AFAIK, a ploughman’s lunch is a specific kind of meal of bread, cheese, and onions, usually served with beer, but there’s nothing associating it with mid-afternoon.
Wait. Hold up. See, now I can get behind a lunch like this. Mind, I’m an office worker and done need all that, but beer cheese, bread and onions in the middle of the day? Hell, yes!
Why?
Seriously, what brought up that association?
EDIT: I asked because a Ploughman's Lunch is a specific type of sandwich, made up of roast beef, cheese, and pickled vegetables or chutney; not meal for a specific time. The people suggesting it might as well be shouting out "BLT!" for all the sense it makes.
Ditto all the people suggesting High Tea; that's tea and small cakes, served as hospitality rather than a meal.
I guess that's what this sub has become, though - somebody asks for the name of the movies featuring Luke Skywalker and people just answer "beef" or "Nicholas Cage" and we all upvote them so they can feel listened to...
High tea?
Suggestion is only from books (Enid Blyton mostly) but seemed to be a main meal with scones, puddings etc to fill up the farm workers. Served about 4pm as I remember?
I’m probably wrong!
I thought this as well, I read so many farming life Enid Blyton books growing up in England and the food always sounded amazing. We have afternoon tea sometimes here these days but it's usually a replacement for lunch, and sometimes replaces lunch AND dinner if enough food is provided.
It's most common for this sort of food to be served at birthday parties, a buffet spread of sandwiches, cakes, sausage rolls and other finger foods to pile onto a plate while catching up with friends and family at gatherings. I always come home feeling terribly bloated, but very full!
It's usually called “afternoon tea” nowadays (or sometimes “creme tea” although there are technical differences). “High tea” makes you sound like (somewhat unsurprisingly) an Enid Blyton character.
Mmm.scones! High tea is excellent! We always have this on Cruise ships! Princess Cruise Lines does it everyday and I love their scones with their whipped cream/ butter mixture ! Yum! 😋😋
Haha, I remember one thing clearly from learning French in school. Sounds like it should be this though - small dinner, so theoretically it works, but yeah it is breakfast.
My mother grew up in rural North Carolina, where the evening meal was always "supper." "Dinner" was only eaten on Sundays - the big, often social mid-afternoon meal after church was over.
Not what you're looking for I'm sure.
In many Italian American families this is called Sunday Dinner. They do a very early dinner on Sundays and invite the whole extended family.
Since you mentioned farm stuff I'm guessing this is not what you're looking for, but I figured I should add it to the pile just in case.
Maybe siesta? It's usually more of a nap than an eat period, but a meal can accompany. It's usually mid afternoon right after a meal.
Edit to fix a typo and clarify my meaning.
Mandatory first comment. I think I may have read the phrase in a book

Early bird?
nooning?
I love a good nooner.
Bet you do
It's better than a peanut butter sandwich.
Ploughman's lunch?
My first thought was also Ploughman's Lunch

Usually there's a small pork pie and some chutney with it too, can be a full meal or a ploughman's sandwich minus the pie

In the UK that's "Tea", no not the drink

But what about second breakfast?
I don't think he knows about second-breakfast.
Blue plate special?
That is (was) a daily low-cost special, with everything on one plate. But it wasn’t tied to any particular time of day.
Blue hair special, however....
But what about second breakfast?
Hobbit breakfast! My husband does this every day! 👍

Pensioners Dinner where I’m from.

Is it linner?

Afternoon tea may be the answer. Fits with the time of day+word for dinner part
