Brief Answer:
The distance rule is broken so it is risky.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Having lunch outdoors with someone you work with is risky.
Even though you are outside the rule of
distance of two meters between you both is broken.
So as a conclusion having lunch outside with someone you work is risky about contracting covid19 between both of you while it is safe about contacting it from other people there.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
