Restaurant Suspended by a crane on ground before lift off. horizontal view 100882_Turkey
Daredevil gourmets can enjoy the ultimate in adrenaline-fuelled dining - at a table suspended 165ft in the air. The 'Dinner in the Sky' restaurant suspends up to 22 diners in the air by a giant crane, where a chef prepares their meal. Patrons, who are held in place by seatbelts, are served by three brave waiters as they make the most of the spectacular views of their chosen location. Each seat can recline and rotate 180 degrees in order that diners can fully appreciate the experience. The chef, waiters and an entertainer work from the safety of the centre of the table, which is fitted with a small oven to prepare the food. The restaurant, which costs from £10,000 to hire, is available anywhere in the world - the only condition being that the site has enough room to mount the crane. The team simply drives the crane to the site, where set-up takes approximately two hours. The 9x5m table, which weighs six tons, is mounted on a metal superstructure and surrounded by chairs. The structure is attached to the 120-ton crane by a thick steel cable and is raised and lowered by a member of the team in a cabin at ground level. A second crane can be added if diners want to enjoy entertainment such as a piano or a live band while they eat. They can also choose their chef and menu.
