it just seems a bit faceless compared to some of the town's independents - it could be a lot worse, we could have a Greggs on the Market Square - but I can't deny that some of their food is really nice, and the prices are good too.
But that's it for me, I rarely leave these three places - so I need suggestions, where do you lunch? Where should I be going?
Comments
I make a sandwich like any sensible person would - my lunch only costs me a few pence instead of the pounds people spend every day for a packaged sandwich. Blows my mind.
