Chicken drummer?! Ah, Tesco has helped me out here:

"Chopped and shaped turkey with added milk proteins from cows' milk coated in breadcrumbs"

Mmmmm......
it never ceases to amaze me what tawts in london will waste money on
Speaking as the voice of pragmatism, we're stuck with the cable car and anything that helps it pay its way can only be a good thing. After all, it isn't like the dining experience will be inconveniencing commuters.
Perhaps the interesting thing is the lifestyle of those people who think this sort of thing is attractive proposition.

Many of them live their lives now as a series of events, or experiences, and try to fit in as many as possible, not doing all this stuff is deemed as failure by them.
So the journey will be slowed down to 18 minutes? I hope all three regular commuters have travelled by then.
Dear DG, would you like a ticket so you can review the experience for your readers?
It's all just pie in the sky.
"Next month's paid guests "

Don't you mean "paying"? (@£79.50 per cover)

Do they do a NYE bash too?
A ballotine (Larosse spelling) is a hot or cold meat dish, usually boned chicken or fish in aspic, that is rolled up and poached or braised.

Death trumpet mushrooms. Mmmmm.
My wife and I actually did something very like this in Singapore a couple of years ago. It was . . . good? The food wasn't anything special, by Singapore standards at least, but it was an interesting experience. The cars were just for 2 people, though, and I think it came in around £60 for the pair of us. Probably cheaper because it's a regular offer, not a pop-up type thing.
this blog post appears to be thirty-eight days late. expect my delay replay claim with all haste.
The food will have to be prepared elsewhere & shipped in on the day, which is not ideal..
Toad Stools..Ye Gods!
Oh I am so tempted to show up with a chicken bucket and can of value beer and gawp!
hand dived scallops ... that is opposed to scallops harvested by trawling which I gather leaves the sea bed looking like a desert

Stuck with the dangleway?

I thought the whole point of it was it could be easily packed back into its box so to speak and reassembled at another site. Bit like a fairground big wheel.
Everyone needs a little 'intimate dangle-time' in their lives.
I, too, was taken aback at Toad Stools.
I'd like to turn up on the day just to see the kind of person that thinks this might be a 'fun' and 'cool' thing to do.
Sadiq Khan done the right thing by stopping the garden bridge being built, he should now sell this off as it is or dismantle it for scrap.
What is the problem with it though? It raises money. I actually think TFL should do more of these events...
When the Tories win is it possible to prise open the doors and jump?
Unlike the Garden Bridge, the Dangleway will remain open for the general public during this Jolly, so it won't inconvenience the regular user.

Perhaps the next thing will be Pullman cars on the Metropolitan Line
The booking form (sold out, as you say) states that the dessert is served on the return journey, with donuts (sic) on 'landing'.

dg writes: The booking form menu and the Evening Standard preview disagree over the precise location of the second half of the meal.
This rather confuses me. How big are the pods, big enough for 2 separate tables or are 2 couples forced to share a table? Is there room for a waiter to actually serve one (and then stand/sit and watch) or is the food 'dumped' and you have 18 minutes to down it? Whatever the facts, as an early comment pointed out, there seem to be plenty of idiots in London with money to burn. Yes, I could afford the £159 but it is hardly value for money is it? Better ride the Dangleway, get some good home food from M&S or Waitrose and give the balance to charity.
@nameless - surely the problem is that this is supposed to be a public transport service, not a tourist attraction, and that things like this just make the situation worse.

That is the fundamental issue with the Dangleway from my point of view.
Emirates Airline T&Cs:

Open alcohol containers are not permitted on the Emirates Air Line. Eating is not forbidden, but we would prefer that people waited until before or after their journey to eat. As with all public transport, please try to be considerate of your fellow travellers. You may be requested to not bring food on board or dispose of food that is likely to cause offence to other passengers.

So no alcohol with the meal?

Julian - the image DG used shows the table laid out four abreast....

Will they be providing Dangle Bags in case you haven't managed to wolf everything down in 18 minutes flat?
Food month event ID109103

"[Brand name], the premium crisps and dips restaurant in Soho, is partnering with [gin brand] to create three exclusive [gin brand] flavoured dips, which will be partnered with their sweet and savoury crisps and available to purchase for £6.75."
Available throughout June
No booking required

Perhaps we could dedicate the other Boris Vanity project to tourist duty too, by transferring the Borismasters to sightseeing work. Converting them to open top would also solve the ventilation problems, and make the top deck less gloomy.

Only thing is, there are now a thousand of them.
From the cablecar conditions of carriage:

"on the Emirates Air Line and in our terminals, you must not consume alcohol or be in possession of an open container of alcohol. (...)

"NOTE: For certain events or for customers in possession of the relevant experience ticket, alcohol may be served and consumed on the Emirates Air Line (for which the relevant licence is held) and as provided for in the Byelaws, notices will be displayed advising of a relaxation of this condition and the relevant Byelaw. This relaxation will only apply to those taking part in the advertised events and experiences; all other passengers will need to comply with Condition 4.5 in full."

(Has anyone analyzed the commercial opportunities out of a Circle Line Binge Experience ticket?)
Timbo: only a thousand? If the tourist "industry" is going to take up the slack when the finance "industry" has decamped to Frankfurt, we're going to need more than that!
Perhaps they meant Toads' Tools.
