Prices And How to Book


Please book in advance – it ensures you a seat, and it really helps us make sure we have the right number of staff to serve you quickly and make sure the film starts promptly. We often sell out and hate having to turn people away.

When Do The Doors Open?


Doors open 45 minutes before the film start time. Coming to The Lantern is a magical experience and part of that experience is table service, to ensure the film starts promptly please arrive at least 20 minutes in advance so our team have time to take, make and bring your order to your table.

If you arrive AFTER the advertised start time of the film, our bar and kitchen will have closed for orders. If we have time, we will do our very best to serve you, but we have to make sure the film starts in good time. We will ask you to queue in the bar area and we will come and take your order once everyone else has been served, as long as there is time to make your order before the film starts.

Please note that the bar is closed once the film starts and waiters only have time to serve everyone once, so please get everything you need when you order.
