Christmas Giveaway

It has been an incredible Christmas season so far at La Lanterna. We were overwhelmed with the fantastic response to our competition last week and delighted to be named the Best Italian Restaurant in Glasgow at the Glasgow Restaurant Awards on Monday.

We are very happy, but we are also very aware that not everyone will be having such a great time this Christmas, so we want to give something back to the local community that has been so supportive recently.

We will be giving away two Italian hampers filled with goodies to two deserving people in Glasgow in time for Christmas.

To nominate someone, simply tell us who they are and why they are not looking forward to Christmas this year. The giveaway will run until 12:00pm on Tuesday 18^th December.

Recipients must live in Glasgow or surrounding areas and be aged 18 years or above. They must also be able to collect the hamper from La Lanterna restaurant, Glasgow.

We will choose two of the nominated people to receive one of our Christmas hampers and will contact the people who nominated them to arrange collection.

Post your suggestion on our Facebook page (the giveaway is pinned to the top of our wall) or tweet us. Please include @lalanterna1970 and #LLhamper in your tweet so we can see all suggestions.

Here's What Happened Next


The winner of our Christmas competition is Eileen Kelly. Along with a number of others, Eileen correctly guessed answer C - The chefs start doing different dance routines. Clearly our chefs must seem the dancing type!  

Congratulations to Eileen and, of course, big thanks to everyone that entered our Christmas competition.
