The meaning of "Lunch next day"

I came across this line from About Love short story by Anton Chekhov:

"At lunch next day there were very nice pies, crayfish, and mutton cutlets; and while we were eating, Nikanor, the cook, came up to ask what the visitors would like for dinner."

What is the meaning of the 'lunch next day' in the context of the sentences?
