We're having a late lunch vs We're having a lunch

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'We're having a late lunch' implies that the lunch is happening later than usual, while 'We're having a lunch' is a more general statement about having a meal at midday. The addition of 'late' in the first phrase provides more specific information about the timing of the meal.
