Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
My school lunch usually includes rice, vegetables, and some fruit.
In my country, most students eat a school lunch provided by the cafeteria, but some prefer to bring food from home because it's healthier.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I eat school lunch in the canteen.
Say: I have school lunch in the canteen. / I have lunch at school.
You 'have' a meal more naturally than 'eat' it here.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'School lunch' is plain; 'midday repast' is comically formal.
