lunchers
Noontime meal takers
People who eat lunch, especially those doing so at a particular time or place.
The word usually appears in contexts where lunchers form a noticeable group: The park fills with lunchers from nearby offices around noon.
A restaurant might distinguish between its breakfast crowd and its lunchers.
