What Thomas is working with
This is a demo booking book for The Lantern, Porchlight's own test venue — reset every week, nothing you book here is real. It gives you something concrete to test him against.
Open
Tue–Sat, midday to 9pm · Mon & Sun, midday to 6pm
Deliberately full
Ask for one of these on purpose and see what else Thomas has to offer:
- Every day, 5–6pm→ offers 4:45 or 6:15
- Fri & Sat, 7:30–8:15pm→ offers 7pm or 8:30
- Sunday, 1–1:45pm→ offers 12:30 or 2pm
Already booked
Sam Carter, 07700 900123 — Friday 7pm, table for 4. Try changing it or cancelling it.
On the menu
Sunday roast (Sundays only), pan-seared sea bass, sticky toffee pudding. Dog-friendly, step-free access, beer garden.
Ask him however you'd actually ask — change your mind halfway through, ask about the dog policy, try to book a time he's just told you is gone. He's not reading from a script.
A live demo call, not a real booking — nothing you say here reaches a real restaurant.
