The Navigation at Lock 13 in Stockport

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.... 👍👍👍

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.

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

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*

Home of the fantastic Thursday Quiz, a rapid turnover in management has lead to deterioration in the quality of the pub of late. This pub is crying out for a decent, long-term, commited landlord

Super pub with good selection of beer and wine. Lots of different comfortable rooms - a tap room, a snug and main lounge. Pleasant and helpful staff. Worth a visit after the trek up from the station.

Entered the pub and asked for the menu to be told their kitchen was being reorganized. Met somebody else in another restaurant to be told that the public house had not served food for quite a number of weeks.

Para ser honesto, desde que la gestión ha cambiado en este lugar ha ido más allá de la colina. No hay un punto de nuevos propietarios, no les importa. Las pocas personas que aquí son hombres de edad que multitud el bar, así que no...

Average pub great service ( free round of shots from the bartender ) but the quizzes are pretty bad

Friendly atmosphere, very well managed at busy periods.

A menudo pop en aquí, es un típico pub Robinsons. cervezas bien y limpio y el personal es muy amable.

Iv pasted this pub many a time after a walk around marple must say friendly welcolme 4 awsum robinsons ales on all top form nice spaceous pub just pop in your love it great food menu must try next time.

Agradable pub con cómodos sillones de cuero. Los baños están muy limpios. que es en sí ya que nos dijeron que las cocinas estaban cerradas cuando pedimos tiempo de almuerzos.

nice friendly place with lots of character. sports and beers seem prominent with ideal location close to the locks for a refresher after a walk!

Would be better placed in a dockside pub. At first not sure if this person was a drunk customer or the Boss as he described himself. Will definitely NOT be visiting again. Not family friendly whatsoever.

We wanted a quick lunch, the bar maid advised they had not had a promised delivery from one of their suppliers, so she would check with the kitchen as to what was available. Good food at reasonable pub prices along with excellent beer.

Welcoming and good beer. Near to hotel on main street it was late evening when we arrived to find taped music in main bar. The beer was the usual brand of the area, but there was live music in the upstairs room with a variety of artists and styles just what we needed to relax after a days walking. As it was a Tuesday night it was unusual to find this

Not to sure if the staff knew what they where doing or if there was a menu being served ..... anyway ordered our food from a very rood old lady from behind the bar not to sure of her name think it begins with a L like Lesley then the so called chef came out complaining he didn't have this and that very vocal the both of them and not in a nice manner ...so I took the family away because of the language to another pub around the corner The Bulls Head we didn't get any food as they don't serve food...just got some snacks... great company and ale..The Navigation ....what a joke horrible staff didn't get to try the food but as a good food pub bit of honesty get rid of the staff who haven't a clue .....

We called in as we had an hour to wait for a bus connection and although the beer was good it was somewhat overpriced for the area, my wife had filter coffee which she enjoyed.The experience was particularly marred by the fact that the actual bar is quite small and drinkers at the bar ( obviously locals by the conversation ) were reluctant to move so I could access the bar and this fact was totally ignored by the barman and his female helper.They advertise a T bone steak with trimmings for £10.50 which seems good value but I don`t know if it would live up to expectations and I feel the night would be spoilt by the selfish attitude of the bar warmers and indifference of the bar staff

Came here for my birthday in December - found that the staff behind the bar (2very old men) were very rude actually gutted when we ordered food. When the food came it was more a less thrown I front of us (3 women in are 30's) I ordered the lasagna and it was the crappest thing I ever put in my mouth! But after a long day at work and only had a very small lunch I ate it! I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK- EVEN IF HELL FROZE OVER!

Good food, lunch or tea, food is always good, service good too.Recommend. Near to cinema for before or after drinks.

This place is a nightmare, the food choice is poor for starters and expensive for what you get. We chose a table and asked the waitress what the soup was, she looked confused like I had spoken a different language, she had to go check.. We went to the bar to order and had to wait behind a huge group of men who block the bar, eventually we pushed our way to the front, there we met the bar man.. He couldn't work the till, got our order messed up (4 items) and at one point actually walked off to engage in a conversation with one of the bar hoggers part way through my order. Literally just walked off! Shocking! .. The food was awful, the chili was a tiny portion and tasted like it was from a tin. My daughters fish fingers were horrible and grey?? Plus they have a dog that sits at your feet while you eat, I love dogs but I don't expect to share my lunch with one!! Will not be returning here for sure!! On a plus side the food was piping hot so thumbs up for that.. But sadly only that!!

Sunday lunchtime meal (approx. 1pm) - when we sat down, the remains of someone's food was still on the table, Staff were generally unwelcoming and he was unclear about whether they were serving food or not. On the menu it stated that for Sunday lunch, see the board - there was no board. The ordering process was unclear and the food was not good. The 'medium steak' was just a lump of dried meat, the bubble and squeak fishcake was virtually devoid of fish. Overall, a very disappointing meal.

Great atmosphere, great service and fantastic food made by the chef Elliott. Great value too, 3 courses for £9.95 :)

I have eaten in the navigation several times and have had a great meal every time...from burgers to a gorgeous steak! The staff and service was second to none,fairly priced food and drink, would highly recommend to anyone! The pub dog, which I believe is a Rottweiler, was lovely and soft and was no where near us when we were eating as the customers all seem to love her! Will definitely be returning with the rest of the family and will no doubt soon become a regular! Just fantastic!

Called at the navigation a couple of time's for food, can't fault it, well prepared food at a very reasonable price, Robinson's bitter on top form, staff all friendly etc, I'll be calling again, enjoyed it

Went to the navigation in marple with my family for a meal I won't be going again the service was awful the food was sub standard and being family friendly there was a dog (rock willer )free to wander around the pub not very good for hygiene and a lot of foul language from the clientele not good when you've kids

Friendly pub with quiz nights and live music. A few different rooms to hole up in, including the legendary Jimbo Walker room.

Cracking pub just off lock 13 and a very welcoming place , stopped here for a well deserved pint before riding 12 miles back home . Well worth dropping in if your in need of some refreshments after a long ride/walk.
