The Navigation at Lock 13 in Stockport

Visited yesterday after an absence of a couple of years - what a transformation! The beer was also first rate. Highly recommended

Seems an over elaborate design never known a bar with so much space behind it.

Only called in for a beer after walk by the canal, great place, friendly staff. Dog friendly too😁

Very clean pub, passing through but would go in there again without hesitation.

Good quality pub, good atmosphere! Woman behind the bar was very friendly

Barmaid made a snippy comment as I walked away from the bar and a drop of beer from my (very lively) pint of Unicorn went on the floor. Didn't hang around long enough to form much of an opinion other than that but definitely won't be rushing back

Zara is so friendly and professional behind the bar

Do not serve food but great place for a chill out and a drink

Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere

The beer tasted spot on ! Zara behind the bar creates a fun atmosphere

Stacey and Zara were very friendly and efficient. Zara even brought the pooch some treats

Amazing service from Zara and Lynn. Thanks ladies, nothing too much trouble. Will deffo come back, such a warm welcome xxx

Best pub and politest bar staff ever, zara is fab xx

Brilliant staff. Zara is an asset to Robinsons.

Always friendly. Reasonable prices. Great for Saturday night karaoke and dancing. Always a good laugh.

Really friendly and fun atmosphere, fairly good parking and always a good night out. Definitely would recommend!!!

Lovely Pub with friendly staff and customers

Really nice pub friendly atmosphere

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. A must visit when in the Marple area.

I love it here!! All the staff are brilliant!!

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff, really good place to spend the night with friends or family

I love this pub, All the staff & the customers. Such a friendly and warm atmosphere and the staff are 10/10 for customer service. Definitely would recommend.

Been here many a time and always found it to be very welcoming by everyone who works there and all the punters. It has a real community feel to the place and the landlady always goes out of her way to help everyone.

Always a great night on a Saturday with karaoke

Fab venue! Love the DJ on a Sat! Looks amazing after the refurb, great service every time, friendly and welcoming 😊

Great friendly place with a great atmosphere Plus dog friendly 🙌

The refit looks amazing,super friendly good place to go

Excellent refurbishment. Robinsons real ales. Good atmosphere.

Lovely new decor. Clean and fresh . Great service

Made too feel uncomfortable soon as entering,customers sat around bar making remarks.snug room was dirty with ripped seat's

So very noisy with a group of about 10 talking loud and laughing. We heard it in the back room and could hardly hear each other speak.

Not a place to dress up for,no food served

Decent pub ,Short measure on pints

A great private function upstairs.... 👍👍👍

Had a lovely meal at the dolce vita thought we would pop in the navigation for one drink before heading home. Walked in and told "we're shut, that's why the curtains are closed!" It's Friday night and only just passed 9pm ....we were totally gobsmacked by her stern unprofessional attitude. We just turned round and walked away. As we walked out a group of around 8 people made their way in, we told them that we had been turned away because they were closed. Guess what they all got served. Rudest woman I have ever met, unprofessional and obnoxious. Pubs are a dying trade you should be grateful for every person that steps foot in your pub. Disgusting

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. As soon as we entered the function room, we realised there weren’t enough seats. There were people having to sit in the corner of the room without a table. We noticed the “continental style” breakfast, which consisted of cheap white bread, the cheapest coffee I have ever tasted, and boxes of cereal. Sitting down, we sat patiently waiting for our full English breakfasts, which never arrived. We were in awe at how much we paid for the tickets, for the worst “continental” breakfast. The music kept cutting out, and the “entertainer” sang two songs - badly - which weren’t even Christmas songs. The “Santa’s grotto” was a sheet stuck up in the corner of the room, and he was absolutely horrendous. Super awkward and couldn’t hold a conversation with my daughter. She was gifted a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Zero magic. Zero fun. Empty Stomachs.

Old skool pub decent and Celine the bar maid 🙌

Nice pub, but disco night on a Saturday is too loud. It made us leave as quickly as we could. I could understand it if people were dancing, but while we were there no-one was, Infact a lot of people were sitting in a room with us where the door could be closed and were also saying it was too much. It was even difficult to order a drink as it was so loud. Such a shame as its a nice pub, but I really didn't want to stay somewhere so loud!

Very expensive us all I'm going to say 😳

Very friendly pup and very clean too

Not been in for many years, it is a nice cosy clean and friendly pub

Lovely friendly pub, we were there for a funeral wake, it was perfect...thank you 😀

Trad pub. Beer could be better., friendly enough

Visited yesterday. Such a great pub and amazing service. Friendly welcoming and highly recommend you visit!

alright should have a pool table

Nicely renovated pub, a lot better than it was years ago, several punters hogging the bar, not very welcoming, staff great

Good atmosphere on Saturday night. Staff are friendly.

Fantastic pub with friendly customers and a great atmosphere. We had a function here at the weekend which was absolutely amazing thanks to Stacey and the other members of staff being so welcoming and friendly! Thank you so much for such a memorable night! Cannot recommend this pub enough.

Friendly staff reasonable Cleanliness

Great place to relax after a few hours walk along the canal

Nice stout served here, good little lunchtime drop in with friendly staff

Great people in there and the lushious Lesley,but the outside patio area is a tip,seen it cleaner at Glastonberry.

Great pub very friendly staff and customers

Brilliant thanks to Stacey and staff they are looking after everybody with their usual caring Outlook

Good service. Well organised.good atmosphere 👏👍

Good location nice atmosphere and good selection of ales and wines

Good beer and good safe distancing

Hands down one of the best pubs to go to - staff are always friendly and welcoming can and quite cheap as well! Also feel safe and everyone was social distancing (well kept)

Great food and cosy atmosphere, with excellent service made for a perfect evening

Pretty soulless, old man's pub. Staff friendly however.

Great local pub in Marple. Good variety of drinks and really pleasant staff.

Smart, almost canalside Robinson's house. Multi-roomed, with a vault and lounge at the front, and a further larger room to the back, beyond the bar. Three Robinson's cask ales on the bar. Comfortable and welcoming.

Reasonable prices friendly and welcoming

Not interested, unfriendly, unless you are a local. Will have friends visiting gang of 8, not in your establishment

Good pub with fair priced beer and has the footie on! Oh and allows dogs 😁

Excellent pub for live football

Needs a refurb and clean and beer was not good. Gone down hill

I have known the Navigation for many years it used to be a classy pub albeit with a small c. Marple band used to practice upstairs and the mainly mature clientele made this a nice pub to visit.fast forward to last week and on a visit with friends we were met with the loudest music possible, the pub was empty apart from 3 Jeremy Kyle types on day release holding the bar up. We ordered drinks and I had a pint of Robinson's Dizzy Blonde which I had to return as it was sour so were the other beers so I ended up drinking draught Guinness always a safe bet. The barman had all the grace of a Dignitas staff member when I complained his answer was "its a new barrel" maybe it was three weeks ago !.We had already decided to leave as the music was that loud we couls not hold a conversation despite asking for it to be turned down it was ramped up again, to our surprise the barman said they were closing at 10 pm thank god I thought by which time the Jeremy types had also gone. I do not know whats gone wrong here Marple is booming with micro bars gin palaces and cocktail bars but sadly it looks like another once good pub will join the ranks of a closed Robinson's pub that litter Stockport. Maybe a tour of once good Robbies closed pubs around Stockport would be a good idea.

Some very nice aspects but struggling to provide a service. Excellent atmosphere if you like football. Very comfortable lounge, meeting room ideal for funeral wakes.

Decent pub quiz, though is pretty tough for the younger generation. Food is good.

Good selection of real ales. Nice place offers food on selected days and hours. Check before you visit. Also has a dart board

Lovely local oldie pub wonderful food

Ranks along with white horse in disley as best sunday lunch we have had over last three years since our return from cape town. Gravy to die for,def ten out of ten for us :-)

Lovely cosy pub good beer an wine just on the canal .

Well kept Robbies. Friendly new Landlady and staff. Big place with multiple rooms, so not cozy, but if you like Robbies, you'll like the beer. Beer doesn't seem over expensive to me. Not cheap, but about standard prices these days.

Lovely lunch well cooked traditional food

A Lunchtime visit to the Navigation, a lovely homemade steak pie, well cooked and tasty. Good friendly service.

Nice pub to drink and eat either inside or outside in a patio next to the canal and local Marple locks. Dogs welcome outside and inside.

Reasonable pub in Marple. Better than its reputation

Vegetarian options for food are virtually none existence

Welcoming warm pub with great staff and friendly customers, dog friendly for the dog walkers.

Lovely friendly place, Chris the landlord is so welcoming and funny love him

Ate here many years ago - roast beef not topside so didn't order - burger average quality - only 3 sweets and one of them not available and long wait for second choice sweet although very few eating - won't be returning to Navigation!

A nice friendly pub/food outlet,with good decor and a spacious smoking area, please note due to being a robinsons pub, drinks are not cheap at £4 for a pint of carling

This is an old fashioned pub with a mostly local clientele. A nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Toilets have been updated and are lovely. The lunch menu is varied and the food was your usual fare. Unfortunately the website is out of date eg. Two meals for £12 no longer applies as pub has changed hands.

A loyal customer base, but a tired and uninspiring public house compared to what we have. Shame

Beer isn't kept well. No Old Tom.

Interesting old pub. Robinson's tied house with decent beer.

Nice pub but can be a little quiet

We popped into the Navigation for a quick drink after a tiring but enjoyable walk around Roman Lakes. It's a nice enough pub with a largely male clientelle watching the football at this time on a Sunday. We found a quiet room and sat down to peruse the food menu. We weren't expecting to order lunch as last time we visited food wasn't available. We both decided to try the fish and chips which promised a Dizzy Blonde beer batter which sounded good to the pair of us. The type of fish wasn't actually mentioned and it may or may not have been cod. The chips appeared to be frozen and the mushy peas tinned. However, the fish was nice enough and the meal in general filled a hole. The price of £8.95 each seemed a little steep for what you got but there did seem to be a few decent offers available if you chose certain dishes. There also appears to be a ramblers special discount which we weren't offered and didn't enquire about. All in all it was OK but nothing special.

Nice pub great pint of real ale freindly landlord

Love this pub! Amazing staff and friendly locals. Good selection of lagers and cask bitters. The food is proper pub grub and really well done. 10/10

Great pub to watch all the sport, lively pub, particularly when City or United are playing. Had a couple of meals here and found it very good, they were really busy on lunch time but still didn't have to wait long.

After a walk along the canal in the rain, my mum and I decided to pop into 'The Navi' to warm up with a bite to eat. Despite the bar area being busy, we were warmly greeted and shown to the dining area with a menu - everything on it sounded tempting. I plumped for The Ramblers Special - a warming bowl of homemade soup, a sandwich (I chose sausage) and a pile of chips, it was delicious. My mum posted for the traditional pub treat of scampi and chips, and it was good to see that the scampi was whole tail and not the reformed bites, this was enjoyed too. All in all, we had a tasty, affordable meal in quaint surroundings, and we will definitely be returning.

Just called in the navi with my daughters and grandchildren, food was brilliant and plenty of it!! All reasonably priced, Can't fault it at all! Was stuffed to the brim!!! Beer and staff also excellent! 5*
