Navigation Inn in Calderdale

Love this place, beautiful food and staff are awesome

I went with my close friend's and family for Sunday lunch. The food and service were great and the desserts were lovely. It is a dog friendly and family friendly pub with lovely staff and I would definitely recommend.

I have had a few drinks in this pub it’s always ended up a great starting pub for a wobble a day out drinking but this is the first I have had some food so I decided today was the day I missed out on Sunday roast but the guy who was serving me recommended beef baguette with fries gravey so that option definitely did work so I took in the oldie wordie inside decor which adds towards the character of the place with comfy seating inside also a nice beer garden over looking the canal with a decent car park . The place is just before the main road before you come into Sowerby but you can see it from the canal so it’s a very handy watering hole but really pleased to have tried the food plus the cliental are much different from your spoons it’s a loverly ideal Place for a peaceful bite to eat or a good selection of ales on offer . The food was very good the weather just held off for me but look forward to calling back .

This pub is great - lovely athmosphere, friendly staff, nice beer and the food was of such a good quality! Will definitely be coming back. They also always have good vegan options on the menu.

Very welcome warming from the staff food and beer is spot on well worth a visit

Great Sunday lunch, special was fish pie....both meals great....puddings unbelievable...and great hand pulled beers and good selection of gins etc....Will be back

What a pub should be. I grudgingly accept food being served. If youre a boat go here there is no excuse. Very dog friendly

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

Fantastic pub. Great staff. Great beer and amazing food

Fantastic Food and great service

First time here for me. Lovely pub.

Food was very average and we waited a long time. Had the fish and chips which were a disappointment. For the price you would expect a bigger portion.

Brilliant little local serving a decent range of beers, wines and spirits at very decent prices. Great food including Sunday lunches, monthly karaoke night and additional Open Mic/folk evening. Staff are great and friendly. Car park even accomodates motorhomes. Everyone welcome.

Fabulous little pub just outside town centre. Really good food and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Nice friendly pub,food good. We'll definitely be calling again

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Amazing tea! Pigs in blankets as a special board starter followed by steak sandwich with garlic mushrooms. Absolutely delicious.

Food outstanding, shame when we booked a specific table it was given to someone else.

Excellent Sunday roast great staff lovely location

Lovely local pub serving good pub food. ♥️ Dog friendly. Great beer served well! Thank you. This may be our new local foody dog pub!

Really friendly place, good selection of drinks and snacks.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch, not having visited for several years. A friendly welcome and clean and pleasant. We ordered our meal which unfortunately took much longer than normal to arrive. The meals did not disappoint however. Very well cooked and enjoyable. Congratulations for having a tasty Porter beer on draught.

Lovely food, not over expensive

A great cosy pub next to the canal. We had a late lunch there with my kids (1 & 3 years old). The staff were great with the kids and we were very welcome! The food was delicious and generous too. A lovely spot, we will be back.

Sadly a bit hit and miss, first they'd run out of blue cheese for the blue cheese & steak baguette, so we opted for goats cheese. The steak was non existent in one sandwich so it was an expensive cheese butty. I had the lamb kofta which was lovely and well presented the nann wrap was a nice touch and tasty. But the onion rings were in edible and tasted & looked like they had been cooked a few times before been served to us. The barman was friendly and served quickly.

Lovely place Great location Great food Dog friendly

Great little pub, nice location and reasonable pints

Very nice pub had a lovely meal there with family i must say the desserts looked so lovely the chocalate cake and the peanut and caramel but i was full but yeh everything was lovely

Lovely food and the fact i could take my dog inside with us

Nice old pub 10 minutes walk from sowerby bridge centre. Definitely worth a look if you like cask ales, and the traditional style of pub. Food menu looked good. Outdoor seating area. Liked it. 👍

Lovely canal side pub great food and helpful staff.

We'd had a long day and got to the Navigation in the nick of time for food which turned out to be excellent! And then the Karaoke started and we had a real laugh. Great fun!!

Very friendly, good table service and a well priced menu. Delicious fried fish baguette sandwich.

Great staff, amazing food. Definitely coming again!

Great local pub, good food and selection of drinks. Smashing garden

Absolutely fantastic landlady is warm & welcoming friendly 😀 all staff are great spotlessly clean & karaoke on a Friday great night ..highly recommend xxx

I recently visited the Navigation pub to grab a quick lunch and was thoroughly impressed with the quality and taste of their food. The menu had a wide selection of dishes to choose from, but I settled on the steak and blue cheese baguette, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The dish was perfectly cooked, and the blue cheese was the ideal accompaniment to the tender and juicy steak. The baguette was crispy and fresh, and the chips were perfectly cooked. The portion size was generous, which left me feeling full and satisfied. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my lunch experience all the more enjoyable. The pub itself had a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, which made for a comfortable and pleasant dining experience. I would highly recommend the Navigation pub to anyone looking for a quick lunch or a lovely meal in a relaxed and inviting setting. If you're a fan of steak and blue cheese, their baguette is definitely worth trying!

Food good staff so helpful could not fault would recommend 👌

Just my go to place when in Sowerby, great beers and friendly people make this just a great pub.

Visited for the first time, won't be our last. Friendly local pub atmosphere, food was nice too. Hubby had a burger and I had the chicken burger both delicious.

Great pub, great food, great location and great staff 👍

A good selection of cask ales. Good location on the canal with outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

Good selection of real ales and friendly, traditional atmosphere.

Lovely pub with welcoming staff. Didn't stop for food this time, just a pint outside in the sunshine

We come here for a drink since we moved to the area last year. It's such a nice and friendly pub, we love the location too. We recently tried their food and now it's our fave pub grub in town. It's delicious 😋 Fresh, home cooked meals full of flavour and reasonably priced.

Lovely historic building, good selection of ales. Plenty of outdoor space and good locale

Lovely food, great staff and such a lovely location.

Lovely pub not been in for a couple of years but still as good as ever. Food and beer excellent

No atmosphere and seemed pretty run down. Perhaps because it isn't summer season and was midweek evening. Not much of a view although we sat outside.

Called in for lunch and was freshly made and very tasty Very pleased

Fantastic service fantastic food can’t wait to navigate there on the next Sunday lunch 👍👍👍

Very friendly traditional pub with excellent food at reasonable prices, dog friendly

didnt eat just had a few pints but can not fault it

Top loaded fries!! Decent pint too!!

Great place food was great recommend this place to anyone

Came in today and had the deep fried cheese, buffalo wings and hot beef butty. No other word can describe this meal other than SENSATIONAL. Thank you for the amazing food, stand out service and making us feel welcome. If I lived nearby I would be proud to call The Navigation my local.

Another excellent meal with traditional live music. Great atmosphere and very friendly. Definitely recommend 😀

Locals place, quiet and friendly. Some good drinks at the bar. Plenty of parking and a nice walk by the canal

Great service bar lady was extremely pleasant. lovely food and good value .Will return soon.

4 of us called for a Christmas lunch on a cold and miserable Wednesday. This pub is lovely warm and welcoming. The staff are lovely and friendly, and the local ales are kept to a very high standard. The food was decent enough, I will...

Had a absolutely fantastic night lovely bar staff . Brilliant karaoke night highly recommend 💖

Great homemade style pub grub with really friendly staff. Loved it!

Excellent range of beers, great Christmas dining menu with lots of choice and very friendly staff.

Great old Inn serving good variety of real ales. Interesting quiz with possibly the best quiz-night food ever.

Nice friendly pub called in for a meal Wednesday early evening Food excellent and food temperature Of what should be hot was hot

Fantastic little pub with great beers and food.

We stayed at the Navigation and were met with superb hospitality! Location is fantastic, excellent home cooked food by talented chefs. Manager Jenny makes everyone very welcome and we loved it! Can't wait to return to this wonderful spot 😍 Beautiful walks nearby, parking and...

Excellent Sunday roast today with great choice of meats, and vegetarian options . The sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and ice cream finished it off a treat. Will definitely be returning. Great, friendly atmosphere with wonderful service

What a lovely pub and what lovely people. The landlady and bar staff were lovely. We are looking forward to going back for Sunday lunch They allowed us to stay in the carpark overnight so we had a lovely walk by the canal.

Seems a lovely little pub. But small. Didn't have food but it had a decent ale selection

Nice local food looked nice good selection of drinks

Fantastic menu,lovely people, friendly atmosphere and we had the house special burgers and they were to die for,good range of beers.call in if your passing while walking the canal you will not be disappointed

This pub is tucked away down a very small lane next to the canal, but it is well worth seeking out. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The selection of beer was good and the Ossett Brewery Blonde that I had was very well kept. The food was exactly as described on the menu, piping hot and very tasty - and plenty of it. Really enjoyed this pub, if you are in the area pop in and have a lovely time.

Lovely traditional pub with great food (best fish and chips I have eaten in a very long time!) service was great - highly recommend

Excellent food and drinks. Lovely location.

Had a fab lunch here today which was lovely I had a med veg sandwich with fries and salad he had beef sandwich and they spoilt our dog with treats but ask before they gave them...they let us leave our car in carpark while we...

We visited the navigation recently we waited over 1 hour. The food was terrible. When i asked the chef about the food he was very shirty and he were not a nice chap at all to ask about the dishes . Not to be recommended at all to anyone unless the want to be physical sick!

Lovely friendly service and great food

We went today for lunch, didn't book and got a table. Nice to see quite a few people there eating. I had a haddock fish cake (2) with salad leaves and garlic butter sauce, (starter) very tasty, would recommend. My daughter had small fish, chips and mushy peas, good size portion and also very tasty. Lots of choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Very nice staff, quick service. I would recommend and will definitely return.

nice friendly pub good beer good atmosphere and the cajun chicken burger was delicious

We moored up very near to the Navigation and ate there on two occasions. Both times the meals were top quality and they don't skimp on the portions. It is certainly somewhere I have marked on my map for a return visit when I am passing Sowerby Bridge again.

Stopped off with friends for a few drinks, thought I'd have a quick look at the menu and we were immediately tempted. The food is brilliant, the best I've had in a long time. Better still the atmosphere is great, the staff are soo friendly...

A lovely accidental find what a gem.lovely real ales

Friendly pub vibe with plenty of outdoor seating and canal views. Staff are excellent

Lovely family friendly pub with great food and ales.

Nice little pub food good staff present and friendly

Having had a very pleasant walk along the canal and around the basin we finished up in this traditional canal pub. Nice outside area to sit and watch the canal and enjoy one of the many beers on draft.

Proper pub with good beer and food. Dog friendly too.

Very nice and very welcoming Lovely beer too Will be going again.

Great meals, friendly staff, good selection of ales, inside or outside eating.

Ive lived in sowerby bridge all my life and this is the best i have seen this pub in a long time. We called in for a meal with friends, welcoming staff, great food and a warm atmosphere. Thanks again jenny and staff x

What a great friendly welcoming pub with amazing food. Be sure to give it a visit - well worth it. First class service and food, the sea bass with chorizo cream on a bed of spring onion mash a unusual combination but just AMAZING! Thank...

very nice good peer food looks great but didn't have any but will definitely try it

Nice pint of Wainwright, friendly staff

Been a few times since moving to the area. Always really friendly staff, good beer and does the best fish and chips, friends have tried other meals.... also good 👍

Lovely spot for a refreshing pint after a nice walk on the canal.

A nice pint in a great setting.

Good place to visi, good food and drink and dog friendly

Exquisite seabass dish I would have again and again!!! I've eaten here quite a few times but would normally go for the Sunday roast but not this time and am so glad I didn't. The seabass was served with scallion mash, a chorizo cream sauce...

First time visited here for food and drinks. Food was first class and would definitely recommend to all.
