hopeful to come across some good places to check out and use this. I can't keep it and if I don't run through it I lose it hence I might as well.
Know some good hush-hush spots?

It's pretty much unworkable to get a meal for a fiver in the area, except if you're willing to splurge just a TINY bit of your own money, you can go to Seoul Bakery on St. Giles High St. (maybe 5-10 min walk from Holborn Stn, just south of Tottenham Court Road Stn)...you can get a range of Korean dishes for just about 6 quid. I like the beef bibimbap+kimchi+miso...and water to drink. Cheap, satisfying and delicious!

Which part of Holborn are you? Covent Garden or towards Chancery Lane?
If the latter, I can suggest the following:
representing burritos, try either Daddy Donkey by Leather Lane, or Adobo next to High Holborn. I actually favor the latter, though DD is awesome
There's an Itsu by Holborn station, I really like their salads as well as udon pots
There's a fantastic Vietnamese house called Banh Mi Bay on the corner of Grays Inn Road and Theobalds Road. Amazing baguettes to take away, and the sit-down chow looks grand too.
At the same crossroads, there's a pizza/pasta place called Malletti, definitely worth checking out.
For falafel/kebab wraps, check out King of Falafel at the very top of Leather Lane. I swear beside that place, am there every week. Equally, there's a new-ish place called Meal Deal further along Leather Lane that does good chicken wraps very cheaply.
I am so hungry right now, dammit.
Five Guys + a few quid of your own

Bring in your own lunch. Hey ho you've immediately made £100 a month!
