An exceptional bottle of port, perfect for a landmark birthday, special occasion or even as an investment. 

Awarded a remarkable 97 points out of 100 by the renowned wine critic, Robert Parker "The 1941 Colheita Tawny Port, bottled in November 2015, is a marvel. The acidity here makes this very lively, startlingly fresh and young. Add the endless finish and lingering flavors to the very fine structure, and this becomes irresistible. Penetrating and intense, it is also simply delicious, the intensity of flavor matching the structure easily. The aromatics are fabulous, too. Put this next to an open window and walk towards it. You should probably be able to smell it from about ten feet away. It is also perfectly balanced. The first time around, at the beginning of my note I wrote "gorgeous" and then repeated it. At the end, I wrote "love, love this." That still seems to sum it up nicely."

The Nevill Crest and Gun is an intriguingly named pub, in a building with over 500 years of history. The 'Nevill Crest' refers quite literally to the crest of the Nevill family, the Earls of Abergavenny, on whose estate the pub was built: it is their monogram that adorns the building and many others in the surrounding area. 

The 'Gun' arose from a forge on the estate which produced cannons and cannon balls for the Nevilles: at one time an ancient cannon, made of strips of metal held together with hoops, was fired on fair days or days of celebration, and it is this that is referred to in the name: after all, many of the local villagers would have been employed in the forge. 

Inside the pub you will find incredibly atmospheric, beamed rooms and roaring fires along with a lighter garden room which overlooks our lawns. 

Enjoy a wonderful meal for four at the wonderful Nevil Crest and Gun. This pub is a firm favourite amongst locals and a great opportunity to have a night away from your munchkins.
