The Lantern Hall

Forty Years Aglow

Forty years, still burning bright.

Four decades of candlelit dinners, kept promises and a fire that never went out. Join us for an evening in honour of the two who keep it burning.

  1. 1987

    Married by lamplight

    A February evening, a crowded little hall, and a power cut halfway through the vows. Someone brought lamps; nobody wanted the lights back.

  2. 1992

    The first restaurant

    Twelve seats, one stove, and Priya's grandmother's recipes. We burned the first service and sold out the second.

  3. 1999

    The years abroad

    Three cities in nine years - new kitchens, new winters, and the same two chairs pulled close at the end of every shift.

  4. 2014

    The homecoming

    Back to the old neighbourhood with two grown children and one battered recipe book. The stove lit on the first try; we took it as a sign.

  5. 2027

    Ruby at forty

    Forty years since the lamplight. The fire still takes, every single time.
