All very good, including the landlady experience until the food arrived. That is when the good experience turned into a problem. My friend Bill ordered chillie con carnie which is, as it happens is my speciality at cooking! This one tasted like minced beef had some chilli chucked into it. Simply just a tasteless but overly hot lunch. Even worse is to follow. I specifically asked about the cheese and onion pie. The landlady said “it has two cheeses is a big seller” so I ordered. My mistake. It arrived complete with baked beans and thick chips, but very obviously the pie had been microwaved so the pastry was very soft. I returned it to the bar and she agreed to serve a different meal. I ordere...
I don’t live far from here but called in as some family are staying in dale cottages, however i couldn’t find it and this pub was on the advertisement photo, (booking.com) so i called in to politely ask for directions. I was told “im not the land lady, i just work here” and she rudely stomped off. The nice couple at the side kindly suggested where they thought the cottage then was and spoke in a normal kind manor. (Probably to help break awkwardness) However I’ve heard the food is suppose to be nice but certainly wouldn’t be going in to try for the sheer rudeness of this bar lady. Im really glad as it was suggested not long after for a meal early next week. I don’t think I’ve after left a ba...
We are regular visitors to The Navigation and have been for 17 years. Visited on Sunday for lunch and was left gobsmacked at the rudeness of the lady behind the bar. How this lady has got a job in the hospitality trade is beyond me! We thought that the pub had changed management and I actually asked the waitress where Sue was and was told she was on holiday. It’s possible the rude lady was the covering manager. I wouldn’t have ever visited again if I thought Sue had left for good. Please Sue reassess your staff before leaving your pub in the hands of someone so rude to your loyal customers!!
We must like the Navi as we have been dining there for over 20 years. My latest treat was fillet steak Rossini which was cooked to perfection whilst my wife ordered Cod, both meals tasted delicious and were presented perfectly . We are both foodies and tonight certainly didn’t disappoint. Well done Sue, Mark team Navi!

Always good food at the Navi, their curries are always full of flavour. For starters I couldn’t resist the soup which was pea ham, made to a traditional Lancashire recipe, which Sue Mark get just perfect. For main course I ordered Fish Kofta curry and my wife ordered Salmon fish cakes, both meals were excellent.
Had a post Christmas family lunch at the Navigation Inn, we received a very warm welcome. Everything on the menu looked delicious, we were spoilt for choice. Food was lovely, portion sizes are on the large side, so no room for pudding unfortunately. Looking forward to going back there sometime in 2024!
First time recommended by friends. The food was amazing. We all had 4 different meals and all were nice but them chunky chips were the best. Taking the order was a little slow we had to ask but other than that will Definately be back just lovely atmosphere
We had a delicious meal the beef brisket special was very tasty and I was pleased I could order a small portion of fish and chips leaving space for a pudding! Lovely, attentive service too.

Great beer, great service and great food. What’s not to like. Special mention for Jo on the bar who is the essence of professionalism whilst still having fun with the customers.
Delicious food and very friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend and will be returning again. Good and varied menu with vegan options.
