THE North Norfolk Fryer is returning to the tracks this summer.
Onboard, passengers can enjoy chippy tea and ice cream dessert to make it feel like being at the seaside – but on a heritage steam train instead.
The Norfolk Fryer picks passengers up from Sheringham Station in Norfolk and embarks on a 90-minute return journey to Holt.
Onboard, guests will be served up local fish and chips – and to finish, a tub of Ronaldo’s ice cream.
There’s also a bar onboard for anyone wanting to enjoy a tipple.
The trains run from Sheringham to Holt and back with the return journey taking around 90 minutes.
Diners will get to enjoy their chippy tea and countryside views in either the Gresley Buffet Car, which has been fully restored with a 1930s art deco interior or in one of the 1950s British Railways carriages.
A table for two in First Class starts from £87.50 while a table for two in regular seating is £79.50.
There are also options to sit in tables of three or four if you fancy gong as a group.
Seats are bound to go quickly and you’ll need to book in advance on their website.
The trains set off every Wednesday from April 1, 2026 at 6.30PM.
There are other experiences onboard too from sausage and mash dinners, to brunch, cream tea and even gin trains.
For even more fish and chips, fans of the seaside classic should head up to Whitby.
Here you’ll find Trenchers, which was awarded ‘Restaurant of the Year’ title at the National Fish and Chips Awards 2026.
The awards are considered the ‘Oscars’ of the fish and chip industry and at this spot you can eat in or take away their seaside fish suppers.
You can opt for plaice with chipped potatoes, lemon and homemade tartare sauce for £20.95.
Or try out the cod with chipped potatoes, lemon and homemade tartare sauce in three sizes: small for £15.95; medium for £19.95 and large for £21.95.
Then for takeaway, you could grab cod and chips, haddock and chips or scampi and chips all for £13.50 each.
