Eating Before Lighting

I was asked about going to a wedding and partaking of the seuda before lighting Chanuka candles. It is generally forbidden to eat before lighting.

I found a very interesting pask of HaRav Vosner Shlita who said that the decree not to eat before lighting is only if one is at home and we fear that he might get so into the meal that he will forget to light. But if one is away from home and will be returning, we do not fear that he will forget.

I thank the asker for facilitating the learning of this halacha....
