It seems that unexpectedly I may be staying in or near Ipswich tomorrow night.
Does anyone know of a hotel or restaurant in the area which has a decent selection of port for a thirsty traveller?

Perhaps Seckfords would allow you to pitch a camp bed in their warehouse at Dock Lane for the evening?

I have noticed that I will be close to Seckfords. Sadly John has said he needs 48 hours notice to add me to my reserves.

Try the Salt House Harbour hotel on the waterfront, last time I was there (2 years ago) they had a couple of mature vintages by the bottle, and some by the glass. Unfortunately I am in Keswick this week otherwise I would have suggested a much better option.....

I did take a look at the Salt House Harbour hotel wine list on the web, but they didn't have anything better than LBV so I ended up in Hintelsham Hall. They have a couple of vintage ports on their list, but you'll have to check the other thread to see what they are...
