Navigation Inn in Warwick

Just had a lovely meal at the Navigation inn. The food was delicious, especially the cauliflower cheese, you get your money’s worth, fantastic service, the staff are happy and serve with a smile. I would definitely recommend this pub for food and I’ll be back very soon!

Visited twice, lovely warm greeting from Charlotte and her staff. Pub was clean and warm. The meals we had were very good. The service was excellent will be back again.

EXCELLENT, Fantastic meal, lovely staff. Great service.Visited twice and we weren't disappointed. OMG ! try the burger

Stopped for Sunday lunch as we were passing through and were very hungry. We are both vegetarian so ordered the vegan toast with a butternut sage and spinach pie and added a Yorkshire pudding. I’ll start with the positives, nicely cooked veg and fabulous yorkie! The food arrived after waiting 45 minutes. However the pie was filled with a “ball” of what appeared to be frozen spinach in the middle of a pie dish, stuffing and diced butternut squash, no sauce at all! Roast potatoes were undercooked and hard and the pie was topped with a square of puff pastry adhered to the side of the bowl. Gravy was served in a shallow tapas dish. The “pie” was dry and required extra gravy which after having to put into my pie dish left no gravy for the rest of the toast dinner. Went to the bar to ask for more gravy and advised them my pie was dry and she responded with, the fish of gravy is to pour into your pie. Couldn’t eat all of the pie filling as quite frankly the amount of gravy that made is palatable made is turn so salty it was inedible. Ate the rest as we were continuing our journey and were very hungry. Now have a very bad stomach ache. Honestly guys if you can’t be bothered to make a palatable veggie roast dinner, just take it off the menu!

Excellent Sunday Roast, super friendly and accommodating staff, nice beer selection, doggo friendly - lovely building and easy mooring canal side

Having decided to enjoy the sunshine and go for lunch at a traditional canalside pub we were disappointed that the already limited menu was limited further by the fact they had ran out of fish & chips the ham & hock pie. With our two first choices unavailable we both opted for the hessian chicken burger at £15.95. When it arrived we were disappointed to say the least. The burger consisted of a small chicken breast, a slice of tomato, a small slice of gherkin and one small piece of lettuce. The bun was extremely small and looked like the burger buns you can get in a pack from any high street supermarket. Accompanying the burger we also received a dozen chip. Unfortunately we left feeling that we had been ripped off and will therefore not be returning.

Avoid at all costs if having food!! It was a 0 from me.. ordered the spaghetti which came out freezing cold! Which I complained about, the dish then came back out 15 minutes minutes later! They also had no cheese for this! This spaghetti tased and looked like a microwave meal and was a shocking £16.50 such a shame no idea who has taken over but they need to give their head a wobble or just give up! Absolute vile!!!

Having given the Navi a wide berth for the last couple of years, after hearing how bad it had become under the new owners, the lure of the pub garden on a summer's afternoon persuaded me to visit with some friends. On entering the pub, my initial impression was how dark it was as everything had been painted brown, really depressing. There were no customers inside the pub, a far cry from the old days where you were always assured a warm welcome from the many locals and visitors who frequented the pub. Only two cask ales were available and as you can see from my photo, my pint didn't look particularly appealing, although admittedly, it tasted better than it looked. We took our drinks into the pub garden which now has nice new furniture however the lovely hanging baskets that the previous management festooned the patio with, have all gone. Not many other customers came in while we there. It's such a shame that a village pub in such a prime location has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that few people now go there. The owners need to have a serious re-think on how they are running this pub and how they go about getting the many locals, walkers and boaters to return.

Gave it another try, but seriously a waste of time. Staff have bad attitude and service is appalling . Manageress seems more interested in picking a fight than in customer service

1. The girl that works the bar seems to think she is a bouncer and tells everyone if they step out of line they will have trouble with her, she is not the right person to have at a country pub. She feels its necessary to intimidate folks 2. They never seem to have enough food to full fill the menu 3. The place needs a deep clean and then they need to get a cleaner in daily 4. They never seem to have enough staff on 5. Used to be a great boozer but its gone down hill 6. They shut the kitchen as weird times

Ordered the Caesar Salad, came with no egg, sent it back and waited at least 10 mins before giving up (as all my friends had finished eating) and requesting a refund. My friend's chicken sandwich did not materialise and she also asked for her money back - the manager came and unfortunately did not apologise but said he's doing it now' to which we replied we had to go. One of my friends who had a sandwich didn't get piccadilly with it (and despite asking it never materialised). Another friend had the Caesar Salad with chicken and said the croutons were very soggy and there was far too much mayo dressing on it. Altogether a disappointing experience, we will find somewhere else to eat next time.

Went for lunch, burger was fantastic, served in a brioche bun with side of fries which were cooked perfectly. Others in the party opted for Sunday lunch, which they would recommend, especially the pork. Service was prompt and friendly. Only downside was the kids choice of dessert (only ice cream available). Would return and recommend to others!

Zero atmosphere . Staff need training and a uniform . One of the barstaff looked like she'd just come from a night out . And all the missing beer pumps . Gave the whole place an air of neglect . And instead of the smell of roasting meats and gravy . The main bar just reeked of cheap perfume .

Typical pub grub and not very exciting menu. My plate was piled high which I believe is what some people want from a pub meal - I do not. I was totally put off by the sight of it and on top of that all my vegetables were undercooked and cold. The server did bring me a new bowl of vegetables but I had been so put off it didn't help with my opinion.

We ate here one afternoon after spotting it from the canal. We moored up and came over for lunch and got there just in time to eat. We sat outside in the shade on a very hot day and it was a lovely place to sit and cool down. The covered area outside is beautifully done and there are two enormous weeping willows through which you can just see the narrowboats coming past on the canal. Officially the kitchen closes at 3pm and we ordered bang on 3pm. There was some doubt at first about whether they would be able to serve us but they agreed to do so in the end which was very kind of them. The food when it arrived was absolutely beautiful and very generous portions. The beer's great too. The staff were all very young and seemed to really enjoy working together but were also polite and professional when at our table. We loved it here and cannot wait to visit again.

The location is great adjacent to the canal. We moored further away and went for lunch. Great outdoors area with plenty of tables. Staff were great and very attentive. Menu a little sparse especially for vegan don.

Nice canal setting appeared to be new furnishings under outdoor canopy food ok chips better suited to have with a Big Mac. Service very poor took nearly an hour for our drinks to arrive . In total it took nearly three hours to order and finish our order which was only a posh sandwich. The quickest thing to arrive was the bill . Not sure we will be going back.

Lovely beer garden at the side the canal. Good selection of drinks for all tastes. Expensive but probably average for the area.

We arrived on time but no greeter or Covid check in. Waited half an hour for a drink. We refused request to leave a credit card behind the bar! Another 40 minutes for food but no cutlery. We had about 3 different servers all unaware of what others were doing for us. Food was good and catered for one coeliac and one vegetarian. Nicely presented but the whole thing was a shambles.

Such friendly service from our waiter Ewan, great outdoor covid friendly eating under a canopy with heaters, delicious food (the seabass was amazing!) and it was super family friendly- we brought our twins in a buggy and they were very accommodating. Thank you- we'll be back again soon!

HiWe found the staff very rude, waited nearly half an hour for a drinks order for then one of the staff members to say if we wasnt eating we had to move when we was appointed the seat by a member of staff. We was not asked if we was eating or just drinks therefore, that wasnt our problem if we was in the wrong seating area.One of the girls then got the bill wrong we had one drink and was given the previous bill!Very poor service.

First time we’ve been able to meet up with relatives for over a year. They live nr. Solihull so we chose the Navigation Inn at Lapworth. Nice location on the canal. Nice size garden and some covered seating too, so all good. The waitress who took our order was very nice, friendly and helpful. She seemed a little older than the other staff which is probably why she was the only friendly, helpful member of staff! The food was average, not good not bad. It was also tepid by the time we got it. We asked for no tartare sauce on the fish dish but it came with sauce which covered some of the food meaning that the person who had ordered that couldn’t eat part of his meal. We would normally have sent it back but the service was slow so we didn’t want to wait any longer. The menu was limited but that seems to be the norm in most places at the moment. It was our first get together for ages so we had a good time, but I wish I could have rated the Navigation inn above average.

Nice enough outside, ok beer and decent steak sandwich. But. Rip off prices and horrid macdonalds style chips. Come on peel some spuds.

I haven’t been to this pub for a very long time, thanks Covid!! The staff at the Navigation Inn made our visit so welcoming. Service was excellent with very friendly staff and the food was honestly superb.. I read a previous negative review which I completely disagree with. Nothing was too much for the lovely staff here and let’s face it since restrictions have been lifted everyone wants to sit outside of a pub. Sometimes people look to be negative which is a great shame. I have booked in for Father’s Day.

Local canal side pub serving great food and great beer The staff are always friendly and as a solo female take the time to make you feel welcomedTo the review that said shambolic maybe a thought should be spared for the 12 and 14 hour days worked by the staff since opening up again and that they do go out of their way to spare some time to say a few words Also I don’t think they can be blamed for the bottled gas shortage currently being experienced in many areas - if they can’t get it we can’t have it This is England in April outside -anything can happen !!Put another layer on bring a wrap and just enjoy this rather special place and it’s offerings

We were amongst the first people to arrive at lunch time, a beautiful sunny day and we sat in the field area. We had at least four different servers in the time we were there and there was just no organisation amongst staff. Drinks took ages, then menus arrived, ages later our order was taken and when food finally arrived, we then had to go and find cutlery and condiments ourselves( of which none were Covid friendly as in use of sachets etc).The menu was overpriced, a chicken tikka wrap and fries was nearly £10 and the chicken was dry as a bone and fries were cold.When there has been four months to get organised and have a system in place then there is no excuse for this poor standard. A real shame.

Outdoor bar with no one behind it.Waited an hour to get served a drink.Owner was more interested in serving himself and getting pissed with his mates.Miserable staff.Advertised heated seating areas but had no gas for their gas Outdoor heaters - even though we called in advance specifically requesting this.Aussie bar man swearing his mouth off.A number of staff stating that they weren't coming into work the next day.The crazy thing is, the pub wasn't even that busy.Would I rush to go back there..... DEFINITELY NOT!

We visited the navigation as a walk in after using their car park to start our hike. We had a late lunch, arriving at about one. This is a lovely pub in such a wonderful location. It is smart, well kept, clean, with mixed clientelle all of whom were quietly enjoying a day in the sun......it was busy.....but didn't feel crowded at all. The food was lovely, the only gripe we have is that the young table staff, as wonderfully as polite hardworking and helpful as they were weren't particularly getting a handle on the backlog of drinks and trying to get the attention of somebody to clear the table or order food was a nightmare. When we could eventually place an order, our food came out promptly but after finishing it we still hadn't received our drinks. Three members of staff were asked and eventually around two hours after having actually placed the order the drinks appeared. Not knocking them too much as it was the first weekend open for trade in the pandemic and we expect there may be hiccups.Will be back and hopefully the ordering issue will be resolved.

We moved into Lapworth 12 months ago and to have this place on our doorstep is incredible. Really friendly staff, our waitresses today Mihaela has great energy, a great asset to the establishment. So pleased we moved a few doors away... whoop whoop 🙌 🙌

We came here for the first time after a visit to Baddesley Clinton. The pub looks lovely inside and out. For summer weather there are plenty of outdoor tables on the large grass area which is right next to the canal. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. This place is a one hour drive for me to get to but even if we didn't get to visit a National Trust property, I will be returning with friends and family because of the food. Especially on a special occasion like a birthday. Really top marks.

Run by a husband and wife team from Yorkshire, this canal side haven serves the finest cask ale in the county, never a bad pint. Lagers too and did I mention the only hand pull Guiness in the country? The food has also become a very good feature of the pub and the use of an additional outdoor bar and awning (to be fully curtained in winter time with heaters) is an additional feature. My favourite food, sea bass is always good and the staff are very professional and attentive.

Great Canalside pub & restaurant. The fish finger and Sausage sandwich we’re brilliant, served with fries and salad. Fast efficient, friendly service - sit in the garden next to the canal. Looking forward to our return trip!

Stopped off for lunch after A dog walk and was so impressed! We stubbled upon this pub and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. My husband and I had fish ginger sandwich and beef and horseradish with chunky chips and salad on the side. Both sandwiches were excellent! Lovely setting with various different seating areas right on the canal. Staff wore masks, were spraying tables after each customer. They were all so helpful and friendly. Hand sanitiser available in several places and I one way system in place. Will definitely be going back.

Wonderful roast dinner with all the trimmings and the biggest Yorkshire pudding I’ve ever seen. Food was fresh and home cooked - wonderful! Always great food and friendly service!

We always go for a canal walk this is our favourite for a pit stop food is fine drinks are good in last 2/3 years prices have gone up . In comparison to local pubs the food has always been affordable and good . So please don’t hike it anymoreThe staff are brilliant Always polite and friendly No masks on staff and they they don’t social distance . I think with cases rising they may have to do so Hood entry and exit system in place

Rang the previous day to confirm timings as we wanted to sit in the beer garden to eat and advised to come at 12pm as it was Bank Holiday. We arrived, no issues in finding a table in the garden, which was half full and queued for the food order waiting 25 x mins because of COVID guidelines (no issues with any of this)But when we got to the bar to order food we were advised they had stopped taking food orders as they were too busy - This was the same staff who had just watched us queue and didn't bother to tell us...Utterly useless !!Cannot comment about the food, I’m sure its OK but the art seems to be to actually get it.We left and wont be returning !!

Had a lovely meal here with good service and great food. Lamb was delicious. Portions were generous and staff very friendly. Great setting by the canal would visit again.

Booked a table for 2 for our wedding anniversary - Dinner service. Weather wasnt great so didnt venture out to explore the canal and surroundings. We ordered a couple of drinks at the bar and were seated. Our server told us we needed to order everything at once otherwise we’d have delays in the food coming out. We weren’t going to be rushed so we ordered a rustic bread appetiser while we perused the rest of the menu. When the breads came we ordered the starter and mains and asked for the food to be paced out. Well the starter came within 5 mins of our breads and once we’d finished, our mains came straight away. We returned the mains back and asked them again to pace out our meal. Which our server finally did.The food itself was excellent and BIG portions - the rustic breads had lovely flavours, we shared a garlic prawn starter which again was lovely and our mains (Lamb rump and Salmon) were delicious. Enjoyable experience overall but felt we were being hurried along.

I called in advance to check the gluten free options and felt reassured that there would be plenty of choice. The person I spoke to said they would make sure the staff who served us would be aware, and they were working on a gluten free menu. So I felt confident going to the restaurant...When we arrived there was sanitiser available... the actual dining room felt very unsafe with tables very close together and staff leaning over us! If youre feeling worried about covid still this is not the place to go.I asked about the gluten free options. The girl serving us said there is a menu and disappeared to get it but then returned with a menu with ticks and stars from the chef... i wanted the goats cheese salad but was told that's not gluten free but I could have the haloumi. I questioned why and the server didn't know. I had the haloumi and my partner had the goats cheese and I could see no reason why I couldn't have that...The server was confused about my options for main. It seems I could have fish and chips, burger and chips or pasta... even though the chips are cooked in the fryer gluten items. I opted for steak and was told I could only have new potatoes with it - no other sides were available as gluren free (although my server suggested I could remove potatoes to make the dish gf). The portion was generous, the steak was tasty and cooked really well. There was a huge portion of new potatoes... i asked for some butter and was handed a ramekin full of butter.. and also crumbs so I just gave up using that! The people I was with said their meals were nice. The portion sizes were good. I think if I hadn't spoken to the restaurant earlier in the day I wouldn't have been expecting to feel safe to eat there... i didn't enjoy my meal because I was worried.This is a very convenient stop for canal boats and there is a large beer garden with tables... but i would not hurry back.

We had a lovey meal here with friends. We were seated promptly and the service was good. The food was varied and there were some different options to the normal sort of stuff as well- Jerk Tuna springs to mind which my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed. My only reason for dropping a mark is that the table we sat on (first one down the steps in the restaurant) felt quite out in the open with everyone walking past you, it was also quite cramped for four of us.

Good staff, good food and good service. The only reason for the lower score is that they don't appear to have adjusted the eating area at all to allow for social distancing. Forget 1m distance separation let alone 2 metres - there's one table that everyone walked closely right past to get in and the central area of the restaurant area had people sitting back to back so close they could touch each others chairs with their chairs.Its a pity as the food is good but unless they institute some separation between tables, we won't be going back. If we hadnt got a relative with us, we would have gone elsewhere.They need half the number of tables in the restaurant area.

We went to the Navigation Inn to celebrate our Anniversary, never been before. My husband had the steak and I had the rump lamb both cooked to perfection. The staff were lovely and the service was excellent.

Went there for lunch with my wife. Sat out in the pleasant garden alongside the canal. Had a very acceptable pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord. Very nice choice of unusual dishes on the menu. Excellent pickled herring and falafel together withtasty hummus.

Excellent location beside the canal and close to Packwood House. Excellent food. I had a wonderful Sirloin Steak. The Guinness was the best I’ve tasted in this country! Very helpful and friendly Staff.

great location beautiful garden overlooking the canal .. very friendly staff .. first class food ..eton mess which I have never seen in my life great job

If the person in the previous review was the same girl kicking off at the bar when we arrived you should be ashamed of yourself. The manger was trying to deal with you reasonably and you were shouting and swearing in front of my young children. I heard the whole conversation and you were being totally unreasonable, the staff were trying their best to accommodate you but you were just downright rude. We had booked a table for 4 and we turned up on time, however there was 6 of us. The manager was fantastic, switched tables around and we sat in the bar. The food and service was fantastic, we are new to the area and are delighted to have such a wonderful pub on our doorstep.

After waiting nearly an hour for food we started to get a bit annoyed, our daughter has Adhd and she was trying her hardest to behave at the table but it was getting more challenging. After we saw the family who arrived after us get their food We asked one of the staff where the food was who went to find out. I had to keep asking until someone eventually came out and told us the food order had not gone through to The kitchen!! This meant that we could have waited nearly 2 hours for a meal after they sorted their mistake! When I raised my concerns I was told that they didn’t have to open and that they were doing there best during this pandemic. What a rediculous response, There are loads of restaurants doing the same and they are not incompetent like these idiots! It was really quite pathetic how poor it was. After I lost my rag with the useless manager or whatever he was we were told to leave. Would never spend my money here again. Appalling. Go somewhere else. Charge 14 quid for a burger and chips if you have the service to match.

Great food! Staff kept smiling, despite running food through to the garden diners in a torrential downpour that lasted hours!

Lovely sandwich menu, friendly staff. Would recommend a visit after a lovely walk along the canal. Be early as it can be very busy!

Not impressed with the outcome of ordering the “pan fried chicken supreme” which was due to come with wild mushrooms, gratin potatoes and sautéed cabbage. The plate arrived and there was one small flat mushroom, no sautéed cabbage, and the gratin potatoes was practically mash potato. Very disappointed, my family raised our concern whilst dining and nothing was done about it. Will not be going here again.

Great Roast dinner, and the staff are very friendly 10/10 Lovely beer garden by the canal COVID safe environment

Lovely atmosphere post lockdown. Nicely spaced tables, but a proper pub feeling. Lovely food- steaks & lamb, fab cheese board. Really recommend it. Loads of outdoor seating and outside bar for a sunny summer afternoon by the canal side. Good luck to the new landlord&lady.

I visited on the first day this pub re-opened and I was amazed with how friendly the staff where and how well they have dealt with the coming back from a pandemic.The staff are friendly and always respectful, the food is fantastic and I think they deserve a lot more than 5 stars.

We stopped by for drinks in the sun and were not disappointed. We enjoyed Lapworth Gold & Blue Moon beers on draft from the outside bar in the beautiful beer garden. Whilst we didn't dine this time, the food looked really good, so maybe next time. This is probably one of the best canalside beer gardens in the area on a sunny day. Well worth a visit!

We were trying to find a pub at short notice, and came across this quaint village pub. Very friendly and helpful staff ( post COVID ), safety measures in place and clearly displayed. Sat in the gardens. Food was prompt, really well presented and hot. Had pan fried seabass on smashed new potatoes, kale, brocolli and beans with a hollandaise sauce - al dente veg, perfect fish and just the right portion. Hubby had roast pork belly roll Sunday lunch - again all well cooked and tasty. Would definitely recommend, if in the area, would return. Thank you Navigation Inn for putting the finishing touch to our weekend away !!

Stopped off here to walk around the canals and enjoy a nice evening dinner. We were not disappointed! Warm welcome and got a table overlooking the beer garden next to the canal. Both my wife and I ordered the beef and Guinness pie, served with mash or chips plus veg. Delicious. Plenty of chunks of beef in a rich gravy, plus a jug of gravy on the side. Food came out quickly. Ordered creme brûlée & panna cotta desserts which were very nice.Great service, lovely pub. Free wifi.Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

An excellent, well organised canal side pub serving quality ale and breakfast. Well organised, SAFE and welcoming. The Timothy Taylor's Landlord is the best draft in the County of Warwickshire. Credit to Mark Ainley, Innkeeper. The hand pull Guinness (no, really) is v.good and the latest today Boddingtons, very enjoyable. A hearty cooked breakfast, lots of space, well laid out. Shout out for Ewan, top man.

Lovely and cosy pub, food was amazing and great service from Ewan, he knew all the ingredients and flavours for the food along with plenty of knowledge about his drinks. Well mannered and polite as-well will definitely be returning!

I arrived after rambling along the canal (the locks in Lapworth are well worth a walk). The bar staff were friendly and I tried a pint of Lapworth Gold (brewed in Coventry) which was lovely. Apparently they serve Guinness the way that it's meant to be served and they gave me a sample. It was the best that I've drunk outside of Ireland. The food was straight forward and filling. Worth mentioning the wifi which was full strength and worked well. I thoroughly recommend this pub.

Went for a meal with my girlfriend, best Guinness I've had since we visited the Guinness factory. The food is even better, with generous portions and tasty meals. Will be going again.

We popped in her for Sunday Lunch last weekend! The weather was absolutely atrocious & it was lovely to be welcomed by friendly staff and a warm cosy atmosphere! We were seated through the back of the pub,which had lovely views of the canal & beer garden. The waitresses were super efficient,very professional & attentive. I have to say this was the best Sunday lunch we’ve had for a long time! We had the homemade Fish Cake topped with a Poached Egg & stuffed Pasta Cannelloni. Followed by a huge half Chicken & a rolled Pork Belly main! Both perched on the biggest Yorkshire Pudding! Veg was crisp & the extra of Cheesy Cauliflower Cheese was delicious too! Amazing meals..well done guys! We will be back!

all i can say about the navigation inn, is wow, meal was superb, really polite staff and such great atmosphere, shall recommend to all my family and friends. thanks for a great sunday

Booked a family lunch today, absolutely fantastic , only had 2 course, excellent service and portion size, can highly recommend, very friendly and reasonable prices.

Went to local National Trust and then to Navigation for lunch. Friendly staff and good food with very efficient service. Thanks again

This is my third visit in as many months and yet again it was superb. The roast beef was melt in your mouth, veg excellent and the service was as fantastic as ever (especially the lovely Ewan who is just delightful). They really deserve to do well as can’t do enough for you. Reluctant to post as want to keep this little gem to myself!

We called in for lunch. Staff were brilliant but we were not impressed with the food. And thought for what we had it was over priced.

Always get a warm welcome from Mark and Alison who own this lovely canal side pub.We had the two course Sunday lunch for 19.95 and it was absolutely wonderful. Well presented, tender roast beef, massive yorkies, crisp roast potatoes and a really flavorsome gravy. Really enjoyed it. Followed this up with a lovely chocolate and caramel torte with creme fraiche. Would highly recommend this place. Excellent service from Kerry.

We went here with our family. A pub with a lovely restaurant. Beer and Wine really good, but the Food was even better! The usual pub choices of Fish, Steak and Burgers, but they had great unusual choices. Really worth a visit, it has been 4 years since our last visit, but we will back very soon. Thanks

Called in when looking at local property and had great lunch and lovely local beer. Nice change from all other local ;gastro pubs; lovely staff and Sunday lunch seems well recommended!

Four of us went here for lunch after a morning walk, we were warmly welcomed (including my friend's dog). Delicious soup, and the fish finger sandwich that one of us had was very generous (and tasty she said) A stilton tartlet was also delicious I am told although it looked a bit lonely on the plate! Decent vegetarian choices. Good coffee. Nice clean toilets. No blaring music that we had to shout over - a nice peaceful place. It would be a lovely place to sit outside if the sun shone. I would go back. Perhaps with a group of hungry cyclists - it's possible to book a table!

Stopped off here for a canal walk and a drink. They were reasonably busy outside but the small bar area was well attended and we were served quickly. Outside area well. Kept and dog friendly.

We absolutely loved this place earlier in the trip and stopped again a few days later. Very impressed with location, ambience, fabulous service and delicious beautifully prepared food. Over the two visits we had sea bass, gnocchi, fish cake, halloumi fries, beef brisket, lamb shank, duck and the mixed grill. The servers were top class, attentive and impressively, remembered the wine we had enjoyed on the first visit. Five stars for sure. Don't confuse with other close by pubs with the same name!

Lovely pub, great location and a good choice of dishes on the menu.

We went to the Navigation for a family Sunday lunch. The service, especially from Sarah, was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The food was a bit of a let down. More specifically, the meats for the Sunday roasts. The beef and the pork were both very dry, as if they had been sliced a couple of hours earlier and left under a hot lamp. The vegetables were OK though. And the desserts delicious. So a little bit disappointed.

We visited this pub on a sunny Friday afternoon. The pub is quaint and welcoming. The garden is very big with a lower field with extra seating. It's a lovely spot alongside the canal. We had a drink and then went for a walk and returned later on when they were serving food. There was a happy hour on which offered around 50p off some drinks which seemed hardly worth it. However they were offering free nibbles at the bar. We ordered our meals which came out in very good time and were delicious.All in all a lovely pub and meal.

My husband and I went today for lunch but we're dissapointed with the prawn sandwich we had the bread was dry,. I mentioned this to the owner who said he picked it up today? Sorry this was not fresh bread infact it seemed like bread out of the freezer. The prawns were nothing special either. I have been a housewife for 60 years so I know when I eat fresh bread!

I came here recently with my family, and have to say it was a splendid experience! The food was incredible - and beautifully presented. I had the sweet potato curry and it was delicious. Also, the service was really friendly and efficient! Our waitress (Sarah) was especially lovely! Will visit again soon.

Nice location to sit in the garden and watch the canal boats go by. Good food for lunch - fish and chops and sandwiches.

Really nice food had sirloin beef. The other one had pan fried salmon. Great service very friendly pub. Licencee/manager she was lovely and staff really polite. Will definitely be returning. Canalside with a lovely garden. Great I would highly recommend. 10/10.

I went to dinner with my husband, we ordered a duck and the fish and chips were outstanding. service was very friendly and offered us desserts we chose eton mess and browne I have never eaten anything better beautiful presentation

One of the best meals out for a long time. The quality and presentation of food was first class. Five of us shared fish platter and baked camembert starter and there was plenty to go round. My son and father in law who knows fine dining had the pork chop which they said melted in the mouth. I had braised steak which was delicious, my wife had fishcakes that came with perfectly cooked poached eggs and my other son had burger both of which they said were

We went for dinner one Friday evening and you have to wait until 6pm before being able to order. We were hungry by this time so ordered one starter and two mains, all of which arrived together! Surely any decent restaurant would serve the starter first or at least ask you if you want it all together (which they didn't). When you are paying a decent price, you expect at least the basic service, we would therefore question ourselves before going back as this is more expensive than your usual pub food, but the service lets it down.

After visiting nearby Baddesley Clinton House, we went to the Navigation for an evening meal. First visit, welcomed and invited to choose a table in the dining room and have a drink until the kitchen opened half an hour later. Promptly at 6 pm the delightful waitress came to take our food order. When the meals came to the table, they were generous portions, beautifully presented and made for very good eating. We were tempted by the puds and not disappointed. Again generous portions. The atmosphere in the dining room was complemented by lovely decor. Had it been a warmer evening we could have made use of a large garden alongside the canal. As it was, we contented ourselves with a table by a window. We will definitely visit again.

We haven’t been back here for a while, the pub has a lovely side garden overlooking the canal & with plenty of seating options outdoors. We were here for early lunch on a nice Sunny Monday, after a very friendly welcome we chose to share lunch between 3, we had soup-a croquet & a sandwich .... all nicely cooked nicely served - just the job !

Stopped here with our Canal boats. Had a very friendly an welcoming atmosphere, food was excellent as was the service and staff. Would highly recommend to fellow boaters

Met a group of friends for lunch sat in garden overlooking the canel. Good service. We all had a sharer plate of mixed fish, very good value. Tasty and more than enough for 2

This was the last night of our holiday.

Took our grandchildren here for dinner (from our canal boat). Access through to the quiet smart dinning area is across rather uneven flagstones and can be rather restricted by customers standing in the bar area.

Came here with friends for a Sunday dinner. There was about a quarter of the staff members as needed for the amount of people there (I work with food). Huge wait before any interaction from staff - they rushed back and forth around us and other waiting guests, avoiding eye contact. Customer service was poor. Any questions were met with sighs, reluctance and rudeness. The roast dinner was average at best and not worth £15 by any stretch. The one positive was the beautiful setting it was in.

Food and service were excellent, we look forward to visiting this place again sometime in the future.

Such a nice friendly pub with exceptional food. Excellent. Can’t fault it. Have gone out of their way to make us feel very welcome. Will definitely come again.

Visited here on a Friday night and my husband and I were the only people in the entire restaurant. The food was very tasty, but the whole meal felt very rushed with no break between starters, mains and desserts. One other couple did arrive during our meal, but the emptiness of the room did make holding conversation a little awkward.

We visited here for a midweek lunch a few weeks ago. This pub, with a separate restaurant room is located on the Old Warwick Road in Lapworth next to the Canal, hence it's name.

First time to visit this pub and restaurant, its always comforting to see the chef wearing chef clothes.

The Navigation is a lovely traditional pub; great beers, good wholesome food and a nice setting. Very reasonable prices and efficient and friendly service. A good evening😊.

We had a wonderful early dinner there with our young son yesterday. The hospitality from the landlord and his wife is first class; attentive and friendly yet really efficient.

We had the most beautiful Sunday Lunch here last week and of all the pubs that serve Sunday lunch in the area, this is by far the best. The meat is perfectly cooked and the accompaniments plentiful and really well presented. The staff are attentive without being intrusive and the atmosphere calm and welcoming. We returned yesterday for lunch and again the portion size and quality was gorgeous. Highly recommend the fish n chips and cajun cod burger.

This was our first time visiting and we were not disappointed. Two courses for £19.95 or 3 for £24.95. We could not manage a third. The food was fabulous and we will definitely be returning.

Drinks usual choice ... food ordered was over cooked chef should really check the food before serving out... burnt chips left on plate and over cooked fish... did tell the waitress when asked if all was ok she said I will tell the chef ... obviously he/she would already know nvm

First class country pub. The food is excellent in both the bar and restaurant, while the beer is top class. Dogs are very welcome in the bar area which has a log fire. Its a perfect place for a drink and lunch after walking the dog along the canals.
