Hereβs Emma our General Manager and co-owner Paul We just wanted to say a big thank you to everybody
β’
We are very proud of how The Lamplighter team have adapted and changed during these weird times. Changing our usual operating procedures in line with constantly evolving government guidelines has been a huge challenge for us and for everybody in our industry. We really feel for all of those other pubs, cafes and restaurants who like us, are all adapting whilst trying their upmost to retain jobs for their staff and protect their businesses.
β’
Our staff - past and present - have all contributed in making The Lamp a warm, friendly and welcoming place to be, so a big thank you to you all. Hospitality not only provides a great starting point in peopleβs career - whether they remain in hospitality or not - but also has major benefits in their personal development, where many lifelong skills are learned. The importance of protecting this industry mustnβt go overlooked.
β’
We also feel for those in the arts and creative industries and hope things can improve very soon for those sectors too. We are slowly returning to having events starting with laid-back DJ sessions on Saturdays, but we cant wait to return to hosting live music, comedy and providing space for music and community groups sometime soon
β’
We have been overwhelmed by the support and good wishes from you all since we reopened in July, so thank you to you all. The Lamplighter family owned independent business and youβve helped it become such a great place for those reasons already mentioned
β’
Supporting and paying back into our local economy has always been at the core of what we do, by working with independent local producers and suppliers over the last 11 years. We intend to continue doing so πΊ
β’
So many familiar faces of the Northamptonians we know and love β€
Happy Monday! We wanted to share this fab shot of the Northampton Saints ground taken from the top of the Lift Tower! Look at that view π
