Been going through my bank records for my tax return, and noticed that 2 payments went off my card on the same day from here. This was a year ago, so no chance of sorting it out now.

Very much a traditional pub and a little rough around the edges. We got a warm welcome from the two guys behind the bar who were both very friendly. The Inn sits alongside the canal, and some of the other customers had arrived by barge and a good atmosphere was developing. The food was - I am very pleased to say - also traditional. My wife and I both had the gammon with chips and peas and it arrived well cooked and without being kept waiting. The price was pretty good too! We both enjoyed our meals and will definitely revisit next time we are this way. A time of writing. they were only opening Thursday-Sunday, so it is worth checking first.

We have been visiting The Navigation for several years, but I am sad to say that our last visit at the weekend was very disappointing. There was not enough staff to cope with demand, resulting in quite a wait for food However the staff that were there were excellent, and certainly tried their best. Outside the grass area was in desperate need of some tidying as it was quite overgrown. This is such a shame as it is one of our favourite pubs, and has always been good in the past. I hope it returns to it’s previous standard soon

This is how an out of town should be. Guessing summer trade is its biggest asset next to the canal. Used search for sites with our camper van, pre warned, got a warm welcome email to stay. Table reserved when we got there. Big car park. Nice staff. Did the £20 for 2 people meal deal (fish n chips) . Absolutely no complaints for what we got. Chatted to the locals for local info. Landlord joined in. Said we could leave our van the next day to explore the area. Really nice guy. More than happy to eat/drink/ stay here again.

Really nice, traditional pub in an historic building. Clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly and polite, attentive without being intrusive. Good, hearty traditional pub grub. Drinks were ice cold, which is just what you want. We had steak, chips, peas, onion rings and salad, & scampi, chips and peas with the most delicious homemade tartare sauce. Not over priced, either. 3 meals and 3 drinks came to £53, which is very good value in the current economic climate. It's dog friendly, which is absolutely lovely. They even sell dog ice cream, which is super cute. Plenty of parking outside, right beside a canal with barge boats moored up. It's a nice place serving good food and we'll definitely be going again.

Very disappointed with here this was a recommendation that sadly didn't come through. Had fish and chips it looked nice but had raw batter in the middle and the chips were barely warm, my hubby had steak that I had to put most in my bag as he couldn't chew it and I saved it for my dog. The staff were rude and didn't seem Intrested at all. Will Not be returning.

We were hiring a canal boat so stopped for our dinner Bizarre! Looks rundown on the outside, dark and felt grimy inside, needs a good deep clean. Plastic plants and ivy everywhere. Including all the steaks, restaurant, bar and children’s menus there are over 80 dishes to choose from - crazy we chose basket meals from the bar menu food was hot and tasty Staff were friendly and knowledgeable - just right Overall atmosphere was cold. Nice to be in a pub that’s not a chain but not sure they know what they want to be Very dog and child friendly although some dog water bowls we green with stale water

I went here earlier today and had a bowl of chips and a cup of coffee. I sat at a bench in the garden and watched the world go by as I enjoyed the taste experience which was thoroughly satisfying in every way. Why, I hear you ask , does this only merit one star? Well, the low star rating doesn't actually belong to the pub. I'm bestowing this accolade on the extremely rude neighbours who share the pub car park. I'm referring to the boat hire company who moor their boats alongside the car park. I arrived by canoe and was about to exit the canal and carry my boat to the garden 10 yards away when a lady cleaning the boats told me i couldn't get out there and directed me to a bridge about half a mile back. Bearing in mind it's quite heavy carrying canoe that distance I was not best pleased. There weren't signs saying no canoes (which I would have respected) only the stroppy attitude of said woman. I raised the issue with a junior member of pub staff but I don't think anything will be done. That's really the reason for this review. Could the pub manager and the boatyard manager come up with some better signs or maybe compromise a bit? This might prevent arguments in the future. I almost didn't bother with the pub but it's not their fault and I didn't want them losing trade. God bless thanks for listening.

Decent pub with helpful staff in a lovely location. Food was pretty good, but vegetarian options were very limited. Really just one option; mushroom stroganoff. Such limited options are more 1990 than 2023 and we’re pretty disappointing. I’d have given 4 stars if the options were better.

Called in here just before they stopped taking food orders at 2. Inside has far more appeal than outside as when we first pulled onto the car park we thought it was closed ! Very friendly staff and it’s cosy in the main dining area. We had two steak & Ale pies (as recommended by the chef whilst we were at the bar 🙂), they were probably the best pies we’ve ever had and came with a superb tasty gravy. An interesting aqueduct adjacent to this pub and the canal built in the early 1800’s. Don’t be put off but the low key kerbside appeal as it’s worth a trip inside. Clean toilets too. Attentive staff. Can’t grumble. I’ve given instead of 5 due to the lack of appeal from the outside… P.s unless you’re a local or know the pub the entrance is right around the back…

Another first class meal was had tonight and very much appreciated . To be able to get fresh, home-cooked food locally ( even home-made ice cream) is a treat and seldom found in the age of freeze-fry and microwave meals. Pete is a chef who rightly takes pride in his excellent food and we are never disappointed. Exceptional value.

Ten of of us stopped here for lunch today. We were unanimous in our approval of the welcome, the warm atmosphere but most of all by the wonderful cooking. The selection of dishes on the menu is eclectic and includes some pub favorites like whitebait and beer battered haddock but also some less usual items: harissa humus and braised leg of lamb for example, but the moules frites got my vote; the best I've had a quite a while. Worth the trip any day!

We had a fantastic stay here. The food, both dinner & breakfast were gorgeous. Well cooked & succulent, with all our allergies taken into account. This is elsewhere, usually a problem. A lovely warm venue. Our room was spacious & clean, with a fenced patio area for the dogs to use, or to sit out in the sun. All topped off by friendly, polite staff. We're looking for reasons to visit the area again, just to stay here. We've been back. We found a reason to visit. The same outstanding, excellent, service, with gorgeous food. Thank you to all.
