We have just moored up next to the Navigation inn hoping for a pub meal. When we got there, there was a sign saying no food available. As a couple of hungry boaters, we were quite disappointed. I ignored the sign asked if there was any food. They said as they had just re opened, there wasn’t any. They asked if we were boaters. When we said we were, they offered us several local takeaway menus ordered the food to be delivered there for us. What hospitality. Next time we’re passing this way we will definitely call in again. Huge shout out to Navigation inn staff.
Every time we stay in Leicester we like to come to the Navigation Inn. It is an old pub next to a water canal. If its warm enough you can sit directly near the water. They serve traditional food of really great quality. The chips are outstanding!They offer a small range of ales and beers. We really love the Old Speckled Hen! The staff is really nice and friendly! We hope we will be able to come back soon!
Great Pub Grub with a varied menu to suit all tastes, excellent service, and good value. Really enjoyed our lunch here. Omelette looked delicious and was able to opt for Tuna Salad without the mayonnaise and swap new potatoes for Chips. Would definitely visit again. Also great location on the canal side with option to sit overlooking the canal and countryside.
Stopped off whilst walking the Canel, no food service but really understand the obstacles involed with implementing save service very well thought out one way system and the service was great. Sat in the little beer garden at the back overlooking the Canel peaceful would highly recommend for a stop off for a pint. The Guinness was too knoch as well

This establishment is friendly for dogs- we took our dog in and he was given a treat! The staff seemed friendly and there was a definite local vibe about the pub, so it was more comfortable to sit outside in the sunshine with the dog and see the canal. I would come here again as the menu looked promising!
It was Monday so not the best day of the week to find somewhere serving lunch. However we were warmly welcomed and we all had a lovely freshly cooked lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. Prices very reasonable too.
Visited on canal boat and unfortunately not serving food. Really friendly and pragmatic staff helped us out with takeaway options. Would recommend 100% for beer and hospitality (Navigation Ale recommended).
We came on the canals and came across the navigator pub, the landlord was very friendly welcoming and the food was amazing. Highly recommended if your passing
