The Kent & East Sussex Railway is inviting guests to forget cooking supper on two Wednesdays later this month, and instead enjoy special suppers on one of its Fish & Chip Evening Special trains.

On Wednesdays, 15th and 29th July, there will be the chance to travel in a heritage carriage hauled by a steam locomotive for an evening of delicious food, while enjoying beautiful views through the picturesque Rother Valley. Even better, guests will not be asked to cook supper or do the washing up.
