Fish & Chip Supper « Spa Valley Railway

British tradition and heritage trains!
Enjoy an evening train ride with a meal of traditional fish & chips on board one of our heritage trains. Our Fish & Chip Supper trains operate throughout the year on selected special event days, and you can book tickets for just £30 per adult or £24 per child.

You will board the train at Tunbridge Wells West and set off down the line, travelling through the glorious High Weald. Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch from a local proper chip shop, followed by a slice of cake for dessert. The price also includes a drink!

Your tickets are valid for train travel all day, so if you want to remain on board, you might need to sit in another part of the train. We do have other experiences available, and you'd be more than welcome to join them.

Your experience tickets are valid for travel on any of the evening trains we are operating on the day of your visit. The food will be served following the departure of the train, as stated on your e-ticket.
