 Fish and Chip Specials 2002

Heritage Diesel Unit

Eat Fish & Chips and ride on the train to the seaside

Why not have a traditional British evening out with a train trip through wonderful countryside to the coast, eating chips (with fish or vegetarian option) and drinking some local wine, beer or cider as your leisurely journey proceeds?

When do the Fish and Chip Specials run?

The West Somerset Railway is running a 1960s Vintage Diesel Train from Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton, to Minehead and back again on the following Saturday evenings during 2002...

The Outward Trip

On departure from Bishops Lydeard at 7pm your specially fried food will be served to you in heat retentive containers. You will also be served with your individual bottle of local wine (or non-alcholic alternative). The train will then make a leisurely journey to Minehead, giving plenty of time to take in the beauty of the Quantock Hills and the Exmoor Coast plus the views across the Bristol Channel to South Wales.

Whilst at Minehead...and the Return Trip

The train will arrive in Minehead at 8.00pm, giving 90 minutes for a walk along the seafront or a stroll around the town before setting off on the return journey from Minehead at 9.30pm arriving back at Bishops Lydeard at 10.30pm.

Not only the above, but also...

There will be a micro buffet on the train open throughout the round trip, selling hot and cold drinks, plus beers and ciders from Somerset brewers and farms. You can also purchase cakes and sweets if you fancy a spot of "pudding" after your main meal.
