lunch hours
Midday work pauses
Lunch hours refers to the midday period when workers take a break from their duties to eat, typically lasting from thirty minutes to an hour.
The phrase usually appears in contexts discussing workplace schedules, restaurant busy periods, or the general window of time—often between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.—when people are away from their desks.
The café gets packed during lunch hours.
Though singular lunch hour is more common, the plural emphasizes the extended or variable nature of this break period.
