If you are coming from abroad, you simply cannot do a stint in Britain, without sampling the world famous fish and chips. Much has been said about the national dish over the years, with some showering it in praise and others of a more exotic palette left baffled as to why a basic dish harbours so many legions of fans. Never the less, battered cod or haddock along side a portion of french fries holds a special place in many British and indeed international hearts. Despite its simplicity and basic cooking requirements, this wholesome dish is not always served to perfection. It is often served up by those who are less than connoisseurs, so when selecting a place worthy of your first fish ’n’ chips experience choose wisely.
So, here’s a fish ’n’ chips experience that is so much more than just a simple sit down meal. Should you choose to have yours at the Ravenglass and Erskdale Railway, you will not only devour sensational fish ’n’ chips, you will also enjoy another iconic British experience- a ride on a steam train. Hop on the train from Ravenglass at 6pm and enjoy a fish supper at Fellbites Cafe, Dalegarth for Boot Station. Tickets are priced at £10.50 per person and the experience takes place between 6pm and 10 pm. There are opportunities to attend throughout the year, with the first date occurring on the 17th of February. Bon appetite!
