A visit to Newent 15 years ago had these two food based establishments next door to each other.
On the left is Soutters Restaurant and on the right is The Tudor Fish & Chip Shop.
Bearing in mind that the concept of fish & chips didn't start up until around the mid 19th century, it is only the building that is dated 1465, not the shop!
The chippy is still there today indeed, but Soutters later went on to become a cafe called the Buttery Tea Rooms.
