I would start lunch early enough that she can stay at the table and eat as long as she is willing. Plan something quiet for the other kids to do after lunch or leave everyone at the table and read stories or put on a tape of stories while they colour. Then at least the child wouldn't be alone although if it is too distracting for her then of course the eating comes first.
The fact you have had issues getting her to eat it is more important to let her get the eating down even if it takes a long time - provided she is actually eating and not just playing with the food.
