I do not think that there is a re-creation of an atmosphere between a home 
and work.  The man simply went for lunch!  A business does not have to be 
open all day long!  And a man does not have to eat his lunch in the place of 
work.
The beauty of a Home Office is that one does not have to travel to work.
