FAQs & COVID-19

Due to COVID19 we are making the difficult decision to shorten our guest list. We will be contacting each family individually. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. A Message from our Venue: All guests will be required to answer the health survey before entering the Old Lantern. The Old Lantern requires guests to wear a mask inside the Old Lantern while not seated at their table. ie: (walking to and from bar, buffet, restrooms, etc) Masks are not required outside or while seated at your table.
Question

How is the venue handling the safety of our guests with COVID-19?

Answer

The venue has spaced out the tables to help with social distancing and are working with James & Tabby to make sure families that came together are sitting together. They will be doing a health survey upon your arrival to the venue. They have asked James & Tabby to purchase hand sanitzer for all the tables in case guests would like to use it during their visit to The Old Lantern. All of the staff will be wearing face masks and sanitizing regularly. They have sneeze guards for all of the food and the bar to keep our guests as safe as possible. There is also outdoor events if you feel more comfortable being outside. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact James or Tabby.
