      The correct expression is “at lunchtime” however “during lunchtime” is also an acceptable idiom. The word “on” is used to describe a specific time of the day, such as “11am on Monday”. The word “at” is used to describe a particular time in a day, such as “at noon”.

      • Use “on lunch time” when you are referring to “lunch time” as an event (e.g. “What is the time that I am supposed to have lunch?”)
      • Use “at lunch time” when you are referring to “lunch time” as a duration of time (e.g. “How long does it take to get everything done at lunch time?”)
