Pronunciation of 'lunch'

I came across the word 'lunch' while reading Polish, and wondered if you pronounce it according to Polish rules of pronunciation. It seems to me that this wouldn't be a very pleasant word to say if this is the case. Or do you pronounce it as in English? Or neither?
Thanks.

Thanks wsypianska, that's cleared that up.
And about 'rarely', I don't think you're the only one! I've a Polish friend who kept messing that up until I told him its just two syllables, like Wroclaw wrote. Its just the spelling that puts you off.
